Honestly, I work in fashion/merchandising and the truth is that fashion isn't changing much. Your stuff from three years ago might feel dated to you because it reminds you of your past self, but it likely fits right in. We call this The Office effect. Look at the clothes in that series, and they feel right at home today, but The Office went off air a decade ago. But look at clothes from shows that ended before The Office began and their clothes feel very out of date. My suggestion is, if you want to make changes to feel a little more modern, keep the foundational pieces and accessorize.

I just wear company labeled clothes and jeans. Or dress pants and slip on shoes. My clients will wear basically workout clothes or just crawled out of bed clothes. Professional outfits seem to have gone the way of the dodo

So embarrassed. I literally had one job to do today which was to schedule a client and give and take her paperwork when she came in. Totally called her by the wrong name today AND gave her the wrong paperwork. She was really nice about it but I feel like my boss was disappointed and I'm disappointed in myself. I don't want her to think I won't be able to keep clients straight when I start doing supervised sessions.

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.
