"There's "gentle" teasing for anyone who dresses "above their station", though if you do it long enough people will calm down about it an accept it as personal style."
Tho I wonder how much of this is a West Coast / high tech thing. I read a few fashion blogs, including corporette.com, which is focused on women in law/finance on the East Coast, & that doesn't come up. There's a lot more emphasis on 'dressing for the job you want (no matter how high up)' & 'power dressing.' Occasional West Coast commenters will say s'thing about how this would get them odd looks.
