I'm trying to pare down my work wardrobe. I'm usually in the office 3 days a week, smart casual to business casual with the need to wear a suit maybe twice a year. I need to be on camera on days I'm not in the office. What do you think is a reasonable number of bottoms, tops, and third pieces do you think I should have? I'm not trying to be super minimalist. I do better when I have some rules of thumb to guide me.

One full suit (recommend a a second less nice option in stretch fabric if size fluctuates), 2-3 pairs of washable slacks, 3 work dresses (or additional 2 pairs of slacks), a pair of dark wash jeans, 3 long sleeve blouses, 5 summer blouses, a couple of blazers to mix and match with slacks/dresses (I recommend one tan one navy/olive). 4 sweaters/cardigans/knit tops and 1-2 elastic waist pants(WFH but the tops can also work in office). - a capsule wardrobe uniform dresser who gets dressed at the gym or wants to limit decision making in the morning

It happened again today. I was walking from my car into a building and remembered I had forgotten to lock my car. I had the urge to turn around but I remembered that the only valuable thing in my car was my work laptop. And I would cry tears of joy if someone broke into my car and stole my work laptop. Can anyone relate to this feeling?

Hi y'all! How flexible is your remote workplace is when it comes to where you live and how frequently you move? Do they expect you to stay in your city/province/state, or do they allow you to go full digital nomad? Do you wish your employer's policy would change?
