Something that really turns me off (in particular) is heavy use of perfume; I'd rather sit next to a chain smoker! I also tend towards more casual dress in the office, for practical reasons. (4-inch spike heels and tight skirts are not very comfortable.) Being "fashionable" is not something I value highly, whereas being comfortable is. If a woman thinks she has to make herself miserable by wearing such things to prove her value to other women (or to men), I am not likely to be very impressed. In fact, I'm likely to think that she's more concerned about her appearance than her job. Froggy
