How would you begin the dress code?
Surprise me when I am getting dressed - when I open my closet, only dress code items are there
Tell me that I am now under a dress code and take me shopping for new clothes
Tell me to strip down to my underwear and dress me in my new dress code so that I understand what I am to wear and how it is to be worn
Hand me my new clothes that you had picked out for me and explain to me the new rules
