Young female attorney here, I want to elevate my work wardrobe but don’t want to buy super expensive clothing either. Any suggestions? (That isn’t the Loft, Zara, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic or J. Crew)

Theory when there is a sale

Off 5th, brooks brothers (don’t doubt, they have some cute things), Nordstrom and ask for a stylist - they will work within your budget. Theory and Vince- for capsule basics —>shop the sales. Boden, Cabi- clearly I could go on. Are you looking for a whole refresh or just a few key pieces?

Omg yes their work pants are phenomenal.

If you’re into sweaters, Naadam and Quince have great, affordable cashmere sweaters

I think there’s a hole in the market for women’s workwear — a slightly lower priced, trendier version of Mm Lafleur should exist. I make sure with Aritzia and Theory on sale, though

Nordstrom. They have a relatively large variety for brands and price points. They also have a lot of alteration perks (I'm some level 4 shit or something so I get unlimited free alterations). I think the KEY to looking chic and put together, no matter how much the clothes cost, is the proper fit.

Everlane or Uniqlo for basics

So stuck. What do I do? I joined this firm a year ago (4 yrs exp total) to grow/get more court/client exposure. Then 2 more-experienced associates were hired, pandemic, & all cases are divided between the other 2. I have no defined tasks except deficiency letters or the odd pro bono case. Boss claims it's mentoring. I still need to meet bill req.

Last wk Boss said I'll do more & my work was good, but today said I can't 2nd chair bc I don't have experience. I'm doing less now than my prior firm.
