My agency is “casual”, but recently I’ve been getting legit picked on for my work attire. No inappropriate parts of me are exposed. I wear jeans&a t shirt or leggings&a t shirt every day (cont).

A lot of the women in my department are a little fancier, but that’s just not my style. Every time someone brings up what I wear it really screws with my head and now I’m second guessing everything I do. Do I play their game and dress nicer or say fuckem and keep doing me?

Thank you 💕 this was helpful
