I want to look polished, chic, professional, and, let's be honest, slightly hot. Cause it never hurts. Oh, and whatever I wear needs to look good but not draw attention away from the work I'll be presenting. Please evaluate:
I know the black blouse needs a cami, don't worry! I was just too lazy to put one on right then. Also, here are front & back of the last option:
i love #3, but i think the last one looks the most professional with a touch of hipness. i kind of find the button down on #4 too businessy for a creative field.
I like #4 and #5 as they have a more polished professional look. The first three are great outfits but not for a situation where you want to project a professional and in control presence.
I think you should wear the last one, because it is professional but still creative. I do like four a lot but perhaps it doesn't show quite as much creativity. And I love three, just not for your thesis presentation!
I'm also a fan of number 4. The color and shape look great on you and I think it's the most "professional" of all of them. I might add a big funky bracelet if you wanted to add a touch of creativity to the outfit. I don't know why I can't copy and paste pictures on this computer, but I'm thinking something along the lines of one of these or maybe a big funky ring:
