'...a woman is asked out as much for her clothes
as for herself. The clothes are the background,
the frame, if you like: they don't make success,
but they are a part of it.
WHO WANTS A DINGY WOMAN?
We are expected to be pretty and well-dressed till
we drop - and if we can't keep it up alone we have
to go into partnership.'
~from WORK CLOTHES - Casual Dress for Serious Work
by Kim Johnson Gross & Jeff Stone (1996)
