ModCloth, ASOS, Eloquii. I do Torrid sometimes but they’re not really my style. I dress between casually and dressy, but never business-y. If you’re looking for more business appropriate clothes, Eloquii is good for that (albeit they have some pretty weird options sometimes).

Target/Lands End for basics

I’ve had great luck with Talbots dresses!!! Also Calvin Klein.

Loft/Target/sometimes Stitch fix

Lane Bryant, Macy’s, Nordstrom

ASOS is hands down my favorite. A lot of their pieces do a good job of being fashion forward and professional yet casual. Nordstrom is also good but sometimes doesn’t feel as trendy but good for some basics.

I work part time for a startup for equity and am attending an event on behalf of the startup. I’ve only been here a few months and asked multiple times to have a prep meeting with my boss. He instead sent me a 15 page document outlining 40 questions I should be able to answer the day before the event.
I’m so incredibly stressed as I don’t want to show up unprepared and make myself look bad. Idk how to make light of this situation at this point

What does it mean if you get feedback such as “know the room better?” I came across a team email that was addressed to my account team, and I approached my boss about my response to it. Then he gave me this feedback and told me not to engage in the conversation. Funny thing is a strategy lead just responded back to the team with the exact response I came up with, and my boss agreed with her...
