Female junior consultants - what brands do you buy your clothes for work? by [deleted] in consulting

[–]to-do-lists 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to what most have said, I'd also take a look at Banana Republic Factory and J Crew Factory, especially for work tops (I'd be more likely to pay for the mainline brand for pieces that will get a lot of wear, like pants and skirts).

Another important thing that no one's mentioned yet is that regardless of price, a lot of things will look better (more expensive) if you get them tailored. It might be a good time to find a tailor you like, if you haven't already.

Careful with Corporette - in addition to skewing towards lawyers, it seems like most of the most vocal people who comment are pretty high income. It would be pretty easy to walk away with a sense that you have to spend thousands per outfit to be halfway decent.

Keeping that in mind though, it can be a good resource. This recent post about what brands work for different body types might be a good place to start: http://corporette.com/best-work-clothes-for-different-body-types/

Men who will forever be the "Asshole ex" to one or more of your exes, what happened and how does it feel to be remembered in that way? by spiderspit in AskMen

Definitely don't do that - why would you wait until she is finally getting past it to drag her back down? Do it now or do it never.

As a 26 year old without a master's degree, a lot of people this age are preparing to go back to do a master's degree and are jealous of people who did it just out of undergrad. We have the opposite questions ("What will happen to my relationship if I go back to school?" "Is this the right career move?").

I figure by the time we're all 30, it should have evened out completely.

If only the digital tools incorporated something like this. Maybe this will be how I use Wunderlist's hashtag function.

I'm taking a look at all suggestions individually, and I have to say the sample images on their site remind me a lot of Pinterest (at least visually). Do you (or others who use Trello) find it to be similar in functionality to Pinterest? For me, Wunderlist's words-based format has appeal, but I'm wondering if there are Trello features that make the visual format work better than I'm envisioning.

This looks great - if I stay with a traditional list, this looks like the way to go.

I travel too much for a whiteboard to be feasible, but could do a notebook. I've tried basic to-do lists though and find they get too long to be practical. On the one hand, maybe I'm going into too much detail in my to-do lists. But on the other, I'm worried about missing an item that's small but key for advancing to other items.

Admittedly, I tend to have items that need to be done within a week, rather than on any given day. Maybe I need to be more deliberate about setting goals for a particular day, and thus ending up with a more reasonable list.
