Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Arlo Loose Fitted TopI mentioned this yesterday: man, L.K. Bennett has a lot of good stuff in their sale section — but lots of lucky sizes. This top, with its pretty pleated details, interesting but high v-neck, and elbow-length sleeves, was designed to be an “office-ready top,” and it has a secret: it's machine washable. Lovely. It comes in three colors; the blue and the red are both available in lucky sizes only and are marked down to $122; the cream-colored version is still full price at $175. If you're looking for the professional white shirt that isn't a button up, you may have struck gold here. Arlo Loose Fitted Top In our last convo about white shirts that aren't blouses or tees, a lot of readers gave shoutouts to Express, so here's a more affordable option from there; as well as a similar option from Nordstrom (that also comes in plus sizes); if you're looking for a similar option in a blue, this top from eShakti can be ordered in sizes XS-6X, as well as customized. Seen a great piece you’d like to recommend? Please e-mail tps@corporette.com. (L-all)

    Yay! Kat, I love the office ready HIGH v-neck in blue! My dad say’s I look realy good in blue, so I think I can get this b/c the half sleeve’s are good to prevent Frank from peering in to see my boobie’s.

    I have to bill 32 hour’s today b/c I am takeing off this weekend to look at a coupel of apartement’s that are on the first floor so I can also have a walk-in office. I am NOT crazy about liveing on the first floor — men love to stare into the window’s and I do NOT want them to see me in there, even if I am fully clothe’d. Dad insist’s I at least look so I am lookeing at places near where I live so that I still have a nayborhood to live in, not mid-town which is dead after 7pm.

    Myrna’s freind Bob was OK — no great shake’s–he considers himself a sexpert, meaning that he has had women from all around the world. I yawned and told him my dad was a sexpert, but still wound up marrying locally (with mom), resulteing in ME! Believe me, there is no plus in meeting a guy who has had sex with women from many continent’s. All that does is increase the likelihood he is carrying an STD. FOOEY! I would never want his winkie anywhere near me unless he was tested AND we were engaged. But I see no chance of that b/c Bob is interested in sampeling, not buying at this point. And he is 45 year’s old! If he doesn’t park his winkie permanentley soon, it will sureley wither and his eventueal wife will NOT be happy with a defleated winkie when she is lookeing for more. DOUBEL FOOEY!

    The manageing partner is not happy about me thinkeing about leaveing. He know’s Mason is useless and he told me that I would need to give 3 month’s notice under the partnership agreement to allow for a smooth transition. I said not to worry b/c I am only lookeing now b/c my dad said so. He is still nervus, and told me to bill 32 hour’s today 32 tomorrow and 24 on Friday to cover the week, assuming no billeing on Saturday. FOOEY — I have to get to work now. TTYL! YAY!!!!

  3. Sakina

    I love it. Wish I had $175 to spend on a shirt! That is my favourite sleeve length, and I like a loose fit.

    Shoe crisis for the fashion-challenged. Let’s say a hypothetical person is traveling with two pairs of shoes (black and nude heels) and two suits (black and navy). Let’s say said person’s black heels just totally bit the dust, and this person wore their navy suit yesterday. Decision time: can this person wear nude shoes with a black suit, or should she try to pull off the same outfit two days in a row?

      • Anonymous

        Anonymous above. Thanks guys! This is why I need this site. I’ve never worn nude shoes with a black suit before.

    • Cream Tea

      I wore nude heels and a black suit yesterday. Just wear a light colour top under the suit jacket.

    • KT

      I wore nude heels and a black suit yesterday. Just wear a light colour top under the suit jacket.

    • Pretty Primadonna

      I would wear nude shoes (either nude for me, or “nude” which is typically beige or tan) with a black suit, light colored blouse, and gold accessories.

  7. TO Lawyer

    So now that Mad Men is coming to an end, it appears like my boyfriend and I will need a new show to watch together. Any suggestions?

    I watch a lot of TV and like pretty much everything that doesn’t have too much violence or gore in it. I’m a big fan of melodrama. My boyfriend doesn’t really like the soapiness. We’ve both enjoyed watching Mad Men and House of Cards. And in terms of comedies, I’ve got him into the Mindy Project and Happy Endings. And he got me to watch Brooklyn 99 which I’ve liked.

    Thanks ladies!

    • roses

      30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt for comedies (my love for Tina Fey is unending). If you have Amazon Prime, Transparent is also a great non-soapy drama with some dark comedy thrown in.

