I also have a hard time deciding how much I should embrace my inner Elle Woods and stand up against the "norms" of acadamia and professionalism (aka embracing femininity) and how much I should conform to more traditional polished looks. It's a tough call!Fairy Princess Jordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463494133725810723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369547557247475858.post-66758484312203151502015-04-06T18:00:26.949-04:002015-04-06T18:00:26.949-04:00Great picks.

It's definitely a struggle but you found a great balance for your conferences!<br />-Alex<br />www.monstermisa.blogspot.comAlexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00510539412421425264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369547557247475858.post-89735913984877609532015-04-06T13:35:59.866-04:002015-04-06T13:35:59.866-04:00Great tips.

I teach kindergarten so I always need professional looking clothes that I can move easily in and that wash-up really well! Sometimes it's a challenge, but I often get compliments on my outfits, so I must be doing something right! <br />www.queenbcreativeme.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00214669651632289883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369547557247475858.post-68486174001787229072015-04-06T11:40:16.592-04:002015-04-06T11:40:16.592-04:00Love these outfits!

I sometimes struggle with conferences and other speaking engagements - some people in our field dress very casually, and some very, almost too, professional. I have the added problem of being very petite at 5'3" and looking like I dressed in my mom's clothes when I wear suits. I've found a shift dress with a fitted blazer is my go-to, with lots of fun accessories like shoes and bag. Thanks for writing on this important (and confusing!) topic!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06054086399645454642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369547557247475858.post-55775390058335608202015-04-06T11:31:19.706-04:002015-04-06T11:31:19.706-04:00A great topic to hit on!

I agree, too, that it is ridiculous how women's outfits (or hair and makeup) can be a part of others' judgement of their professionalism.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13496917295822571538noreply@blogger.com
