Dressing for internship when its really hot outside?
Its the last day of my internship, not really even a last day, Im just going in to present my project and fill out papers needed for passing the internship.
It is a tech company, so everything is relaxed and people usually wear jeans and tshirts. The thing is, its really really hot outside today, and I dont have a car, I travel by bus.
Do you think it would be acceptable to wear a short skirt? Its a really nice skirt, and i have a nice black shirt to wear with it, however I'm nervous about wearing a skirt that is *too* short. I dont want to come off as unprofessional, however at the same time I think I'd die if I had to wear pants today.
PS. I have only mini skirts and mini dresses. I have nice legs so I usually dont bother with buying midi skirts. So I can't just wear a longer skirt cuz I dont have one :(

Weather has no effect on what you wear to a job unless you are working outside. Doesn't matter if you ride a bus or walk, that doesn't mean you can dress casually. However, a short skirt is perfectly fine. Even if it's above mid thigh. But here's the problem. You cannot wear a short skirt to work with bare legs. Pantyhose would be required or else it is not appropriate so it may not be a good option for you because pantyhose are hot. Just wear dress pants. It won't kill you. There are people who work everyday in an office and they have to wear dress pants, blouse, blazer, hose and heels. It's just a reality. You aren't working outside so you need to dress properly. I'm in Texas so I know about heat but that doesn't mean I get to wear casual cool clothes to my work. In fact, I have to wear a pant suit, pantyhose and high heels but I'm working in the A/C so it's okay.

Borrow a longer skirt or wear pants. Looking professional always comes before comfort, even on the last day of an assignment!! : }
