What's your default work look?

I realized yesterday mine was camisole/tanktop under partially-buttoned button-down, dark jeans with low heels or cropped pants with flats.

Boring, but functional.

Generic PhD gear: Button down shirt, jeans and Doc Martens in the winter/linen trousers and converse lo-tops in the summer (currently on the cusp of this transition), shirt tucked in if I happen to be able to find the belt that goes with it on that day. Linen jacket if I'm teaching.

What's your default work look?

Squinting in an uncomprehending manner it seems.

Our company got bought so until the official deal is done date they dont care anymore. so for me its boots, jeans, tank top and something over the top of the tank top. before that it was invariably business casual type top (kind dependant on weather), a-line skirt, tights, mary-janes.

disheveled

Skirts, patent leather shoes of one kind or another, mostly knit tops as opposed to woven ones since I sit at a desk all day and stretch is my friend. In summer, a rotating supply of sleeveless summer dresses with belts and cropped cotton jackets. Primary colors, esp red, white, & blue/black. Never brown.

Basically kind of yacht-clubby, garden-party-ish, and hateable. It's all a lie, but one that amuses me. No idea what to do about fall.

I've come to love brown as a black-replacing neutral. As I get older black just looks to harsh on me. I've lightened my hair because of this as well.

I'd really like to wear sleeveless dresses in the summer but youthful tattoos make me hesitant. Again, age thing.

I used to know a children's book editor who had the silhouette of Nancy Drew w/ magnifying glass tattooed on her arm. I think she bared it proudly, but then, it's fairly innocuous.

We're a scruffy bunch so it tends to be just jeans t-shirt and cardigan. Depending on client I go for a jacket/sportscoat on a client site but I'm reluctant to give up on the jeans because you never know when you are going to have to get behind a dusty rack in this job.

for fall it seems to be rotating cardigan, blouse or sweater, black or grey skirt, tights, and my chie mihara patent flat tstraps

today:
dark grey cardigan
green silk top
grey tweed mini skirt
dark grey tights
above mentioned shoes

i bought the exact same cardigan in 3 different colors a couple weeks ago

this summer has been:
dress with bright tights (if dress is black) or black tights (if dress is bright)
tunic-y things with leggings
capris with some kind of top (not very descriptive, sorry)

i do that with a-line skirts (xp to bell)

how do I get grady's job?

(serious answer = apply for this, which I am actually doing: http://members.aas.org/JobReg/JobDetailPage.cfm?JobID=24908)

I look forward to wearing tights. I'll probably do more skirts and dresses layered with tops then.

I just have to walk so much and it's usually so hot I get lazy.

the tat on my arm I usually cover is big and though it is very pretty (I always get compliments) I just don't feel comfortable sporting it around directors in their 50s. The little one above it is a stupid chinese symbol I got when I was 21. It's the only tattoo I regret as it's as dumb as barbed wire armband.

do you think that job description says gemini enough?

I think they hate Zipf's Law

boxers, t-shirt (sometimes)

caek you should ask max about living in Hilo. its totally country over there.

jeans, maybe dickies, solid color button down shirts with sleeves rolled up, any kind of shoes I desire, arm tattoos visible. My boss often wears suits, bow ties, and a fedora. Nobody cares either way, it's academia.

"Totally country" = remote countryside? I will live wherever they pay me to. You have no choice in astrophysics. I mean, I'm also looking at jobs in Sioux Falls, Little Rock and Spokane so Hilo is far from the worst of the bunch on paper.

LITTLE ROCK ROCKS

Hot weather: dress, particularly shirtdress or anything with a tied waist and full-ish skirt. Flip flops to commute, then swapped for some sort of heel.

Cool weather: Pantsuit worn with a silkscreened AA t-shirt of the variety you'd find in the back of Bust magazine from some indy "designer." Pumas to commute, swapped for some sort of heel.

I'm not so good with the accessories. Basically I wear a watch, wedding rings, and the same pair of silver hoop earrings every day.

trousers + cotton/silk blouse, in some combination of navy + black, silver necklace (very simple), couple chunky geometric silver rings, giant scarf, jacket or cardigan in a neutral color because the office is kind of cold. some days might wear a top or cardigan in a very bright primary color for a change.

today -> black top (80s vintage), dark blue-grey trousers, black oxfords (90s vintage), silver necklace, grey asymmetrical cardigan (junya watanabe)

i dress up more than approx 95% of my office, could just wear jeans & tshirts every day if i felt like it.

me, too. it's stupid, but i actually feel when i get dressed up in the morning.

black suit. white shirt (i guess what americans would call "button-down" and i just call a shirt: ie cotton thing, buttons down the front, collar, cuffs), collar unbuttoned, no tie. sometimes blue or silver cufflinks. black socks. black boots.
