I thought it was crazy then and still do but that opinion is out there. I still wear a red jacket with black pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/idiotic-comments-at-the-office/page/2#post-740057 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 15:44:20 +0000 Anonymous 740057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I couldn't have said it better than MaryK! I thought everybody knew that red goes with black. Apparently not. And remember: You can't fix stupid. Husbands, on the other hand, can usually be trained about fashion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/idiotic-comments-at-the-office/page/2#post-740016 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 15:14:17 +0000 Jonesy 740016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Harumpf, I say!!

MaryK has a *very* good point, which I shall use the next time my SO makes some crack about me looking like Alice from the Brady Bunch when I wear my hair up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/idiotic-comments-at-the-office#post-739916 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 13:40:20 +0000 texstyle 739916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The office staff aside, remember my personal favorite when DH makes a negative comment about my fashion I sometimes just pout and say "I thought it looked kinda sexy." He usually changes his view immediately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/idiotic-comments-at-the-office#post-739909 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 13:30:32 +0000 Laurinda 739909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alaskan Law office, wandering dog, fashion sensibility...<br /> I see the makings of a great comedy/drama TV series. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/idiotic-comments-at-the-office#post-739899 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 13:21:59 +0000 Lisa 739899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have issues with coworkers all the time with my wardrobe.

Has the paralegal ever seen Santa?? Even the mall mock-ups typically wear ::gasp:: black boots with the RED Santa suit... Banish him to the North Pole, pronto!</p> <p>As for the other half, try explaining this is the Docs' WORK look; jeans are for casual(er) days... (though I'm not holding out much hope for a conversion here!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/idiotic-comments-at-the-office#post-739757 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 05:51:23 +0000 Ingunn 739757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This Summer a friend from an other country pointed out to me how unstylish Norwegians are because of their unmatching shoes, belts and bags. I smiled inside throughout the entire tirade.

Don't forget, tomorrow is Sequin Friday!!</p> <p>As for the red and black not matching, the appropriate response is, "They don't match. They GO. Duh." Delivered with a withering look and pitying headshake.</p> <p>As for Mr. Una (alaskaman?),tell him he is free to wear his Docs only with jeans, and you will continue to rock yours with dresses. And he is not required to like it, but he is required to keep a civil tongue in his head! (Or, as I tell Mr. K, "Everybody who wants to critique my outfit may so signify by saying "I don't want to have sex for the foreseeable future!") </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/idiotic-comments-at-the-office#post-739600 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 01:35:50 +0000 catgirl 739600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro, my paralegal is a guy too.

I was just thinking the same thing: "But lumberjack plaid is red and black!!!!"</p> <p>And, Una, I love Docs with dresses. Yes, I was a teen in the 90's, why do you ask? ;)</p> <p>I was once told by someone in my lab, "Nice boots. They look.... fashiony."
