More professional - wool buy warmer - down.

I’d get both honestly. For polar vortex weather you will need a down parka. But wool is more stylish and professional

I get cold so easily that there’s no point in my buying wool tbh, so I just go for down

I love Mackage and their sister brand Soia and Kyo as well, those are where my coats are from :) as a note, I don’t mind the Kay but literally everyone in New York has one so I’d get another style if I were you!

Just go for a nice down jacket; mackage is really nice when you can find them on sale. You’ll need it and good ones can look nice.

I don’t like to mess w my hormones and at the same time don’t like the idea of getting stuff inserted within me. If those are the only 2 choices, I ll go w pills.

I know I am underpaid, but my leaders are forcing me to work on multiple projects, for which I am getting anxiety even before working or denying.
What is the solution? Provided I don't want to switch & increase salary just to provide more tax to govt or the work may increase more too.
I need 100% job stability, which only PwC can provide.
Genuine advice needed!!

Engagement ring questions!
1) Isn’t it weird to pick your own ring? I’m a big advocate of making the marriage decision together/against waiting for the man to “pop the question”/cheesy proposals, but I feel strange being involved in this process. It almost feels entitled and takes some of the romance away. Is it hypocrite of me? Of course I’d rather get my ideal ring than something I like less but still. How do you feel about it?
