I've heard this many times before, and sometimes I'm like, yes, that's awesome, no effort, but other times it's annoying. <br /><br />If I ever escape winter and make it to sunny LA, I'll be wearing sundresses and skirts all the time. I understand dressing casual, but I think sloppiness shouldn't be encouraged.

It's the privilege of a writer to dress casually all the time, and it's what execs apparently expect.<br /><br />I've read a couple of places that producers may actually be disappointed if you don't "look like a writer." As I prefer dressing up a little more and don't actually like jeans (skirts are more comfortable) - this leaves me in a quandary, but you should be just fine.Laura Deerfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06481017193764065233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-47532738427751461992010-03-13T17:01:58.333-08:002010-03-13T17:01:58.333-08:00Dress down for meetings, absolutely.Dress down for meetings, absolutely.Joshua Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08239067667651048280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-1576996165702978072010-03-12T21:41:54.089-08:002010-03-12T21:41:54.089-08:00If you were a dude, I'd say a nice non-print t...If you were a dude, I'd say a nice non-print tee and some khakis would be alright. Starbuck's chic all the way. But you're not a dude.<br /><br />If your school clothes are just like simple slacks and simple button-up shirts, I think that'd be fine. Not too much of a slob. Not too dressed up either.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598679791761825577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-79307415719949644212010-03-12T20:15:53.410-08:002010-03-12T20:15:53.410-08:00Okay, I looked it up.
