It’s inappropriate dress for work. You dress like that when you’re stumbling into a wine bar. But this is the commons. The mother of all parliaments. The blokes are all wearing suits n you are dressed to trip the lights fantastic.

If I had a quid for every time someone had commented on what I wore rather than what I said... 🙄 This rarely happens to men - calling it out is the only way to educate 👊🏻
