I have opinions - elbows and knees

agoodwinsmith I've been seeing young women wearing severe business suits with long sleeves and high collars and itsy bitsy mini skirts - seriously Jewel Of Heaven revealers and I have been uneasy.
I finally figured out why. I have a deeply held fashion belief: if your knees are out in the breeze, so should your elbows be equally on show. And conversely, if you want the gravitas of the heavy jacket and cuffed white shirt, then your skirt has to reach closer to your knees.
Don't want that much skirt? Then you are going to have to roll up the sleeves of the white shirt and wear the suit's waistcoat instead of the jacket/coat.
This is going to be some Golden Mean of Fashion, I just know it, which means everyone is going to try to break the rule and still look like a promotable authority. Yeah. Have fun storming the castle.
