My thoughts are.......do what you can. The fellow showing up straight from work in his dirty work clothes is doing what he can. His priority was getting there instead of missing for the sake of looking good. Been there myself. I have to wonder though.....the same folks that say they wear what they want because that is what's comfortable, i.e. shorts and flip flops.....would show up to their granny's funeral or their daughter's wedding dressed the same way? Are they the same people who, as cartervj and I mentioned, bashed Obama for dressing down in the White House and Fetterman for wearing sweat pants and a hoodie to the inauguration. What's more important to you? That's a choice you alone have to make.
