I've always struggled with what to wear when attending scientific interviews: you try to appear formal, so wear heels, suit trousers and jackets, and walk in to meet the lab which is dressed in sneakers, jeans and t-shirts. Makes me feel like such a fraud! Hopefully now I can find some way of dressing which makes me feel more like I belong.Laurahttp://diaryofacancercell.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2088939362225234288.post-18184762433634789132014-01-21T09:36:07.031-08:002014-01-21T09:36:07.031-08:00This is a great post!

I am taking a bit of a different strategy in that rather than learning to shop better, I am learning to sew my own clothing and make my own alterations to items I purchase or already own. Most of the points you discuss apply to sewing your wardrobe as well as shopping for it. I'm learning to be much more honest with myself about how well things fit me, and it's also a great creative outlet. I am a field biologist, so I get tired of wearing jeans and tshirts all the time, and I am sick of wearing the same outfit every time I give a presentation. At 30 minutes sessions of fitting and sewing a handful of times each week, broken up by week long field trips, this is a very slow process, but I'm having fun with it!Johanna Imhoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15256316385244570265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2088939362225234288.post-20122021126065762082013-11-03T14:55:35.113-08:002013-11-03T14:55:35.113-08:00LOVE this post, Holly!

I usually order online, but then return clothes to their stores if they don't fit. I have also had a good experience with eShakti, which makes good-quality custom dresses for a reasonable price, which is especially useful for women whose top and bottom are not, shall we say, traditionally proportionate.Miriam Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851598721198760314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2088939362225234288.post-68362572366623896362013-11-03T09:46:34.208-08:002013-11-03T09:46:34.208-08:00Thank you for your post.

Secondly, I have a lot of issues with the garment industry, and really don't want to support business practices in which I don't believe. Other than shopping at American Apparel (which has a limited selection, and its own questionable policies), what can you recommend? Rachel Gnoreply@blogger.com
