Need some first day advice

I start my new job on Monday. I am so worried and nervous to begin with and I hear it is going to be 99 degrees!

It is not an office where I need to wear a suit but being it was my first day i wanted to make a good impression...so i was planning on wearing blank pants, white dress shirt (short sleeves) and peep toe pumps...but with 99 degrees weather i was thinking i should wear a black suit skirt, pumps, and the same short sleeve white shirt...is it a bad idea to wear a suit skirt on the first day? I mainly have orierntation all morning and then work the afternoon..should i suck it up and wear thepants since i will mainly be outside to and from work? i sure hope my new office has ac lol

This weather is stressing me out, I already know more hair on the first day is going to look insane...guidance please :)

Re: Need some first day advice

i work for a very conservative company so we have to wear suits everyday. Personally, I believe that a skirt makes just as good of an impression (if not better) than pants. That's as long as the skirt comes to the knee and it fits the way it is supposed to. Do you have a sense as to whether or not they are traditional conservative?

I do not think the office is trad. conservative... my interview was on a friday and everyone was in jeans that particular day so it was kind of hard to gage how pple dress day to day.
