The biggest issue is "open toed shoes" and whether or not sandals can be considered work appropriate. There is apparently a lot of confusion as to what constituted a sandal. Fortunately, the sub-committee is packed with like-minded individuals who feel strongly that there is such a thing as a work-appropriate sandal. Especially given that we work in Houston, Texas and it gets fucking hot as hell here. The "can slides and mules be work appropriate" question fortunately has been resolved (yes you can wear them, but be mindful of noise). I am not sure if hose/stockings are in the jurisdiction of the sub-committee.

I am so jealous.
I think the key to distinguishing "nice sandals we like" from "crappy hippy/beach sandals we hate" is to condone "dress shoes (including open dress shoes with straps)" or something like that. Agreed that there can be no separate prohibitions for the kankled/pedicure challenged other than those dictated by their own common sense. I think you do not have jurisdiction over pantyhose, though you might pick it up by default if there is no undergarment subcommittee.
I was so busy being shocked that the Bush women crossed their legs at the knees that I didn't think about the openness of the daughters' shoes. Alas, gone are the days when you could at least count on the proper wives of southern politicians to cross their legs like ladies.
