Thoughts on sweater vests in PE? Thinking long sleeve button down with sweater vest over?

Senior revving up to manager promo. Only nervous about one thing at the manager level which is having to answer pointed “Why??” questions from higher up clients on live calls. Any one else work through something like this? I’d appreciate any tips or suggestions as I really suck at dealing with unexpected push back.

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?

Is it appropriate to give your PL a gift (MD)? It was a promotion year to SM…

Partners / Managing Directors: in your junior years, how did you manage not wanting to work with a Senior Mgr who consistently tries to pull you into work he is doing? (He lies, tries to make you think that he is doing you favors, etc.) Does your answer now change as a Partner / MD?

What do you do when when someone at the top of your firm says something bigoted and you don’t call them out immediately?

I’m sure ACB knows the difference between textualism and originalism so why does she keep referring to them as if they’re the same thing?

Ok so if I use the Snapchat makeup filter on my zoom call is it super obvious/ look silly? I'm taking about that really subtle one that clears your face up and adds subtle "eyeliner". Do you know what I'm talking about? I don't want to put makeup on for calls but I look washed out without it lol.

Ex consultant, currently in industry. BCG HR contacted me for a role, process was a lil messy and unprofessional. Still waiting for the “exploratory chat” she was supposed to set up with the MDP since 2 weeks ago. Texted on whatsapp but no response. Normal?

Colleague suspect that I ate/stole his food in the fridge. I did not. The suspicion was expressed in a semi-casual-semi-serious tone in front of other colleagues. How would you handle this?

How different do your two professional recommendations need to be? I’ve worked for two years under the same management because of mutual trust. Any other recommendations would be dated or worse.

need advice.

I have been working in an interim role as a portfolio manager. I was promised that the role would be mine. However, after doing the job for 2 months, I have been advised that we might not get the funding for the role and I might not get the raise and the title but my responsibilities will be the same.

Its a political minefield.

How should I back out elegantly that I need to be compensated fairly and competitively from this mess without burning any bridges

Has anyone successfully pursued a relationship with someone they met at work? An MD I am really attracted to has been chasing me, but I am nervous about what the repercussions could be if it doesn't work out. Still, it's tempting

Practising Catholic here - I don’t understand what specific catholic challenges I have at work? The biggest issue for me is the annoying Cardinal Pell and other rape jokes.

Do you guys give your boss's New Years' gifts? I'm thinking of doing one since I didn't give a holiday gift but thought it maybe weird

If an employee files a complaint about workplace behavior, do you treat them differently? I'm faced with reporting an SM for bullying and finding it near imposible to believe that it won't (cont'd)

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

Doing FET with my husband; we just found out our ideal egg donor has available lots! It has been a struggle to find a compatible donor, but it looks like we made it!

Does Next Gen issue a formal report for PGS testing results? I had my embryos tested and my clinic just told me which were normal and abnormal. No other info on embryos ratings, etc. they could have not even sent it in for all I know!
Also, how involved are you REs? I’ve been through 2 retrievals now, but feel kinda in the dark still on a lot of things. Some of the nurses are hit or miss and if I want to talk to my doctor I have to schedule a consultation and its typically a 2 week wait.

Hi! I’m new to consulting & new to luxury fashion.
Would some of you share your favorite places for inspiration and ideas on new and vintage style?
And feel free to sprinkle in some favorite places you shop, entry level pieces for women, or advice in general!

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.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a stylist in NYC. I would like to group my clothes into outfits for specific seasons so I only have one season in my closet at a time. Assistance would be greatly appreciated!

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

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!

Does anyone have a promo code for Fashionphile? First time shopping there and I can’t find a code anywhere, even signed up for emails and nothing…

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?
