What women’s walking shoes do you recommend? I live in Chicago and take the train to work so usually change into shoes once I get to the office.

Super comfy and they’re relatively small I.e easy to throw in your bag if you need to change shoes. I wear mine in the office but could totally walk in them all day

Depends on how cute vs not cute you want to be. In the non-winter months, I typically wore Keds to commute. Lots of color/style options (glitter, rifle paper co, etc), pretty comfortable, and weren’t a true gym shoe so they looked a smidge cuter.

I recommend men's shoes; a pair of Cole Hans can look both unisex and professional. Can be dressed up or down, and are actually comfortable.

Vionic has some cute, podiatrist-approved shoes.

I have accepted an offer for the role of Director of Data Science & Analytics and I'll be working with old colleagues. I am very excited. I haven't given notice yet because I am waiting for the background check to complete, but my boss just asked me about traveling to a meeting in November. I start at the new job Oct 25. I'm really struggling for how to respond. If I were not leaving it is absolutely a meeting I should be at. I don't want to respond with a lie. Any dvice on how to respond?

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing.
