Back to work *cries*

I hate the human propensity to put fashion or propriety ahead of comfort. Because of it I have to wear goddamn long black pants and a 3/4 sleeve button up shirt today. Because it's "professional" to be hot and uncomfortable.

My principal would rather I wear shoes that leave me footsore by the end of the day than wearing Crocs, in which I can walk around in for the whole day with no problems. (and get no smelly feet or tinea).

They might feel comfortable, but crocs are actually pretty bad for your feet. No support and all that.

I'm lucky where I am that's not a consideration (at least until the students come back)

If it makes you feel any better, I'm doing the same thing. It's 32 over here, and I'm currently wearing brown suit pants, and a 3/4 length sleeve brown shirt. I left the jacket at home cause luckily I don't have any client appointments today, yay!

I should be in khakis and steel-capped boots! Although that is still hot in this weather - at least it has a practical purpose.

Dunno, what about skirts and dresses? A lot cooler than pants and definately acceptable office attire from what I see around the city.

I am actually wearing a skirt today - but they're not so good for me either because my legs rub together and it aggravates my eczema. I'd rather wear shorts.

And even then I can only wear certain skirts and dresses. I have two appropriate skirts and no appropriate dresses.
