Cleavage at Work

Does Power Suit Have to Mean Power Boobs?

Jordan Q
I believe in "If you got it flaunt it...When appropriate"

There was an article in Glamour about cleavage at work and how appropriate it is...What kind of vibe does a woman give off when she wears a low cut shirt with a push-up bra to a power meeting. Is she trying to make up for something? Is this acceptable?

Do we all have Erin Brockovich syndrome?

I saw a gorgeous woman yesterday walking down the street with two gentlemen who were clearly her colleagues. She was wearing a sexy yet sophisticated pin-stripe suit with a white button up shirt. She was beautiful and confident from a distance...as she walked closer to me, I could clearly see that she was wearing a black push-up bra. I believe I have the same one. How did I know this? Because her shirt was unbuttoned down to past hear under wiring of her bra. This, for me, destroyed the entire appeal of the outfit. It went from sexy and sophisticated to sleazy and trying too hard. Is this appropriate to wear to work? Just because you have it, does mean you should shove it people's faces...especially at work?

I'm a woman working in the corporate world, though I work in a more laid back office. I can come in here wearing jeans and a sweater or a nice button down shirt with a skirt. That's my choice. What's also my choice is the cleavage that I show with the shirts I wear. I wear V-Neck shirts that most other women would wear alone but I buy them a size too big so that I can wear a tank-top underneath. This makes me feel more at ease at work. A woman doesn't have to flash her boobs to let guys know that the boobs are there.

    in reply to the piece above about cleavage the problem is most women dont realize how distracting their revealing clothing is for men- their desire to feel sexy and attract male attention perhaps is stronger then their worry about distracting men- many especially younger ladies probably are not bothered too much about the fact that their provocative clothing turns men on sexually- the messages todays women are getting from the media etc is that its good and okay to look very sexy anywhere -thers nothing to feel guilty about the message is flaunt your assets- at work, on the street, in church etc.and the affect on men is not such a big concern - men seem to have less say in the matter of how women should dress than in the past
