If she is dressing inappropriately, that is something for HR to deal with, not you.

I can't guess on what might be considered normal in her workplace. I live in a tropical area, and open toed shoes are pretty normal, wearing pantyhose is uncommon.

Feet are just the example I have. The bigger picture involves those other parts you're referring to.

Casual in terms of being told what to do rather than a strict relationship where one controls the other. This is hypothetical, I'm getting advice.

Yes, this is a serious relationship. I live in the USA. This has nothing to do with religion. Just a matter of respect.

You both are too young to be talking about marriage. More maturity is needed. I'll bet she's talking joint bank accounts, to keep the money flowing for her designer shoes and clothes. This is a trainwreck in the making.

Why would you want to marry a woman who sabotages her employment with chronic bad judgement? You really need to think about this. Her mistakes are hers to make, you don't get to tell her what to do. And if you marry her thinking that will give you license to tell her what to do, you're asking for a trainwreck. Ask yourself: why are you making such a bad choice?

Lol as long as sandals are allowed then it's fine. If it's out of the company dress policy, then no...

But getting jealous for other guys looking at her "cute feet?"

That sounds like major trust issues.

Can we put the feet aside? That's the only part I can use as a photo to try to illustrate my point. Overall, my concern is the entire wardrobe. I understand other men can control themselves and she can show whatever she wants to whomever she wants. It's a matter of respect really. No?

Agree. Also, the pedicure is nice, but otherwise I see nothing "cute" about those feet, but then, to me most feet aren't cute except on a little baby - LOL!!

I think it would help us all understand the bigger picture if you could please post pictures of the more concerning parts. At least a picture of her typical attire that concerns you..

If she wants to dress hot-go with it. If anything it will make you look good for being with her.
That's my point! I'm not with her. When I am, like going out at night, is not a concern whatsoever.
