Help! I’m headed to a conference and there’s a meeting we are going to where my boss said women usually wear knee length skirt suits (i asked him)

I don’t think I’ve worn one in 20 years. Where do you shop for such? I usually shop for business clothes at places like Banana Republic and J.Crew, but they don’t have any skirts like that. I found one at Dillards that’s OK, but it just feels dorky. What’s “in style”? I know I sound old, but do I have to wear hose or tights?

I always wear hose because I am really pale and like to look a little tanner haha. Have you tried Express? They usually have things like that.

If you are between sizes 0-12 in women’s/misses, they usually have a decent arrangement. Plus sizes… it’s usually sparse in store but online is pretty good.

Do you feel like you have to dress like this? Just because a lot of women go to these meetings dress that wag doesn’t mean you should feel obligated to. You’re still a professional woman who should be allowed to wear a pant suit if that’s what you’re comfortable in. If your boss likes skirts so much he can wear one.

I asked him for suggestions. He would never, ever tell me what I had to wear and would be the first to say to do what I want. I’m new to this part of the business and want to make a good impression. So, no I don’t feel forced to wear anything. I could probably go in jeans, and he’d support my decision.

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film. I got a dream opportunity to work in the field making about the same or 10% more. I told myself the only reason I'd leave this company is for this type of job. Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?
