Ladies, where are you getting nice outfits for getting back out either in the office or socializing?

I’ve searched other bowls and found a lot of the same brands being listed (e.g. Aritzia, Everlane, Uniqlo) but a lot of those color palettes are so muted they do nothing for my melanin 😒 I love neutrals as much as the next gal but some of these places just be giving overpriced blandness.

I recently took up a Customer Success Manger role at a engineering software company. Previously I was a Project Manager at the same company but wanted to move out of my engineering services role. I primarily took this role hoping to get exposure to providing SaaS services as company is transitioning at software cloud. My long term goal is to move into tech as my current customers are mostly in O&G. Is customer success a good entry point go get into one for the big tech companies?

Anyone notice a sudden increase in agencies / recruiters reaching out after the current events? Clearly it's more beneficial now than ever to secure black talent...
