Dearest fishies,

I’m flying into NYC tomorrow for work. It’s supposed to be 90 and rainy, so kill me now. What should I wear? What kind of footwear?! I work in advertising so it doesn’t need to be formal, but professional/casual. I’m late 30s.

Signed,
Confused fashionista

P.S. send thoughts and prayers to my hair

Summer clothes but dark colors in case you get rained on. I wore a black top and black dresses a few weeks ago when I knew it was going to rain. Flats or ankle boots. Also pretty common to wear neutral tone sneakers in NYC in more casual corporate offices

If you can get away with wearing a sneaker or ankle rain boot , wear that. Otherwise a substantial loafer works too.

I wear black hokas with a sleeveless jumpsuit that runs long so it’s covers them lol and then I’d add a layer on top of your choice for inside

Flowy loose pant with dressy white T or sleeveless shell. Bring a light weight sweater or blazer for office (a/c is cold here. Sneaker or flat

I think it’s too late now but what did you end up in

I go with a black linen dress and sandals usually in NYC HOT summers

I did do a black linen dress actually lol! With pointed toe slides.

I moved out of the city a few years ago after being there for about 10 years, and couldn’t for the life of me remember how to dress for hot rain. Luckily it didn’t rain, but it was hot AF.

Starting a new job next month, and considering taking two days off for kids’ spring break next month. Not sure whether it’s appropriate to request time off for a new job (I would’ve preferred not to take any time off for first three months). I may just be able to just ask for a single Friday off (so 1 day rather than 2 days).

Any thoughts on whether I should proceed with the request? I just came from big law and want to make sure I’m not making a bad impression on my colleagues.
