Help! I am more of a “chapstick” lesbian and need to find black tie attire for a wedding. I haven’t worn a dress in over 10 years and definitely no to a suit. Any suggestions on what to wear?

A simple white gown never goes out of style

funnylike

The longer the dress, the more formal it is. Solid color in a silk or satin will also be more formal than a pattern. Stay away from cotton for this. Keep it simple - find something that flatters you and you feel comfortable in.

Yessss

If it’s not your wedding DONT WEAR WHITE, black is always a simple go to, think a mid to long length black gown. Or if jewels tones are attractive on you burgundy and or a royal blue could be ::chefs kiss::

Well,what did you find to wear?

I second this!

Monday Morning rumination: unsolicited advise is criticism.

Much to reflect on with this topic. Last week I was told in a 1:1 with a new contact that I was “too direct”. After some time chewing on the conversation I was struggling to place the emotions I was feeling. Turns out I was feeling guilty and shame for being me, for taking up space. Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??

Let’s talk about wrongful termination. The other day I was fired in the middle of the day without any warning. My colleagues called me because they were confused on why the Talent Manager dismissed me from the chat. I didn’t know what they were referring to. So I called my PM to ask what was happening, and she said that she just got off the phone with the TM and said they were terminating my contract on the spot due to me speaking up about micromanaging. No explanation just kicked out. Advice?
