this is both cute and informational.
although i look fucking great in the first picture i would be barred from entering any chemistry lab in such a state: my shirt is unbuttoned, my hair could potentially obscure my vision or catch fire or take a dip in something unpleasant, safety goggles/glasses go over your eyes, not on top of your head, and if you could see my arms you would notice my shirtsleeves rolled up to my elbows. a cute post-lab look though, and check out that lipstick! science babe alert.
in the second picture i'm serving total goddamn nerd vibes which is exactly the look you’re going for when it comes to lab safety! my goggles are doing a great job protecting my eyes, my shirt is doing a great job protecting my body (including my arms), and my hair is safely pulled back in a ponytail! i look fucking goofy but i will probably not be blinded or suffer severe chemical burns today in the lab!
in both pictures i am wearing long pants and shoes that cover my whole foot but stop below my ankle: my lower half is ready for lab.
note: i don’t wear lipstick in the lab but you could if you were looking to impress your favorite sexy scientist or just look really cute. i also don’t wear goggles in the lab because they get really foggy at the first click of a spark lighter so safety glasses are more practical. but goggles make me look really sciencey!
