Individual Chic: Conference Report

09 October 2007

Conference Report

As I mentioned last week, I headed off to the WMWare conference* for work on Thursday. I’d amazing how many of the male presenters** had their pants too short. As they’re walking around on stage, you can hardly miss their socks flashing as they walk. I’m also amazed at how many guys had their ties too long as well, hitting a good five centimetres below their belt buckles. I’ve talked about this before, but I’ll say it again: get your details right, it’s important.

* OK, it was a bunch of IT guys being presented to, and maybe thry didn’t notice the whole short pant thing. I was one of about 20 women out of 2000 attendees. Yep, I was the 1% minority.

** The one woman presenter was perfectly dressed, in a very smart (but plain) grey suit and back shirt.

I love your blog. I love your black and orange colors, like Halloween.

I was wondering if you thought I was too young to model. I would appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks!

Wow Maddi, I've heard your story and funnily enough I'd been thinking about doing a post on it. I'll get onto writing it as a reply to your comment. Thanks for visiting by the way.

same with women too! Too short pants on women - drives me mad..

You can get it alllll right but if you miss a detail you're sunk!

You're right FabBroke, I just see it less on women. Paired with heels or hallet flats it's not as great a sin. My beef with women are the ones who have their sleaves too long on their jackets...
