I want to invest in a pair of luxury shoes to wear to work (and in general)

I was thinking Louboutins but I think they’d be too flashy for work. Maybe Prada or Jimmy Choo or Manolos? Looking for an understated black pump or flat that’s not super obvious it’s high end but people with a discerning eye can tell.

Any advice would be appreciated!

I vote Aquazzura.
They’re super comfortable and have different heel height options.
More understated than Louboutin, but imo more chic and work appropriate

I have a pair of Chloe flats (the scalloped ballet flats) that I wear multiple times a week, and a patent pair of Ferragamos that I break out when I feel fancy.

I’ve been in a luxury sales industry for a while. I started Bloomingdale’s in the women’s handmade and shoe department was eventually working for Caroline Herrera , Nordstrom and then back to Bloomingdale’s As an one of bloomies location what they called “elevated personal stylist” shoes are my bread and butter and first love. This may not seem like a typical luxury recommendation, but my suggestion is to go with Aquatalia. They are simply divine. They’re made in Italy. They were started by a group of people that used to work for Ferragamo, etc. they are completely waterproof weatherproof they make pumps they make sandals they make great boots. They’ll keep your feet warmer than a pair of sorels . Essentially, they were designed to be worn to work in the snow, the sleet and not have to have you change your shoes. My recommendation would be look into them. Their prices range from $400-700 but it’s a shoe that’ll last lifetime and every season.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated.

Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

In our 121 last we had a good discussion on creating a personal development plan, with the idea being I’d write down clear goals & action points to get from my current level to the next, and I’d provide weekly evidence of it. I prepped the doc accordingly, but instead of wanting to discuss it, he said I have 4 weeks to “turn things around” - without giving any new info on what I’ve done wrong - esp given I wrote my goals based on this same feedback from last week??

Hi folks, my base location as per EY GDS offer letter is Noida but I want it to be Gurgaon as my hometown is in Jaipur and Gurgaon is more convenient for me.. I sent email to my senior manager and got response that you can use flexibility and work in any Gds office in India. However, I feel that in case my base location is not being changed, I should shift to Noida rather than Gurgaon as there might be any formalities or facilities which we need to avail in our base location only.. Any thoughts?
