A HUGE change from Real Estate. (I'm just an admin right now, not an agent) but my mom actually used to be a Broker, and she is putting a tonne of pressure on me to dress formally. She worked in the red suit with huge shoulder pads, and bright noticeable make-up era... Ugh 90s, she works in the barn now, and doesn't understand that business clothes have evolved. (I do love my mom, but she doesn't understand that my style is FAR different from what was in style when she was in the high powered business group). She keeps buying me dresses, I don't wear dresses... (sorry had to get that rant out). |
Do you have a Suzy Shier near you? I buy all my work stuff there! It's pretty affordable compared to other places and everything looks very nice! I have tons of dress pants from there and I never have to iron them. I hang them to dry and they are perfectly creased. So even if you don't wear dresses, and aren't going to go for your mom's red power suits (lol), you can find some really nice, affordable, young professional looks.
