[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like it and also think life is too short to spend any more time in boring navy suits if you don’t want to.

I used to work in library/information services and knew a lot of professional women who dressed like this. I think it’s because it’s a women-dominated profession. It would be very normal to go to a conference, especially at a resort, and see both speakers and attendees dressed like this. My impression is that K-12 education is similar (not just teachers but people who work in administration or run businesses that sell to schools). There is just less pressure to dress “like a man” in order to be taken seriously when most of the most successful people in the room are women.

Now I work for a legal vendor and this would be seen as somewhat transgressive, especially in any setting where there will be people from the firms we work with. I still go for bold jewelry and will often choose a bright color accent, but this dress would be considered too casual for most of the people I work with.[/quote]

That's a great observation. I was speaking at a big conference last week in a female-dominated industry and people wore whatever the heck they wanted (lots of jeans, lots of retro dresses, lots of everything except navy suits).

I think if you feel good in this dress, and you work in a field/position that can accommodate bold prints, you should wear it. I love the print.[/quote]
