"shorts to work?"

   I have no meetings today so I wore a nice shirt and Talbots black bermuda shorts that hit the top of my knee.
Do you/have you ever worn shorts to work?
(SEP - you may not respond to this.....nice shorts while you're working would be an upgrade for you...just sayin')

   I used to wear shorts to work every summer. As I've gotten older I've switched to capris to spare the people I work with.

   Only once, and it was part of a nice 2-piece suit, pale pink, with shorts that went to my knees. LOVED that outfit!!

Every day! Love working at home where no one sees me. I was offered a part time job at a bank a few years ago...what??? Long pants/skirts AND SHOES?? Not enough money for that! And what I love is I can wear them almost all winter long too!

   For the shop I did wear bermudas in summer. Jeans or trousers are too hot for here and in the shop I could afford the casualness. I am starting a new job in September as MArketing Manager though so bermudas to work are a definite NO. Which reminds me I have to buy suitable work clothes as these past three years I didn't need any for the shop.

   I used to wear them to work all the time when I taught preschool. Dressy ones of course, but still shorts. Now I work in a corporate office, so we have to be fairly dressed up, but myself even moreso since I sit at the front desk.
I do wear dressy cropped pants on casual Friday's though. It's the rebel in me.

   I work in the Vice President's office, so shorts are not allowed. My position would result in an 'intervention' if I don't dress appropriately, but a subordinate was actually sent home to change when she wore very dressy knee-length shorts.
Summer here is often very hot but we are still not allowed.

   I wear shorts to work everyday - mind you work is a rather loose term for what I do but still. Sometimes I even put on a bra.... only sometimes though.

I work at a very casual workplace (Alcatel-Lucent, a telecommunications company) where people routinely wear shorts in the summer and scuzzy jeans and t-shirts most of the time. That said, I don't wear shorts very often. I wear a lot of capris and nice t-shirts in the summer and dress pants/blouses in the winter. I just don't feel comfortable showing a lot of skin or something, though I do change into running gear at lunch and people see me occasionally.
However, I just purchased a new pair of bermuda shorts (to the knee)that I was thinking about wearing this week!

   every day, which is one of the perk of working for yourself.
