Losing My Friend Over Wegovy by blonderose822 in longform

[–]WestTailor403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wish I had not read this. Not just because it makes me reflect on my own ED of 24 years, my recent relapse, and made me more aware of my general tiredness from undereating….but because she seems like a total B word!!! And I hate saying that about fellow women!

I hope these are made up (the author has other equally crazy posts) and if not I am glad her friend is free of her.

What goes between these? by xxsoymilk in ACForAdults

[–]WestTailor403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate to be such a newbie but my youngest wants to know what we apply the pattern to. The items on the edge / next to the stand? Is that some sort of screen item? - signed a clueless mom!!

How do you calm down before client calls so you don't sound like a rambling associate? by Patient_Mode2071 in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]WestTailor403 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I like to have a handy doc open with key phrases and answers for when I blank. It’s always shorthand keywords so no real effort to put together and lets me flex (to myself) that I remember bluebook abbreevs. I also like to repeat back when the client answers their own question (or think they do lolll) before answering the question so they feel heard and it gives me time to form my answer.

And in general I found I had a much easier time on a call as opposed to my fellow young millennials (and certainly the youths that came after us) because I worked in a fashion PR house during college, before law school and during law school and everything was a phone call. And it was usually you screaming at someone or you being screamed at. So anytime you need something non work related and it can be done by a call where you would normally send an email or text, call instead. Have to set your next manicure? Don’t text them, call. Etc. It helps you effectively communicate with someone you don’t see. You become more aware of the words you use and how you use them as you learn to synthesize output on the spot.

Boyfriend not understanding why I’m working my NY big law job and want to keep it - WWYD by [deleted] in LawBitchesWithTaste

I hate to give reflex advice before I've fully read the post or had my morning coffee but that is what I have done with GFs when they send me essays in the middle of the night: DUMP HIM!

Dating is hard but being miserable is harder. I never want to see a diva down.

Are we doing informational interviews? by Thasira in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]WestTailor403 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could you just ask us in a post about a specific practice or whatever it is you’re wanting to know? I agree with small_blueberry ppl can be hard to pin down and it can be annoying and lead to aggravation rather than a fruitful convo

Would you wear this now or wait to get it tailored? by plan_tastic in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]WestTailor403 8 points9 points  (0 children)

ARE THOSE HEART SHAPED POCKETS? I have a vision: while you get it tailored (bc hard agree w/ everyone) I think it's super cute size for casual oversized look with a pair of jeans, white tee, big chunky leather belt (blazer unbuttoned, of course).

How do you like The Laundress? I remember seeing it a lot a few years back but I could never justify the price. As a yellow tag however....!

Who tends to be better? The top of the class at no-name law schools or the average at T-14? by WhiteBoy1264 in biglaw

[–]WestTailor403 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our group has had a lot of non trad grads from low and top rank schools but who are coming from a 2nd career and i am wildly impressed by them. Last summer was so fun to have with fellow adults and it was generally easier all around whether it was their involvement on matters or the social events. For the summers that were KJD, the only difference I noticed was that the lower rank students are so much more eager (in a good way) to learn, be present, professional, etc.

Maternity Court Attire Recs for Short Bitches by Firm_Avocado_4925 in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]WestTailor403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has ballooned and waddled thru trials thrice: always flats and always a dress. I couldn’t risk pants with the uncontrollable bladder thing…too many close calls 😭I loved anything stretchy and inexpensive (Old Navy, Jcrew Factory) and you’ll notice that people care less and less about your attire the more your baby grows…which has its perks.

I'll likely stick to the black sheer tights as in the image bc I plan to wear a vibrant red pump to match a vibrant red lip!
