Next Friday I am going to go into a room with a copy of my thesis and let two professors tear it apart while I gibber and shake. And then hopefully they're going to tell me I have not totally failed my PhD.
Customarily I believe people wear suits to do this. Or at least something very smart.
I hate trouser suits. I look an idiot in trousers.
I would love to find something that looked a bit 1940s/vintagy - something I would actually want to wear, as opposed to 'corporate uniform' style. Like, if Vivienne Westwood made skirt suits. Which she doesn't, AFAIK. It's allowed to be a bit quirky. At this stage, desperation and the large credit card I've just been sent mean you could probably push my budget quite a long way if you show me the pretties.
I am 5'4ish, size 12/14 with about D/DD bust and a bit of tummy. Dark hair and eyes.
Any help? I am counting on your awesome wisdom.
