Those two seem to be in complete disagreement on the dress code de rigueur here: sporty street casual or the little black dress with a touch of bling?
Ever been overdressed for the occasion? Or worse, underdressed when everybody looks sharp? What was your exit strategy? I am curious.

Oh, waitaminute, you mean the one in black is a she?! >8() Jeez, it totally looked like a guy to me...
A to your Q: yes, yes, "what memo?"
On aurait pu voir cette photo, comme un affrontement Policier / Etudiant ;o) Belle photo et bonne idée.
Pour moi, aucune stratégie, comme je sors souvent que dans les clubs de Jazz et de Blues, aucune tenue de rigueur.
Utilitarian chic and grunch! :-)
Ever-lovin' hilarious! I can't even think, I'm laughin' so!
Thanks for stopping by to see Flat Stanley. I've had fun with the photos, too.
That really is one funny pic! Brilliant! Was it set up?
Cendrillon avant et après !!
La pauvre en haillons avant !
La même transformée en princesse avec robe de soirée noire et argentée !
Mais moins conte de fée, ce pourrait être le symbole de la pauvreté face à la richesse ! Chacun choisira.
Bonne idée de demander une interprétation d'une photo !!
Humour!
Some years ago I visited the top management’s floor at one of Sweden’s largest banks. I was dressed in jeans and a cardigan and I knew I didn’t follow the dress code – I was miles away from it. The penguin (valet?) taking my coat very noticeable turned up his nose at what he saw. Exit strategy? Ignore him, do the job I came for and quietly leave the building. I think the (bank's) penguins are extinct while I’m still around.
Luckily everyone here dresses very casually so overdressing is never a problem. We did get dressed up today for the Melbourne Cup - pearls and hats - the lot!!!
Will only get to a couple of people tonight but wanted to pop in and say thanks!!!!
that's so cute--!
(and your cell takes great photos!)
It's all a question of attitude!
Eliane, I think what we have here is the 'go-for-broke' construction type vs the 'sensibly-steady' city worker.

•fénix: excellent point! See what I did? I made a judgement call based on style and nothing else. In my mind, it had to be that way otherwise one was a little too butch and the other a little bit too pretty. I did not mean to discriminate, I swear!
•olivier: aaah, un peu d'huile sur le feu? Hmm, I can see that. Faudra repenser le dress code: imagine que tu ailles à une première au
Jazz at Lincoln Center où la crème de la crème du Jazz et du Blues se pointe. Faudra peut-être localiser la cravate, non?
•ming: that is a much better description than what I was trying to come up with!!
•lynette: maybe you should ask Flat Stanley what he's thinking about all this. I'd be curious to read his opinion.
•glenn: nah!! I wouldn't dare rearrange the street accessories™ ( the expression street accessory™ is the intellectual property of Lynette in Portland)
•claudine: deux très bonnes idées, Cendrillon et le clash des classes!! Je m'amuse beaucoup à lire les commentaires. Beaucoup d'imagination dans tout ça! :)
•peter: I like your fearless attitude. I think as we get older and more experienced these are things we probably stop to do. On this side of the ocean anyways: I am used to hear colleague ask what the dress code is for a meeting that I end up asking myself. While in our Europe office where the atmosphere is more casual and I am more familiar with the habits, I probably wouldn't.
•jules: pearls and hat is a classy yet simple combination. I am hoping for a picture of that hat of yours!!
•bluechic: yep, that's why I had to take this one.
•sinapse: good point! It's all in the head!
•steve: are you implying that one is an out-of-towner and the other one a manhattanite? Ooooh, that's a bit harsh maybe... ;)
•••You guys are such good sports! Loved to read all those creative comments from your funny brains put together!
That's a pretty beat up traffic cone. Did you notice that it is leeching onto the metal water cover next to it!! That's turning orange also. What's up with that?
Remember you can never be overdressed, only undressed.
En France, les clubs de jazz sont moins strict qu'a NYC, la tenue de soirée n'est pas de rigueur.
J'ai eut le plaisir de voir deux fois au lincoln center le maître (ou le dieu) des lieux sir Wynton Marsalis, et j'étais en tenue "étudiant" ;o).
Everyone happened to be dressed in wrong way in some occasion. I think it may occur more to men than women because you female are beautiful just because female while men have to dress to appear. Think to one moment to the tie... Does it have the same in women way to dress? No. That the point: why a formal man suite need a tie? (Of course I'm actually wearing one. Lol)
•boston: oh my, you guys are good! I think if we continue to stare at that picture one more minute we will get a whole movie script with all the stuff you guys found.
•: yada-yada-yada... Ouh, le Sieur Marsalis? Veinard!
•fabrizio: what would the world be without those smashing Italian suits? Scary and sad, right?
great capture
:)
the orange cones in Singapore are fatter!
the ones in nyc seems to be on a diet and they forgot to bathe!
•maria elisa: thank you. :)
•keropok: no way?? I would have bet the opposite. Too many stops at the Mac Donalds maybe?
Obviously this NYC one has a little issue with personal hygiene. Which is why the hydrant seems to ignore it, if you ask me.
Well written article.
