Small local boutiques. I prefer to try on clothes rather than ordering online. And I’m supporting local business.

EY2 - you're so right. There are a few local ones I like for work as well - I wish there were more local stores near me that stock larger sizes. My current fav is Trelise Cooper, they even have a Co-OP Collective to shop from. www.trelisecooper.com

Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Theory, Talbots, Brooks Brothers, Loft (for business casual). I don’t care too much about being creative at work...I’m more concerned with fit, quality of construction, fabric, and go-anywhere classics. I’m also little, and even petites tend to be too long in the legs & sleeves, so free tailoring (Banana!) or esse of tailoring is important too.

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

Hi all,

My boss makes jokes about me being from a different country whenever there is a work meeting or a gathering with coworkers, even though he knows where I am from. This usually occurs when I meet new work-related people or for example if I am in a situation that involves ethnic related subjects.

What is this? This is normal?
