    Thanks for the info!
    A question before going shopping though.

    My work (a chemistry lab) just implemented a new safety dresscode which has made it extremely hard for a petite girl to look feminine or not ridiculously proportioned. We are not allowed to wear any length skirts or dresses, shoes which show any foot (no flats), shoes with heel heights over 1″, 3/4 sleeves, and no tights, cropped pants or leggings.

    I’m finding it incredibly difficult to not look 1) like a man 2) the same everyday with such strict rules. Got any advice?

      Hmm…I know all about lab safety dress codes, and you have a pretty strict one. At least you don’t have to wear only steel toe boots like some people I’ve talked to! For shoes, it sounds like you’re going to need a fun pair of sneakers. My go-to lab shoe when worked in biotech were old-school style Puma suede sneakers. I had them in black/white and red/white, which were a little more stylish than the trainers most people wore (http://rstyle.me/n/f7k4cz5). How do you feel about lace up oxfords? That’s probably what I’d do for switching up some fun sneakers, and there’s plenty of affordable options because as I recall, chemicals can wreck havoc on your shoes in the lab. A less structured/reinforced version is more feminine. For pants, are skinny jeans ok? As long as they touch the top of your shoe? Or are you stuck with bootcuts? When I worked in a lab, my uniform was bootcut jeans (I didn’t wear skinny jeans much back then in general), a detailed/colorful/or otherwise cute shell/t-shirt, a cardigan, and some type of flat shoe. I added necklaces, brooches, and earrings to jazz things up.
