Recommendations for designer belts that look great at work without appearing gaudy?

My boss asked me to take care of some of the details of a project for her—the stuff that isn't really my area of expertise. And now I feel like a shirker because I haven't been able to finish them yet.

Do you find that most customers you deal with are polite? I've noticed a lot of them don't even say "thank you" after I have fixed their problem... it's disheartening

I have a coworker who’s a functional alcoholic. I’ve never dealt with a situation like this before so I don’t even know if it’s my place to say something

How do you all respond when someone you work with asks gives you unsolicited organization advice/ says something like “do you not keep a to do list?” Lol I keep like 5 and 95% of the time I am so on top of things it’s crazy! Have one bad day/ couple days amd boom… my SM is asking if I keep a list…

Being Desi my mom has always had opinion on what I wear and how I dress up . We are planning for baby shower and she mentioned that she has few Sarees that she shopped and would send it over. I told her that I want to choose what I like though she agreed with it I feel guilty that I am making a decision . How do I even get over this guilt of making my own choice and not listening to my parents or in laws . This goes from choosing a dress to going out for dinner 😞

I keep getting accused of being a bot in live chat. Should I approach my boss about being less scripted, or is the efficiency worth it?

I am a woman who has been working as a tech PE investor for 8 months now, and have been feeling extremely discouraged by my experiences in this sector so far. I regularly get mistaken as the “administrative assistant” in meetings and email chains, have had things said to me by men such as “the only way you work in private equity is as a receptionist”, and have even been at networking events where men have literally grabbed my ass when no one was looking. Any advice on how to handle this?

Scheduling added another S3 (my level) to my engagement but acting as a manager, while I’ve been on this engagement for a few years and getting great reviews. My ego is shot and I’m insulted. Advice?

I'm not the best at coming up with lines on the spot. I can write good lines when I'm by myself in front of my laptop, but not when I'm talking with my CD or someone else. Is this considered an issue?

How do you handle a subordinate that goes around your decision making and goes higher up in the food chain? My boss (and their boss) made it clear I’m supposed to review and provide feedback and yet now they are fully saying no and going around me. I tried talking to them and it didn’t go well and they raised their voice and got rude with me when I was only inquiring. it’s at the point where I need To have a convo with my boss and I feel like the boss needs to set the precedent here

Ok, so I messed up. I thought I had pressed hold when I turned to a coworker and said the customer was “one of the rude ones.” …turns out she wasn’t on hold, and heard me. How do I apologize to my boss?

I keep making stupid minor mistakes at work lately presumely cause I’ve been so burnt out, and my senior is constantly mad at me, which made me want to avoid the dirty work even more… I really should care but is it bad that I don’t really care anymore

How on earth are you guys getting into these AMD calls for 5/1? The theta is scaring the devil out of me. I almost went with the peer pressure yesterday and then backed out (I am bullish in AMD)

This is the only bowl I can think to post in, but I'm really feeling it today. Has anyone lost their best friend (i.e. through time/growing up) and feel like none of their current friends could live up to the fun/connection you used to have with your high school BFF? I feel like I put too much focus on that one friend and also my boyfriend and just never actually made time for anyone else. I fucked myself over.

So something crazy happened to me last week. I was at the airport, and as usual on call after call. The check in line was going ridiculously slowly and at some point turned threw my hands up in frustration while looking around to find another place to check in. In doing so, I catch the eye of the behind me. He smiles and says something. I just sort of nod and carry on with my call. After that, he keeps trying to talk to me, eventually I got to the check, say bye and leave. At security… tbc

Anyone know of a good building for a 1bed/1bath. Need to have parking & a/c. Nice to haves is in-unit laundry, any include utilities, any amenities. Trying to keep it on the cheaper end with a max rent of 1,500, but given our line of work I can bump that up if the place is nice enough to justify the cost. Thanks in advance!

Anyone else calling a Tether collapse?

I rented a house that had been vacant for a bit & the prior tenant didn’t do a thorough job cleaning up. Agent indicated the owner would be open to having the house cleaned but I would need to have the house professionally cleaned when I moved out (that was fine w me). I just received the bill from the owner for $250, which is super annoying bc there was no expectation communicated that I would foot the bill for this, more so bc the cleaner did a LOUSY job.

Need the 101 on how to work with SAs at luxury boutiques as a first-time buyer. Do you “shop around” until you find one you like? If something isn’t in stock, do they text you proactively? Would love to hear how you all developed relationships.

Cannot make up my mind on carry on - I have a tumi leather carry on.. but need a new one..

Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury. I ask because, as noted in the previous thread re: Chanel’s price increases, the quality of authentic luxury bags is going way down while the price increases consistently. Specifically Chanel and LV. I’m fascinated in the online rep community and it looks like rep quality has increased exponentially (with genuine materials and 1:1 markings, stitching, hardware, etc). What’s your argument for or against replicas?

I know this is kind of low budge for some of the bags that have been posted lately, but I’m about to pull the trigger on the Saint Laurent Quilted Vintage Leather Camera bag in cream. Just a small everyday crossbody. Any thoughts?? Would love to hear feedback. Would love something bigger than this to throw more stuff in, but am really attracted to the design.

Hi! I’m new to consulting & new to luxury fashion.

How can Prada want $1,750 for a bag that’s not even 50% leather??? Why do I want to buy one???

Happy thanksgiving! I am selling my black Chanel medium CF in caviar for $9,000. This is a savings of $526 based off NY 8% tax. Bag was bought in feb 2022 in Paris and used twice. I’m selling bc a small suites my petite frame better. Mesg me if interested!

I’m going to be going luxury handbag and shoe shopping in Paris and looking to spend around $10K total. What are some classic things you recommend I consider? I am looking at YSL, Dior lady bag, Ferragamo loafers, etc. I want classic items that will never go out of style and are worth the cost

Does anybody else see no point in splurging on luxury goods at the moment? Don’t get me wrong, I still love a bit of Cartier and Dior, but what’s the point when we can’t really go anywhere?

Is fashionphile a legitimate place to buy a Chanel bag if it comes with an authenticity card? I know that there is at least some risk, but I’m trying to gauge if this a reputable enough place to spend so much money. Thanks!