    • anonymous

      Sherlock, The Last Ship (my husband’s pick), Lilyhammer (I have been finding this hysterically funny for some reason), Silk (you ARE a lawyer!), the original British House of Cards, Kingdom (UK Comedy – Stephen Fry), The Good Wife (for the clothes if nothing else).

    • Asideralis

      I loved Lost Girl. It’s Canadian and in the fantasy realm. Plus, the protagonist is bi! Woot!

    • JJ

      If you can accept that it in no way reflects real life as a lawyer, my husband and I both really enjoy watching Suits.

      • Lyssa

        Second Suits – I definitely pretend that “lawyer” has a completely different meaning in their world than the real one, too.

        We also like Sleepy Hollow, which is similarly pretty silly and requires a large suspension of disbelief, but fun (and the main actor is dead sexy). We’ve also been enjoying 12 Monkeys on Sy Fy (much better done than most of what I’ve seen on Sy Fy).

      • Senior Attorney

        The Americans is my absolute favorite show right now. It’s the only one I make a point of watching when it’s actually broadcast.

    • Senior Attorney

      I know I am super, super late to the party, but my son and I have been binge-watching Scandal for the past few evenings. Super love. And the clothes are fab.

    • TO Lawyer

      Thanks ladies. Unfortunately, I already watch most of these (I did say I watch a lot of TV!) – but great suggestions! Maybe I’ll ask my boyfriend what he wants to watch and I can rewatch one of these because they’re all entertaining.

      • la vie en bleu

        White Collar? The new Daredevil series? Gotham? Boardwalk Empire? There are some good shows on Netflix that I have binged all the way through: MI-6 (British spy series).

    • 2 Cents

      If you like history, Turn on AMC is really good. We just started watching Season 1 on Netflix and though it starts out a little slow, we both like it (disclaimer: hubby is a historian).

      For both of you: The Flash. Has the melodrama only CW shows can bring, plus superheros!

    • Must be Tuesday

      I really enjoy The Walking Dead. A bit more gore than I typically like, but the story was good enough (and the gore seem to actually advance the story rather than being gratuitously added for salacious purposes) that I kept watching.

    • soaps

      Bloodline on Netflix was really good, but there’s only one season out, so not ideal for big binge watching

    • Anon

      My husband and I like Scandal and The Last Ship. He also likes Prison Break. I haven’t watched it though, but I watch very little TV besides having food network on for background noise, haha.

    • Best Coast

      My husband and I have loved watching Parenthood and the Blacklist together. Also, Mr. Selfridge on Amazon Prime.

  8. Anon

    Ideas: Parks & Rec, Friday Night Lights, West Wing, Homeland (some violence but hardly any gore), Nashville. It’s probably too gory for you but I love Scandal. And probably too soapy for your BF, but Pretty Little Liars is a great guilty pleasure.

      • Senior Attorney

        OMG I miss West Wing so much. I swear it’s the only thing that got me through the Bush years…

        • Best show ever

          I just started rewatching the West Wing. Why isn’t television this good anymore? I am kind of in love with Josh Lyman and I want to be CJ Craig.

          • Mpls

            I think I rewatched (all 7 seasons) about…7 times in a row before I finally got a little sick of it.

      • Anonymous

        I got through six of the seasons before Amazon removed it from Prime Instant Video in the UK. This is a first watch through as I’m young – my grandma loved it, though, so it’s making me feel closer to her.
        I really want to get a Santos/ McGarry sticker to put on my bike.

  9. Investment Questions/Timing

    My husband and I are in the lucky position of having a lot of cash on hand (a few hundred thousand dollars). We’ve max out our 401 accounts and IRAs, and it will be a few years before we are ready to buy a home (we live overseas in an area with a very risky housing market so we won’t buy until we move back to the US), although at least a portion of this money would likely be our eventual downpayment.
    What’s the best way to put this money to work for us? We’re hoping to put at least a portion into the market (index funds). I’m nervous, however, about putting too much into the market at the same time; what’s the best way to time these investments so we don’t get on the wrong side of dollar cost averaging? Any other tips?

    • roses

      I think the internet can be a great place for beginner investment advice, but with a few hundred thousand, I definitely think you need to consult a financial planner.

