CLOTHING GOOFS CAN GET YOU SUSPENDED AT WORK

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Corporate offices are beginning to resemble high schools -- at least when it comes to dress codes. According to image consultant Dominique Isbecque, many companies are sending workers home because of dress code violations -- just like in high school. She blames the fashion police mentality on employees who take advantage of liberal policies like "Casual Fridays" by showing up in extra tight T-shirts, seductive cutoffs and wrinkled, stained khakis. Isbecque says although employees may enjoy the free ride of getting suspended for a day, it hurts business in the long run by crippling worker productivity. Now, she's trying to remedy the problem by consulting with several corporations to teach employees the dos and don'ts of how to dress for casually in the office.
