Jeans in the Workplace

Good idea or bad idea?

In today's society, I think tasteful, dressy jeans should be acceptable in the workplace... if not everyday, at least once a week!

There are so many cute ways to dress up jeans (ex. Blazer, button down) and jeans can look great on anyone if they get the right size, cut and color! However, it seems that some people just don’t understand what is or is not acceptable or how to effectively “dress up” jeans.
