[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the academic circles of my previous life, looking polished was a sign that one wasn't passionate enough about their research, and was devoting energy to superficial unnecessary things.  Kind of like jocks versus nerds.
I have a hard time shaking those values for my government workplace presence. And honestly, I'm ok owning that.

This is me, though corporate rather than government, but in an academic-like function so it's sort of ok. But I might be moving to the kind of job where you have to be polished and I'm daunted by the expense and time involved. [/quote]

There are services that send you weekly boxes of trendy corporate wear if you don't mind the expense but value the time [/quote]

NP but my problem is less the clothing and more the maintenance.  I never got in the habit of daily makeup so doing eye liner can take me over an hour.  And the women with five minute routines would still look more polished because they’ve been practicing for 20 years.  Same with fashionable hair, remembering to pay more attention to clothes than throw them on and walk out the door, etc.[/quote]
