Outfits - What are your thoughts about a nice body suit (not showing too much skin) with pleated pants, all from Aritzia so decent quality. With booties. I haven’t had to go in office in 6 months and that was my typical outfit and I think it worked fine but now going in person to a target site as well as meeting my team in person for the first time, overthinking / want to establish a good impression.

And also - any other recommendations?

Depends on the fit. I have some bodysuits that I feel are way too clingy. I think it takes away from a professional image. If the fit is flattering and it looks professional, go for it.

What do you mean by clingy? They are nice and professional body suits but sometimes I see people wearing similar tops to bars and I’m kind of concerned it looks unprofessional. But they are all long sleeves and cover most of my skin so I think I’m ok?

Alone I don’t think it is professional… under a blazer, sweater or o the top I think it’s fine.

^second this…

I think it depends on how much it shows off your boobs. If you’re an A or B cup maybe but as a D I would either skip it or throw a jacket over it.

Depends on the cut of the body suit

No. Wear a dressy business casual outfit.

Never hurts to add a few extra touches to really make your outfit pop. Maybe throw on a tailored blazer for a bit of extra polish and professionalism to the look. Or swap out the booties for a pair of sleek heels for an added boost of confidence.

Hi! I’ve started to consult a new agency, an 8 month contract ending Dec,2020.
The client is to ‘pay’ me in art plus a retainer reduced by over 60% of my standard rate (because of the painting.
Art=1 piece at the end of the contract, but only if I complete the entire contract. IF I don’t stay on/company doesn’t get off the ground or relationship doesn’t work out, he can sever the contract. He is difficult & volatile and has yet to give me a contract 1 month in. Have I agreed to a bad deal? help
