Do not give up hope; there is always opening your own practice (which several of my law school friends did and are happily setting their own dress codes) or a non-law job where you can finally wear bright colors and fun shoes without eliciting scowls from your 'betters' (which is the route I took). As for you ladies in Miami--I have a friend down there who told me they have something called 'summer rules' which relaxes the dress code for court (no jackets for men; open toed shoes for the ladies). Wouldst that those of us slogging through sweltering summers in the northeast had such perks! I might have delayed my exit from the profession by a year or two. Paperpusher–

When I was a summer associate one year, we got messages from time to time that said things like "Remember, knapkin tops are NOT appropriatve officewear, even under suit jackets." When I asked an associate about it, he said "Oh, don't worry, that's just the Miami office." To DMCollins — I can believe that.

Unlike LizaBet, I'm still in the law office looking out of (my own small associate) window and wondering, what the HELL am I doing here?

I was reminded why eight years ago I told the senior partner I was going out to lunch and never went back! The shoes are lovely, by the way--if I'd had such a pair during my lawyer days, I might not have left the profession!
