Do you feel pressure to always look “good” for conferences (makeup, hair, clothes, etc)?

Same 🫠

I don't feel pressure but I always want to look my best in meetings, in the office, even out of office, just in case I have to quick video with someone. Always the consummate professional. You?

I tend to do full makeup / hair (straighten or blown out) for the office and conferences. Even when I’m out, I’ll do basic mascara and tinted moisturizer in case I run into someone I know.

I’ve stopped wearing makeup for days where I’m fully remote unless I’m presenting (and even then that’s more for me…)

I’ve realized I wear the same 3 sweaters, 2 shirts and 2 dresses when I’m on video calls. Should probably work on that 🫠

It’s not pressure it is making sure I always look my best. I dress for the job I want always.

When I’m remote, I’m a bit more casual. Sweaters / comfy work shirts / oversized button downs. When I’m in the office, I’ll do rent the runway (only in once a quarter) or wear a basic black blazer/slacks/ polyester shirt. I used to wear sheaths but as I’ve gotten older, not sure they’re good for me anymore

Some times yes. Depends on how casual the event is.

Help- my SIL showed me two dresses she rented for my shower, and I think they are super bridal/not very appropriate to wear as a guest or bridesmaid. I have asked others and they agree. I feel like my own outfit, a simple jumpsuit, pales in comparison to how over the top these dresses are. What can I say or do? I feel really down but also don’t want to start WW3 by saying something to her. I feel like I now need to rush to buy a new outfit.

I have a direct report who is smart, passionate about her job and can be really innovative. However she carries this enormous weight of responsibility, for needing to do everything, do it right, make sure it's perfect, not trusting colleagues to help. It creates dread and panic and overwhelming workload and a terrible attitude for her and I am speaking with her this week to start to shift her mindset. Any tips in navigating how to let go of this heavy idea of "responsibility"?

I'm the only associate on a case with two partners. The elderly, managing partner thinks that a party has had three prior wrecks, I'm confident that the party only had one. He keeps telling witnesses/experts about his multiple prior wrecks, and I keep correcting him afterwards in private, but he keeps making the same mistake.

How should I handle this?

So embarrassed. I literally had one job to do today which was to schedule a client and give and take her paperwork when she came in. Totally called her by the wrong name today AND gave her the wrong paperwork. She was really nice about it but I feel like my boss was disappointed and I'm disappointed in myself. I don't want her to think I won't be able to keep clients straight when I start doing supervised sessions.

So, some of my co-workers simply said that they want to go ahead and start something or start looking elsewhere (career change) because they don't know how much it will last at the pace we are going in regards to case intake and pay out. Should I start panicking or simply start looking elsewhere? They even they even told me if I was looking elsewhere or planned on doing so also. I found it weird in a way.
