I would say dress pants and khakis would be a good idea. Some skirts or even dresses will work, as well. She can also wear some nice sweaters or blouses.
She is lucky she will not have to worry about wearing a blazer. Those are really annoying. It is a good idea to buy a nice sweater in a neutral color in case she is wearing a blouse and it gets cold.
She can always keep that at the office and wear it when need be. I've found that New York & Company sells a lot of reasonably priced dress casual outfits. She should head to the sale area, or sign up online to receive coupons.
Sometimes if you get the coupon and great sale items, you can walk out the door with about $200 worth of clothing for $75.
Dressy casual" is almost a contradiction in terms. When I was a human resources director (I've been retired several years), my company approved "business casual" attire for workers. Business casualwear is more comfortable than the more formal businesswear of old.
Think pressed khaki slacks with a navy blazer and low-heeled (but closed toe) shoes rather than a dressy suit and high heels. You can find many examples (with photos) of business casualwear via search engines or books. The key, I think, is that if it's too casual, it's not for work.
You're not taken seriously at work if you don't dress neatly and with a measure of thoughtfulness about what you're wearing. This is especially important for a woman. Your daughter's boss may be using the word "dressy" with casual to get across the point that dressing in a manner that is too casual is not appropriate for work, but to save for after work.
Employees who show up for work looking sloppy may be sent home to change clothing! However, if your daughter isn't sure what the term means in her company, she should ask her new boss for guidelines about what is acceptable and what is not acceptable. Your daughter can dress appropriately for her job in business casual attire without breaking the budget.
Try discount stores or even thrift shops to find good-looking clothing that will fit the description for inexpensive cost.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
