What's your biggest pet peeve about women's work wear? Affordability? Availability? Design? Quality?

Fit & quality. Most clothes are designed for sticks wtf

like

Affordability and quality seem to be at opposite ends of the spectrum. I hate that almost all blouses are sheer. If you're not flat chested then there a battle with the neckline or pulling at the chest. The waistline of most dresses is too short on me. I have to get most of my clothes tailored. Also, dry cleaning is not only a time suck but also ends up costing a fortune. Men seem to have an easier time with sizing.

Totally agree with the pulling. Any shirt that buttons up is either huge or pulling to for an open gap at my chest.

like

That's why I generally try to avoid button down shirts. Does your work prefer you to wear them?

I think silk button ups are generally better for gaps. Try Everlane- great quality at a more manageable price

Thankfully new york and company has that extra hidden button to stop the gaps ! But honestly i sweat right through button downs anyway so i gave up

I just ordered my first Chanel! I never got myself a milestone gift before, but I just found out I passed my fourth and final section of the CPA exam, exactly one month before my 30th birthday. And I busted my butt for it, while working 50+ billable hours a week. I wanted to get something that will remind me of this feeling for years to come. I hadn't decided on a Chanel until I absolutely fell in love with the quilted Trendy CC. I'm ecstatic!
