Women, such as myself, like to look good before their bosses and coworkers. Unlike a few men we try to appear our best in every moment, even if it is at a very very boring job.

However, there are always certain limits to how we dress. It is very obnoxious when a person is able to see women's bras and/or other revealing intimate things. For me, as long as a lot cleavage does not show, then that is fine.If a woman somehow wants to show something else, do it at a strip club (seriously!). There are times in life when we have to make decisions. Do I show cleavage or do I not?Usually in a professional setting a person should not show a lot cleavage. The woman that is making that decision of dressing like that is either trying to get a date, or something entirely else.

Men, if you are out there listen to this. It is the boss's responsibility that women showing too much and either offending or disrupting work should be informed that they should dress appropriately. In a study, women who dressed appropriately often gained a raise rather than a woman who dressed inappropriately. Even though it might please someone to see a bra in a work setting it is not acceptable.

Women out there, listen. There are other ways of captivating a guy's heart and flashing in front of a boss isn't nice. You can ask the guy to a dance out a club and there you can show whatever nasty thing you can think of and it's all up to you. Have respect for yourself and for your coworkers and be nice. And remember, a lot of women gossip about how much cleavage and other things show, so it would not be so nice as to entertain others. Woman! If you think that by showing off your gunk you are going to get the attention, look at it this way, you will probably never get a raise. I am serious, and you might get fired. If you have a boyfriend and still show your trunk, then realize that you should have respect for others' feelings.

There is a lesson to be learned. There are so many negative connotations on women's revealing clothes. It is not even an advantage, and in some ways the truth is that it is a bit slutty. It might hurt one's feeling, but a person can look beautiful in professional attire. I exercised a little too, to be able to look pretty, and even my coworkers admired my outfit and me. There are always many other ways to work it out. Your boss would probably say you look good too, if you tried another way.

Question: What was the moral?

If you answer correctly, give a pat on the back and say horray!
