Chapman was unhappy when shopping for her own wedding gown 16 years ago, which prompted her to launch a bridal boutique in an area lacking such quality expertise."It created a desire for me to establish an environment for brides that was fortable and that offered gowns that were all of one hand and taste level," Chapman said.In other words, she had found that too many salons tried to be everything to every bride.

For brides on a budget H&M just made it a little easier to bring that cost down about $1,000.But a question still remains: are H&M and Target actually selling ridiculously cheap wedding dresses?

In 2010, the Kanawha County Sheriff's Department adopted a policy banning tattoos or body art that were visible when deputies wore a short-sleeved summer uniform shirt. Under the policy, any deputy who had a visible tattoo prior to adoption of the new policy was allowed to keep it, but new recruits being considered for a job are asked if they would be willing to have a tattoo removed as a condition of employment, sheriff's department spokesman Cpl. Brian Humphreys said.
"For us, it's more about uniformity," Humphreys said. "We are representing the sheriff of Kanawha County, and important to bForklift forkse professional and appear professional. It's important for us to dress and look accordingly."
Kanawha County Clerk Vera McCormick sent a memo to her employees in September 2012 reminding them of her office's dress standards. "Clothing worn to the office should be selected to reflect a business-like and professional image," McCormick said.Unacceptable articles of clothing listed in the memo included leggings, sweat pants, halter tops, short shorts, short skirts, "sun dresses that reveal back or cleavage" and "tank shirts or tops that reveal back, cleavage or stomach." Jeans were discouraged unless employees would be working in an area that would likely damage or dirty nicer clothes.Sayre said county officials have recently begun requiring employees who work at service windows or deal often with taxpayers to wear polo shirts with their office logo and khaki pants.
