You're supposedly hired because the boss thinks you're more sensible because you dress like a shlub and act like a little girl.
That's why Miranda hired her because she was unlike any girl she hired. She saw her as more serious/productive applicant. She wanted to take a risk.
"She doesn't like me," you whine to a co-worker.
She didn't like her because Andy proved her wrong by not being serious. She saw something in her and thought Andy would care about the job and do a great deal for her. She didn't and criticized everything. She mocked them when they were trying to decide between the belts and laughed. Clearly, an employer wouldn't be too happy about being mocked like that.
Suddenly you think if you dress like the vapid girls around you, your boss will suddenly see how fabulous and smart you are?
Yes. If you dress for the job you want, your boss will notice. Looks do matter, especially in the fashion industry. Since Andy cleaned herself up more, it looked like she wanted the job more. Therefore, she looked more serious about the job.
I worked at a restaurant and it was a requirement to wear black pants. I wore black jeans (it's all I had at the time) and my supervisor didn't like it. She pointed it out to me a few times. So then I bought slacks and she noticed and thanked me for doing so. My point is, is that looks and appearance do matter to employers.