      • ace

        Agreed. I think your horizon for buying — whether “a few years” is 2 years or 5 — will also be a factor. Anything less than ~3 years is short-term enough that an advisor will likely tell you not to put it into the market, but if longer you may want a low risk fund of some sort. Regardless, with that amount of money, the right answer involves a financial advisor and not internet strangers :)

    • Former Partner, Now In-House

      I agree with Roses, and would add: interview at least three before choosing. Not sure where you are, but if you have access to USAA or Auto Club or the local US Consulate or Embassy, they can give you some names. Skype is also an option.

      One thing I’ve learned is that when moving large masses like that, advisers will often recommend moving a portion (third, quarter) every so often (week, month) until it is all moved so that any market issues on a particular date don’t control the entire transition.

    • Sarabeth

      With that money, I’d put it in Vanguard and use one of their financial planners (will be free or have an hourly fee, depending on how much money exactly you are investing) to talk you through their options. They have the full range of basic products, generally at the lowest fees on the market. They don’t have as many actively-managed options, but with that amount of money and a relatively short timeline, you probably don’t want an actively managed fund anyway.

      Also – this may be obvious, but there is no foolproof way to avoid the timing risk. The market is either going to go up or down, we can’t predict it accurately. If you do a lump sum up front, you risk losing money in a downturn. If you trickle it in over time, you risk losing the upside if the market rises. On average, you are going to do better with a lump sum up front, but that also has a greater risk (you are basically trading diversification).

      • CJ Craig

        I would recommend the exact same thing. Also, pose the same question on the vanguard diehards / bogleheads forum. It’s frequented by some financial professionals who might be able to give you good advice about what to ask a professional.

      • L in DC

        +1000

        Most financial advisors will charge you a percentage of your assets invested, which will cut into your returns, or they’ll put you in mutual funds that have a share class structure that gives them commissions (these mutual funds have correspondingly higher expenses). I always always recommend Vanguard and their free financial planners are a great resource.

    • NYCtech

      I think asset allocation is likely to be a much more important question than timing the market. In your position, I’d divide the money into two pools: the amount you anticipate needing within the next 5 years (downpayment, other expenses), and the amount you will save long-term (maybe as long as retirement). I’d then put the down payment money in a very conservative investment (something like a 50/50 split between Vanguard total bond market index and a high yield savings account or CD ladder). Then for the long term money, I’d invest it in the market all at once in a simple combo of index funds according to your risk tolerance. For me personally (in my 30s, reliable income, saving for the long term, willing to hold through down markets) this would be something like 80% Vanguard total stock market, 20% total bond market. Set the investments, and then check in once or twice a year to rebalance as necessary.

      This asset allocation frees you from having to worry about timing the market. The money you need will be there when you need it. And the long-term money will have plenty of time to recover if the market crashes the day after you invest (as long as you know that you’ll be able to stick with a buy-and-hold strategy through tough times).

  10. Baconpancakes

    Spoke with my mom about salary negotiation today, and assured her I was comfortable negotiating for salary and additional benefits and wouldn’t undervalue myself. She expressed the wish that she had been so comfortable with it at my age, and I told her about all the great resources (like here) and books for teaching women how to be confident and professional in the workplace. She had never even considered that saying “I’m sorry, but could you…” made her seem less authoritative, and that bringing in baked goods might make her seem more like a mom than a boss. She worked her way up, eventually was director of her department, but often felt like she was passed over for promotion and shorted on raises. I’m incredibly proud of my mother, but I am also incredibly thankful I have this community to encourage me to negotiate and pursue my career goals, and provide examples of successful, powerful career women to emulate.

    So, thanks.

  11. Pantyhose Help

    I know there has been some talk about pantyhose recently but I am wondering if anyone can help me find my unicorn pair. I wear pantyhose several days a week (I prefer skits/dresses and am in court most days). I am tall and so much prefer highwaisted control top pantyhose, which is a hard enough combination to find but I also need reinforced toes or else my toes always seem to bust through no matter how short and neat my nails are trimmed. (I write this as I attempt to roll the run under my toes hoping it won’t spread on a brand new pair I just opened this morning!). Any suggestions? Sheer is good but I would probably be willing to give up some sheerness in exchange for durability. Thanks!

    • In the Pink

      Check out the european styles offered by shapings dot com. I’m not a shill, just a happy user for over a decade now. My filodoro brands last (with daily office wear and tear) at least 2 weeks. Happy shopping, They are in Canada but ship to US.

