Hose Woes
Wow, if I wore hose, I’d use it to cover my face right now. Seems I really stirred up some readers with my last blog, in which I questioned the University of Central Oklahoma’s policy that female students attending a career fair this week must wear hose if they wear skirts or dresses.
My point was that if the skirt was of appropriate length and the shoes were nice, who’s cares about hosiery?
Readers Vicki, Diana and Jack do. The women both pointed out that many businesses have dress codes, so students should err on the side of conservatism in their attire. Diana says that some employers also might prohibit visible tattoos, which could be covered with opaque hosiery.
Jack said dress codes should revert back to the 1950s, because that’s when morals were high. But then he added that he’d like to volunteer for the hose-checking duty because “somebody’s got to do it.”
That last comment sort of sent chills up my spine, so I think I’m going to put on a pair of hose now — for warmth.
