It's been almost a month, but we finally have some action on my job offer - the background check was submitted yesterday, so the formal offer should happen next week (she said hopefully).

It's been 10 years since I last worked in an office, and that was in a different place, and I was (obviously) 10-15 years younger. I'm now 47, the office seems relatively casual (it's a university department, but a publishing house, not an academic department), and I will be working as a curriculum developer for said publishing house.

What I would like feed back on: are these outfits too casual for me now? I wore all these as a PhD candidate and felt absolutely fine in them; indeed I was often over-dressed - but now I need some outside feedback on if they are appropriate for my new situation. I don't want to be taken for a graduate student or an intern (I'm often taken for much younger than I am). If you could say why x outfit is not appropriate, that would help too (i.e. "would be OK with different shoes," or "grey jeans just not office appropriate," etc.).

1 - black jeggings tucked knee high boots - is this appropriate for an actual adult professional, or should I leave it for weekends?

2 - black jeans for warm weather - I know the proportions of the skinny jeans and my top-heavy-ness is not the best, but otherwise, do these seem office appropriate?

3-4 black jeans for cooler weather - again, too young/casual, or OK?

5-6 these outfits are based around a pair blue floral print pants (I know the second set looks like black, but it's just poor lighting). Floral pants are an OK office item? These are pretty muted.

7 Grey jeans - I think I actually purged this pair, because they gave me elephant knees, but I've been looking to replace them - are grey jeans going to be OK for office wear?

8 - 9 Red and olive twill trousers - my impression is that these outfits would be fine. Do you concur?

Thanks for your help and feedback, I really appreciate it!
