[QUOTE="average_jo123, post: 111147, member: 15838"] I just had two more questions that I would like to get everybody's thoughts on: [B]1. Bare legs[/B] When I volunteer in court I usually see barristers wearing tights if the skirt they're wearing is above the knee. If I wear a dress that's slightly below the knee, would I still need to wear tights so as to not show bare legs? [B]2. Makeup[/B] I have no experience with makeup at all. The only time I put on makeup is when I need to go to balls/slightly fancier evening events and even then I'd just ask friends to help me with makeup because I never felt the need to invest in makeup products myself and start learning how to do it. But with this vac scheme coming up and eventually having to go into a corporate job post-graduation, I was wondering if it's time to at least learn how to do basic makeup. I usually feel much more comfortable without any makeup on. But I went to an in-person insight day at a law firm once and felt slightly out of place because almost everyone else had makeup on. Nobody commented on/was mean about it but I was just self-aware and felt like a child lol. And I think I'll feel the same way on the vac scheme. I know that nobody working at a law firm will ever wear super bold/thick/loud makeup - tends to be simpler, muted tones. But is it unprofessional to turn up to work without any makeup on? [/QUOTE]