    • Kelly Andthenblog

      Can you size up for the height? (no reccs for the tallness aside from that) Otherwise, I recommend the Hanes Silk Reflections. They come in all the colors, reinforced toe (or not!), and control top/high waist (or not!). And they are affordable enough to occasionally ruin with your rings, or an errant zipper, or a well meaning puppy paw.

      • Diana Barry

        I like DKNY The Nudes for when I wear hose (but I don’t wear often!). Otherwise if I had to wear them all the time, would go to the hanes online store. I am medium tall and always, always size up to the next size or even 2 sizes up sometimes to get the length on the legs right, otherwise I have to pull them too tight and they run every time.

      • MJ

        Cosign Silk Reflections for tall ladies. I am 5’11” with a 35-36 inch inseam, and as long as you are not too heavy for the weight chart, they fit really well. I usually get a pair or two at a Dept store to make sure re size and color and then order them from onehanesplace dot com online, as they are WAY cheaper in multiples/overstocks.

        Further, if you need tights (for Winter) for tall ladies I highly recommend Spanx Tight End tights. They are not like normal spanx (crazy-constricting)–just like control top tights.

        If Silk Reflections isn’t your bag, Calvin Klein, DKNY and Evan Picone have good sizing for talls in nylons.

    • CJ Craig

      despite my handle I am very petite (think CJ’s sort-of replacement, the southern belle).

      But, I would recommend that you check out Commando. They run REALLY long and all their hose has this weird stretchy maternity-like panel that is very high waisted. Not sure about the reinforced toes.

      • Mpls

        I second Commando tights for being generous with length, though the Spanx brand tights I have are even longer. Can’t comment on the hose version for either brand, though.

    • A

      JCPenney has pantyhose in tall sizes, and it goes into plus sizes. It’s one of the only places that sells it like that that I’ve seen. You may also want to buy a size up. (also, if you’re cutting your nails, don’t forget to file them so they aren’t sharp).

    I feel very strongly that lunch with a boss is not a gift, it’s work. My boss is lovely but I would so much rather not go to lunch with her today. Please commiserate.

      • anne-on

        Ugh, yes, conferences with group breakfast/lunch/dinner/happy hour receptions are THE WORST. There is just no down time. The very very best part of one of my old bosses was that after we’d worked together for awhile he was totally comfortable saying to me – look, its been a long day, we’re here for another few days at this conference, lets both go order room service and relax, I’ll see you tomorrow at the breakfast.

    • anonymous for this

      Yes, yes!

      Even though I’ve had a boss who became a friend, and have made friends with people I’ve met at work–

      Lunches (that are not really optional) with people you work with are NOT celebrations. Period. *Of course* I “seemed to enjoy” them, and “never had any complaints”–I worked for you–you paid me–and, as some have expressed here w/r/t secretaries day recognitions–how ungrateful (and possibly petty) would I have seemed if I had said something? But it really just meant additional emotional work for me, to work to seem like I was enjoying the event during time I would normally have been able to choose what to do with (even if only working through lunch, which I sometimes did).

      Tl;dr — I’m sorry, and know you’re not alone in not enjoying such gestures.

      • Blonde Lawyer

        “emotional work” is so true. I actually really enjoy going to lunch w/ my boss because we like the same local specialty place and he always insists on buying. However, I still need to “unwind” when I return before I can back from work. I end up basically taking a double lunch and then working longer to get my work done or just losing billable hours that day. I need to recharge from the “emotional work” of conversing with a boss over an hour lunch. It can be exhausting! I never really thought of it that way until you wrote it that way.

    • Ellen

      When I go to lunch with the manageing partner, I agree it is work, but we BOTH get to bill for it, b/c we discuss busness and cleint’s so we BOTH get to bill the cleint’s for our discussion plus food plus transportation (portal to portal). When we went to the Lamb’s club for a 2 hour lunch, we were both abel to bill 2.5 hours, plus the cost of the meal (which ironicly was lamb chops). So by eating lunch together, the firm was able to bill $2850.33 (including cab fare). I supose I would rather go buy clotheing @ Lord and Taylor, but collecting this much in billeing’s just to sit and eat with the manageing partner has to be a close second. YAY!

    • Shayla

      Add to that any event after work with boss that’s “sure to be a good time.”

