I was at David Yurman yesterday to get my jewelry cleaned and a woman bought 4 pearl bracelets for her bridesmaids. Meanwhile here I am just praying that I don’t have to wear ugly matching dresses 😂

I’ve been a bridesmaid 6 times and spent $1000 -$2500 on bridesmaid duties each time, and no bride has ever gotten me a Yurman bracelet 😭

I love it 😂 I’m not engaged yet either, but I think the best gift I could give my bridesmaids would be not making them wear pastels. And maybe some nice jewelry too!

She sounds like a dope bride. I got a cheap ass compact that broke asap 😂and she didnt even want to give us that. Or send out thank you cards to her guests. Oof.

Hi ladies! An old chestnut but would still love to hear your advice: i am fairly certain a key senior stakeholder is being difficult because he perceives me as a senior non white woman trying to boss him around. I have heard that he doesn’t like to surround himself with people cleverer than him in fear of them taking over his job, which to me further confirms this is a possibility. What can/should I do? TIA!

I’m not sure if this happens to you, I’m constantly intimidated and feel judged by white men and women and/or people born in the US for having a strong foreign accent in the US. Nobody says that to my face, but I can see it in people’s actions. This has severely affected my confidence and I focus more on the way I pronounce some words rather than the content. How do I battle this situation? Would definitely like both perspectives.
