I am not really into black in the summer. What with the heat and humidity, black just attracts even more heat. I wouldn't be caught dead at the office wearing sneakers. I trust you are simply encouraging women to wear sneakers to get to and from work?

Looking at this particular article reminds me of a time when I worked in a law office and there was this young lawyer who wore the same suit, day in and day out. The only thing she changed were the shirts.

Got very boring looking at her day after day. With all the money she made, and still living at home, you think she would've invested in a few more outfits with a bit of panache to them.
