MOST of us don’t think twice about the dresses, skirts or trouser suits we pick out of our wardrobes for a day at the office.
Neither did a blonde mum-of-two, until she was sent home for what she argued was a respectable black dress.

American mum Marie Dee, who has two jobs to support her little boys, was stunned by her colleague’s reaction to her carefully chosen workwear.
Marie opted for a short-sleeved black bodycon midi dress with a high neckline covering her chest. But the HR woman claimed it was distracting men in the office.
She decided to share her experience with the internet, and the video - shared by Barstool Sports - went viral.
2.8million TikTok users have watched Marie’s experience so far, and they’re all saying the same thing.

In the clip, Marie turns her camera to selfie mode and stands back for us to see the full length of her body. She shows viewers what she thinks is acceptable black dress, turning around to share every angle.
Marie paired the dress with simple gold hoop earrings and two short necklaces.
Text over the top of the clip reads: “Guys it happened again, I’m getting sent home for my outfit.”
She continues: “This time the HR girl approached me. I’m about to ask her.”

Marie then questions her verdict: “It’s distracting?”
“Very,” says the woman, strongly.
TikTok users jumped to Marie’s rescue, sharing their shock at the woman’s opinion. They claimed there’s nothing wrong with her dress, and that HR should send home the ones who are distracted.
Others commented on the HR woman’s "clear" jealousy, saying that she obviously wishes she could wear a dress like Marie’s.
