Going to be in Paris in July. What can I wear so that I don’t look like a tourist, but also don’t get super sweaty? Coming from Midwest US.

Linen pants and a clean pastel t shirt, never shorts. Leather sandals or espadrilles

Don’t buy into the propaganda that you “shouldn’t look like a tourist.” Paris is FILLED with tourists, no one will be bothered that you are a tourist. I was there 3 years ago in July and it was very pleasant weather-wise, though I was coming from the desert. I wore lightweight shorts and tank tops and sundresses. You’ll be doing a ton of walking so definitely make sure you have comfortable walking shoes. Have a great time!

M/F? Paris is hot in July and a/c is not universal. You will get sweaty regardless of what you wear.

If you’re a woman, a shirt dress and ballet flats. Natural makeup.

I would recommend slim fit chinos, linen pants, and tailored t-shirts/polos and Oxford or linen shirts. Don't wear the linen on linen, though - too beach.

Bring comfortable loafers and cool sneakers, as well as a light jacket.

They’re going to know that you’re a tourist regardless as there are many subtle (and not so subtle) hints that have nothing to do with what you wear. Don’t go crazy, but know that shorts and sweats are not common, so maybe just stay away from those. FYI this is the advice that my sister in law who has lived in Paris for years gives everyone.

Looking for advice on career change. I’m a 45 year old single mom - I’ve been at my job for 18 years. I know I could be doing more. The job isn’t fulfilling and the workplace is rather toxic. The pay is pretty good - when I look at other open positions in my field / the pay is much less or the same. Honestly just unsure of what I “want” to do. Stay where I am and get a side hustle that may be fulfilling or change careers altogether. I’m a placement coordinator at a home care agency.

Any ideas how to reward team members who put a ton of work to get a massive project done on time?
Normally I’d take them to dinner and drinks, but that’s not really possible now, and apparently gift cards are taxable and agency doesn’t want to do it. How do you celebrate project launches during the end times?

And before someone suggests raises, yeah I’d love to, but obviously not my call.
