In any case, I advise her to strive for a quietly—and not too obviously expensive—elegance of style. Her outfit should be dignified, chic, reasonably “with it,” but not ostentatious or attention-grabbing in any way. But not frumpy or, horrors, really mature. Her “outward” appearance should, on the contrary, represent her “inward” youthfulness of mind….
The Conclusion
Following the above communication, Ms. Mentor and “Chic in Canada” had a tête-à-tête (an international fashion summit) and reached a rapprochement on the subject of the proper attire for academic conference interviews.
They agree that understated elegance can be valuable; that miniskirts are always incorrect, because they look childish; that pants can be risky, for conservative schools; and that dressing as a Wall Street banker (gray flannel, little tie) will seem too powerful, and therefore out of place, in academia. Ms. Mentor retains some skepticism about “earthy” and “ethnic,” especially if “ethnic” means turbans and swirling fringe, but she and “Chic in Canada” agree that colorful scarves are tasteful and welcome accessories.
Ms. Mentor and “Chic in Canada” also welcome additions to their dialogue.
Squelched
Q: I've been gagged! The paper I proposed for a literary convention was accepted, and the organizers put me on a panel of four people, scheduled between 1 : 30 and 3 on the second afternoon of the conference.
