Today, I aspire to a job in an environment in which a comment on my attire is not the standard way to open a conversation.
The first conversation I had this morning went like this:
Me: "Good morning, [Professor X]."
Prof X, disapproving: "Hello, Lauren. You look very school-marm-ish today."
Me, cheerfully: "Oh! In a good way, I hope!"
Prof X, doubtfully: "Well I don't know... I'm really not sure about those shoes."
For Pete's sake.
L, I really think you should delicately point out how inappropriate it is for a professor to comment on your physical appearance. They'll never learn if they aren't made aware of just how inappropriate it is.
