Missouri's House of Representatives kicked off its new session by tightening its dress code — but only for female lawmakers.
That sparked an almost minute-long back-and-forth between her and Kelley, who agreed that it was"absolutely absurd" to have this conversation on the House floor. Then why, Aune asked, did she even bring it up?

"How is encouraging professionalism wrong?" Kelley added."If there is ever a time to honor traditions and be professional it is on the House Chamber Floor in the Missouri House of Representatives; I will not apologize for standing up for these things."Dress codes are regularly the subject of controversy and debate in educational and professional settings, and state legislatures are no exception .
