Casual Thursday

Today is thankfully my last day in the office for the week!  Although I generally dislike a number of things about the corporate world, every now and then we get a few perks.  Today they're feeding my team a tasty lunch of pizza from Chicago's own Lou Malnati's (sorry - I can't help but get excited about food, especially if it's free), and after that we get to spend the afternoon having a Wii bowling tournament on ridiculously large projection screens in a conference room.  Seriously.  I'm getting paid to eat and play Wii today.  It's kind of awesome.

It may be too soon to tell, but I wear a lot of skirts and dresses, especially for work.  I'm more comfortable in skirts/dresses than jeans any day, and I think they're usually more flattering too.  Because I was hired for my job in a summer, I think I had a pants-free streak of a few months going when I started working there.  Finally, one of my co-workers very politely asked if I had some kind of religious opposition to pants, which still cracks me up several years later.  In any event, it's pretty rare for me to do this in 80 degree weather, but since it's a fun day, I decided to go casual with jeans.

How do you go casual for work? Do you prefer skirts and dresses to pants too?  Have any of your co-workers ever mistaken you for a well-dressed Menonite? (seriously, I'm not making that up)
