Do you think that it's reasonable that I tried to look professional by putting on my best skirt and top?
I think so. Do you usually put on your best clothes when you want to look more professional?
Yeah, whenever I meet new people in a professional context I want to look my best.
When you want to look professional, it is definitely a good idea to be mindful of your appearance. You can only make a first impression once and dressing smart when meeting new people will cause them to think favorably of you.
That's what I think, too. First impressions are important.
True, and first impressions are especially important when talking about business matters. Looking your best lets them know that you want your professional relationship to go well.
