White House Black Market made it easier to find business casual / dressier business casual clothes. For shoes I usually wear a solid color pair of Tieks or closed toe ankle-high booties with a 2-3 inch heel.

I like Rothy’s shoes. Then just anything with a smart blazer. Jeans with a cute silk top work great.

Probably a business/casual dress with cardigan/blazer and kitten heels.

Would suggest that unless you’re certain of the vibe to not do jeans or open toed shoes. A casual or fun skirt/dress feels safer to me than jeans unless you’re confident others are also wearing jeans (only because a dress/skirt can go with both jeans vibe and slacks/business casual vibe whereas jeans are super noticeable when no one else is wearing them. Just my preference though!

Agree! Thank you

Anything that is business casual. Could be dark wash denim, a blazer and a simple top or a dress and a blazer with some low heels

Given where you work and the fact that it involves clients, I would not wear denim. What are your colleagues wearing? Business casual is fine but lean a bit more heavily on the “business” side.

I'd do nice casual. Clean, dark wash pair of skinny jeans with flats, a blazer/cardigan and blouse.

Nordstrom provides free styling services. Banana Republic another good head to toe option.

I use Stitch Fix freestyle. They’ll put together an outfit idea for you and if you hate the skirt or the pants or the shoes, you can click on the top or dress and get other options

Depends on the client - you want to match the formality of their company. So if they are a jeans and blazer, go for that, if they are suits (which is very much still a thing for some companies, particularly if dealing with exec suite), then you will want to do a business style tailored dress or suit. I often shop BlueFly for discount designer brands. Ann Taylor has options too for this purpose.

Hi community, humbly seeking professional HR advice. I recently joined my company’s HR team. In an informal conversation, a senior HRBP, considered a peer, called 2 of our fellow HR colleagues “worthless.” I should have rebuked her then & there but was so caught off guard. This person is 20 years my senior. In the same conversation this person advocated for me on a separate matter & complimented my performance. I am not sure what course of action to take at this time. Distraught & unsure.

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?
