Im sure you can dress however you want on weekends and at night. But in the fashion workplace, its probably true that you have to make an effort at all times. It's common in many careers. Lawyers have to look professional at all times and my previous hairdresser had a 'no ponytail' rule for her staff because of the style the salon was to portray.
If dressing stylishly and polished for work isn't your thing, then you'd be better off finding a job where fashion and style aren't important.

Never regret anything that has happened in your life. It cannot be changed, forgotten or undone. So, take it as a lesson learned and move on.
