Check out the dress code my company wants now:

Appropriate Formal Business Attire	Inappropriate Formal Business Attire

That's for Mon - Thus. Now for Fri:

Appropriate Business Casual Attire	Inappropriate Business Casual Attire
For Men   Tucked short/ long sleeved cotton shirt (no tie) Collared polo-style shirts (golf shirts) Cotton Trousers , Khaki and Linen pants Socks Hard-soled shoes Boat shoes	Untucked shirts Round-neck T-shirts Blue jeans Bermudas Shorts Athletic shoes Sandals
For Ladies   Dresses Jacket/Blouse & Skirts Collared polo-style shirts Dress Pants Dressy Sandals	Sun dresses Halter tops Tube tops Non-collared T-shirts Blue jeans Bermudas Shorts Flip flops Slippers Platforms Canvas or Athletic shoes

Now, if they give me some clothes allowance, maybe I can adhere to the policy. If not, I don't think so. Just one suit will cost $100, excluding the shirt inside. And closed toe shoes will kill my toes!!! I think the firm rather I wear closed-toe and take off my shoes at the client's place, than to let me wear open-toe shoes.
