Thanks for the examples, Shadow. That helps a lot!
I ended up wearing the nicest suit jacket with a skirt on Monday. It's odd, I expected someone to say something, like, "Hey, you look nice." Hehe. I probably just looked normal to them. It all felt extremely formal to me, but I tried not to dwell on that.
After two days, I've noticed that the women always have jackets on with blouses under them. Some wear skirts, some wear pants. Some of them don't button their jackets and just leave them open. One is a lesbian and wears vests, too.
Even though the dress code says that we aren't required to wear jackets with our blouses, I haven't yet seen any of them without a suit jacket. I'll give that a try tomorrow, and just wear a cable sweater and a pair of slacks.
Dlish, didn't you know? All Goodwill stores teleport you to the 70's when you walk through the door. That's why all the cool kids go there.
Daniel--good luck at your new job! Is it chemistry-related?
