Fashion or Professionalism 
I am currently enrolled in a crazy amount of school right now. One of the things that all instructors and guest speakers have emphasized is professionalism. Now we all know that sometimes fashion and professionalism do not go together and many times they can't compliment each other brilliantly. 
One of the classes I have to take is Interpersonal Skills (in the business department). Our group had met the instructor last Friday during orientation. She was wearing the same thing (therefore it will be a hobby of mine to notice if she wears the same outfit every Friday). It was a pink blouse (that looked way too big or just not properly tailored in the bodice and tight tight sleeves). She tucked this into high waisted trousers in a grey pinstripe (that didn't match) but it wasn't evenly tucked and the buttons were coming open flashing views of a wrinkled, flabby 60 year old stomach. She polished this off with shoes (on pant leg over the shoe, one pretty much tucked into the shoe) that were chunkier than Doc Martens with a full round toe in a burgundy shade. No smooth leather, some sort of embroidery thingamajig. It was brilliant. Hair was messy and blond, half in her face and frizzy frizzy. Over all a 'professional' look for our business class.
