Really having trouble finding the right outfits for myself. I hate when I feel underconfident because I'm not as well dressed as others. What does your wardrobe usually comprise? What store/brand would you start at if you were to start your wardrobe all over?

Do you know how to dress for your body type? That’s the biggest consideration when styling yourself. I’d try the stylists at Nordstrom so you can have a sense of what’s flattering on you and go from there.

This has been a struggle for me for the past couple years between budget and fluctuating weight. I feel like I’m just starting to figure it out. What has worked for me recently is building out the basics in my closet. I’m not great with styling or layering, so I keep it simple. I got about 10 Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger pencil and sheath dresses with sleeves relatively inexpensively. I wear those as a standalone outfit without blazers and pair them with an interesting shoe and a watch. I feel elevated and professional in those looks. I just recently started exploring skirts, pants and suiting because I dropped a few sizes this year, still working on figuring out what looks best on my body. I start with a really low budget to make sure certain styles look good on my body before committing to a higher price point. And I had to let go of online shopping for awhile because the model‘s body does not come with the clothes and I’ve been disappointed on more than one occasion by online retailers.

I can't thank you enough for this. God bless you!

Does anyone feel like it’s difficult to gain acceptance and find allies when you’re a POC? I have attended happy hours, social events, and lunches, but I am not getting the same amount of traction as the other new lawyers who are white. Don’t know whether I should keep trying or just give up. Also don’t know whether it’s my personality or people at the firm. 😢

What was your experience with the LSAT? Do you think it's gatekeeping, preventing students who can't afford it (often people of color) from entering the field?

Okay so I’m a newly licensed attorney in a very conservative part of TX. I just got my first job offer and I was worried at first thinking that I was in “Trump” territory, but I tested the waters in my interview and spoke about police injustices and how prosecutor’s job is not only to protect victims, but also defendants from police injustices. I have to let them know by tomorrow, but thoughts on if this is a good career move for someone who wants to work in transactional work-RE or Bankruptcy?
