Leather chaps and also have a pair of leather overpants for colder days. The dress pants I wear to work are paper thin. They would provide no protection if I ever went down.

I wear some Walls bib overalls (they're like Carhartt) that I bought at Farm and Fleet pretty cheap. They're pretty tough and stand up to the wind really well. Easy to get into and out of.

I'm in the same boat, but not as short LOL! I have a pair for LBZ free style MX pants and they block alot of wind and keep the dirt off. When I ride to work i try to ride on dress down days so I don't have to have diferant outfits and all that stuff. maybe a nice pair of workout pants would work for for you?

firstgear overpants are good. they have removable liners.

they wont cover your shoes. you might consider chucking the boat shoes and wearing boots. most cube-farms don't care as long as you aren't wearing spurs/spikes or some other nonesense.
