I used to be the blonde clueless one and had a boss, Mrs. Brown, who was a former model. She inspected all her "girls" prior to the store opening each day, she would address every item of clothing, undergarments and makeup before the store opened. "You, go to the makeup dept. and change that eye shadow. You, go to lingerie and get some black hose to go with that outfit." You, those earrings are gaudy,..." and so on. Much later in my life, I worked with a Barbie just bursting at the seams of her clothes. All the secretaries got together and sat her down to discuss "office attire" and that higher-ups were considering firing her because she gave off an unprofessional look that they didn't want their clients to see. She made a complete turnaround. In the office I'm currently in, our front office receptionist thinks its okay to wear hoodies and hipster pants that show her crack. The girls here are working on her. I would tactfully approach this girl and let her know that her work is good, but if she wants to move up in the company or this world, how she is dressed will tell people how to treat her, and tell them what she is capable of. If she wants respect, dress respectfully. If she wants to do well in this business, dress professionally, and so on. Good luck!JRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05302685089721575210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5400344605652517258.post-7717008406696490012007-12-15T16:28:00.000-08:002007-12-15T16:28:00.000-08:00Dave - Your implied threat has been noted!

From a boss's point of view, and of course a professional perspective..that's a lose/lose situation.<BR/><BR/>Depending on her maturity, she could think you're talking to her about it, because you're jealous. But as Sayre says, noone is going to take her seriously if she continues to dress like a skank, oh I mean, college kid (lol). You could just let her know the boss asked you to have a word with her about it, and that some of the office men are feeling uncomfortable around her. Dunno.<BR/><BR/>And like Eileen, I almost choked on my breakfast when you referred to yourself as prudish lol. <BR/><BR/>Whatever you do, good luck!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015797292828295587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5400344605652517258.post-67503191949574361092007-12-13T11:57:00.000-08:002007-12-13T11:57:00.000-08:00How glad am I to not be in your shoes?You'd think ...How glad am I to not be in your shoes?<BR/><BR/>You'd think she'd have a clue about office attire.Jazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14644896022880634803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5400344605652517258.post-50985402349280326972007-12-13T08:10:00.000-08:002007-12-13T08:10:00.000-08:00Oh boy do you have your slight problems..

I've never worn one, so it would be easy.

Perhaps if you approach it from a "professionalism" point of view - sit her down and ask her what her goals are with regard to her new career, and then break it to her that no one is going to take her work seriously if she's still dressing like a college kid. Once she absorbs that, you might be able to point her in the right direction clothing-wise.<BR/><BR/>I work with a lot of college kids and have had to have this talk because they think that they're going to have a big career in TV. And after I finish telling them to stand up straight and get the hair out of their faces for their resume tapes, I tackle the clothing issue. Unfortunately, some of them won't believe you until they've been passed over a few times because of they way they look...Sayrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350593991157139017noreply@blogger.com
