Theory, MM Lafleur but also have this problem. And yes, D1 - no need to be rude. It can be quite difficult to find nice, professional clothes if you’re very small.

Same. Very difficult to find real petites that are professional

Are you short or thin as well? There is a great blog called extrapetite.com. She has a lot of great professional outfits, so you could check that out for tips! I think she’s around 5’ tall and pretty tiny, so could be a great resource for ideas!

I second this- I’m also fairly petite and buy her recs all the time; she’s never led me astray. I believe she’s an ex consultant so appropriate aesthetic.

Ann Taylor, Banana Republic. Get a BR Luxe Visa card and hemming is always free on full-price purchases. And find a good tailor if you need things taken in.

If you can get something tailored, that would be great, but if not, see if you can get someone to buy you a bunch of stuff in Asia (Singapore or Hong Kong maybe) and ship it to you. I’ve noticed that the S and XS in Singapore and Hong Kong are different from the S and XS here (for eg in brands like Zara and Calvin Klein) and you might find that the Asia S and XS fits better!

Just had a very uncomfortable conversation with a partner. I have some time off booked to go to my brother’s wedding (I’m the best man). We were chatting and I mentioned that my brother’s future husband is so nice and really a great guy, and we already consider him a member of our family. Partner’s tone immediately shifts and as we’re ending the call he says, “Okay, enjoy the time with your family at the civil ceremony.” Like… girl you live in California, you cannot be this backward.

I started working for a new law firm, much larger than the firm I was working for previously. The main attorney that I work under had noticed some mistakes I was making (I am a NY paralegal who took this position with the understanding that they’d be teaching me NJ and NYC real estate). Anyways, the attorney decided to tell the HR manager about the mistakes I had been making. Rather than HR discussing with me, the manager told my dramatic coworker to tell me..how should I handle this? Very hurt!

I've been thinking about my career a lot lately. I feel like I've hit a wall, and I don't know how to get past it.

I've been at this job for almost 5 years now, and ever since the day I started, there have been problems with my coworkers. It's not just one person—it's everyone in my department, and they all seem to be working against each other instead of together. Should I leave?

How do you work with a fellow coworker after they have said a horrible racist word that was very offensive to you? I'm finding it very difficult to forgive and move on.

One of my friend was asked to resign because she got pregnant . They specifically told her that they have strict policies and need complete commitment and you are not fit for the current role owing to your health. They have a king rule from management side and treat their employees as daily wage labor . Very bad HR and management

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

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?
