I know what you mean here. At my work people tower over me... and the guys are snappy dressers all, however, they all manage to get by wearing ball caps and t-shirts once in a while (how often this is acceptable has never really been specified) and I never feel ok doing that. I feel it is very hard for me to be as professional as I can be lest I be taken non-seriously. The fact that most of my really warm sweaters have hoods (sometimes fake fur tipped ones) does not help my case....
You might want to look into clothing lines that make fabrics that are meant to get dirty. I know LLBean makes some wrinkle and stain resistant shirts. With a pair of nice danskos you might be more comfy and more work saavy... this is assuming you don't already dress that way of course, since I have never seen you at work.
