And you picked a fabulous first pair! <br /><br />It's really interesting reading about your personal struggles with this decision. From my own experience, I have never had a problem wearing trousers -- and I guess I never questioned NOT wearing trousers or jeans growing up. And I actually tend to feel more modest wearing trousers. I have longer legs and wearing trousers means I don't have to think about showing too much leg (my skirts are almost always knee-length or longer, but skirts still ride up a bit when one is sitting) or hemlines or wearing slips, etc. So, perhaps conversely, I always feel MORE professional when wearing trousers -- like my legs and bottom become a non-issue in trousers so people will focus on what I'm saying (rather than focusing on me) and take me more seriously as a professional. So when I feel I need a boost in that regard, like when I have a big, important campus meeting, I almost always wear trousers. <br /><br />So interesting to think about this and read different perspectives and experiences! :)<br /><br />Jen @ Librarian for Life & StyleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
