For the last 2 day’s I’ve been uber corporate. It is hard to believe, but true. I’ll have pictures to prove it later.

I was up and out of the house by 7 am with hair done (ie. no ponytail), make up on and dressed (ie. no yoga pants).

I went to breakfast meetings, tweetup’s, business lunches and seminar’s on social media.  And I did it all in heels – 4″ black Nine West Stiletto’s to be exact.

Yesterday, I met someone for lunch at the (Formerly known as) Sears Tower.  As I stood in the lobby waiting, hundreds of guys rushing by with smiles on their faces and comfy shoes on their feet – all I could think about were my comfy Merrell’s that were waiting for me in the car.

It then made me think about corporate dress codes and just how silly they are when you really think about it.  People should be allowed to dress in what they want for the job they have.  We are grown ups.

Does the guy at McDonalds flip better burgers because of his starched button up short sleeve shirt instead of a t-shirt with the company logo?  Does the kid that delivers mail in corporate america really need to be wasting the $27,000 a year his degree from an overpriced university is paying him to get his foot in the door to buy suits to wear to work? Does my wearing pajamas yoga pants all day make me less able to analyze spreadsheets and make decisions?

Ummm. NO!
