I was going to wear midi dress to a work holiday party that has a slight cut out in the back . The front is very conservative and it goes below my knees but is the back cut out appropriate?
Also technically it’s not my work-holiday party, I’m going as someone else’s +1

I think it’s totally fine, but I’d check with your date given it’s less about you representing yourself and more about the way they are represented at their company by inviting you as a guest

If the front is conservative, I’m (personally) not worried about it.

I think it’s great

Thank you! And what a steal. So chic!

It looks great. If you want to feel more comfortable, just wear the hair down so it shows a little less back. Only if it makes you feel better!

You should wear this! It is beautiful. If the front is conservative and the back was ALSO conservative, that would be boring. I don’t think this is too much.

Given the conservative neckline and length, I think this is fine!

How low cut is the front?

Not low cut at all! It’s a square neck

Looks fine to me

I personally don’t think it’s appropriate for a work holiday party but your date would know best!

I have been at my company for a little less than 4 years now. I’ve had the third highest sales last year out of a team of 50 and consistently the highest outbound calls per week. They told me I can start WFH once I hit $1mil in profit, but then rescinded right before I hit the goal. They have also denied simpler request like time off, when I know they have approved this before for others. I feel super unappreciated, but the money is great. I’m not sure if I should look elsewhere and start over?

Tell me if this is selfish or not. I adore my family, but since they're doing a very lowkey Christmas situation this year, I really would rather take a weeks vacation on my own. Obviously the holidays are about spending time with those you love, but I'm tired! And I see my entire family at least once a month for a group dinner. Am I a bad daughter/sister if I choose vacation this one time?
