    I stopped caring about what other people think of me back in high school so I wear what I want.

    Perhaps it's a generational thing but I've never seen a group of people so offended by sweats and flip flops. It makes me chuckle everytime.

    Pretty much.

    Drive down just about any city street for a perfect illustration. I refuse to be seen in public with people that dress like that.

    My favorite cartoon is of two dogs (four legged kind) one laying on a rub on the floor and one sitting at a kitchen table with paws on a computer keyboard... One says:

    "The best part is; they don't know I'm a dog"

    Yes. Choosing the right outfit that matches your mood and desires is VERY important. Comfort is secondary. Color and style is everything. Have fun with it!

    But whatever you do, don't be the one who is discussed the next day around the water cooler where the words "street w##r#" or "WTF?" is used.

    [I read that in Cosmo]

    Sweat pants and or flip flops = I give up on today.
    I don't think it's been mentioned yet, but shirts with offensive writing or pics are a no no. I realize too many people get too easily offended these days. However, common sense please. Saw a driver with a shirt that said "Tell your boobs to stop staring at me." The lady at the receiving window rolled her eyes. I wonder how long he had to wait?

    He needs to be thankful he wasn't told to take it off.
