Also, I did notice capris pants on my assistant and the executive secretary -- I explained, in a semi nice way, that capris pants are only for young girls (which they are not) and, in any event, not for women with stubby legs (which they both have) and not for the office (which we were all in at the time). Also, today, my assistant (who is a little bit older than I am) wore a pant and shirt combo that bared a wee little sliver of belly -- but her belly is neither wee nor little. Do I just leave the issue alone or do I tell her that pears should not expose belly skin?

Flip-flops have replaced puffy white sneakers as the women's commuter shoe of choice here. Some women are wearing them at the office. This will all change with the first fall weather anyway, when women will switch to the equally scary LLBean boots with suits.
Calling your assistant a pear will lead to an intentional work disaster at a crucial deadline moment and intense hatred for all time. You might gently say that you're sure she didn't mean to do this at the office, but her shirt is exposing her belly.