    • la vie en bleu

      The worst part is that the bosses that make it most like “work” are exactly the ones who are too self-absorbed to ever figure this out. I have had bosses I actually didn’t mind hanging out with, but that Venn diagram is two circles that do not intersect at all.

    • Rogue Banker

      Or the “Oh hey, we spend 40+ hours together each week, let’s take one of our precious nights off and spend it together in a team-building exercise disguised as a team dinner!”
      At one of the most expensive restaurants in town.
      On a non-payday week.
      On a weeknight.

      Yeah. My coworkers are insane and work socializing needs to not be a thing. Networking with off-site folks, I can see. But with the people I see every day? I’m sick enough of y’all as is! :P

  13. Emily

    It’s work, but it’s a fun sort of work in certain fields. It’s also a personal thing. Some people value time more than money and for one secretary, it meant a lot to her that her main partner took her out for a nice lunch on her birthday every year. It meant that he was treating her like a person and not just a minion.

    As a junior associate, I enjoyed going to lunch with certain partners as it was time spent getting to know them that other junior associates didn’t get but it wasn’t a “gift”.

    • Must be Tuesday

      I think it really varies by person. I would never give lunch with me as a gift to any of my assistants, and it seems like something that I personally would not find enjoyable if I were on the receiving end, but the few times it was given to me as a gift or perk, I did actually enjoy it.

      I worked as a legal secretary for a while before law school, and a couple of the younger associates took me and the other secretary out for lunch for one secretary’s day (which I think it was still called back them). It was lunch at a nice restaurant and I enjoyed interacting with the attorneys on a more personal level.

      Later on, as a new associate working at a firm that I wasn’t particularly happy at, I still enjoyed the office dinners that we had a few times a year. I enjoyed socializing with the other attorneys and staff and spouses, I liked trying new restaurants in new areas of the city that I wouldn’t have discovered on my own, and I even liked seeing a more human side to the partners than I was used to seeing at work.

    What’s your go-to interview answer for “Why do you want to leave a firm to go in-house?”

    • WestCoast Lawyer

      For me the honest answer was that I wanted to have one client and work with a consistent team so that I could get to know the company’s business issues and not just the legal ones. I had grown tired of constantly jumping from one client deal to the next, working very closely with a company’s executives for a few months and then jumping onto the next company’s deal.

    • Lazy lawyer

      Focus on why you want to work for the company you’re interviewing with. When I interviewed for my job, no one in the many rounds of interviews asked me why I wanted to leave my law firm. But almost all of them asked me why I wanted to work at Company. Also, a good answer would show that you know something about how an in-house position differs from law firm work — for example, that you’re excited to work with the business team to help them achieve their long term goals rather than simply advising them on discrete deals.

  15. Sublease Agreement

    Anyone have a good resource for a simple sublease agreement? I’m in NOVA if that matters. Thanks!

    • CountC

      I don’t really like advocating doing it this way, but do you have a friend who is a real estate agent and is a member of NVAR? They may have access to a form there that they can pass along to you.

      • A

        A real estate agent should have a program that has a bunch of blank leases in it. Ziplogix or something like that. You might check their website if they have a cheap version for non-agents.

    I have about three pairs of party shoes that I wore at most twice but are just not comfortable for my feet shape. What are the best sites to resell?

    • In House Lobbyist

      I have had good luck buying and selling things on PoshMark. They have an app which makes it way to easy for me to browse when I pick up my phone.

  17. Need a pep talk

    I just got an email saying that I have a “very solid resume” but not the best fit for a position that I applied for in a city that I have been wanting to move to that is also closer to family. And this afternoon I have a phone call for a position that I am very well suited for but in a location that I’m not thrilled about and for a salary that is lower than the norm for that particular job. I want to be professional and not screw this up despite the disappointment.

    • 2 Cents

      Any interview experience is helpful! (Practice makes perfect.) And perhaps, this position will be better than it appears on paper. And maybe they are more flexible on salary (or the benefits are fantastic). Good luck!

    • Moonstone

      Ugh, that’s crummy timing. Best of luck pushing away the disappointment. It sounds as if you will be able to impress them with your qualifications, so try to just focus on that and get through the call. If you move on to the next step, you can think more about location and pay.

  18. Research Gate

    Is anyone on Research Gate? What do you use it for? (ie, publication tracking, networking, etc)

    I just signed up for Research Gate via a “friend request” type automatic email from colleague. I only did the default set up without picture for now. It looks like a LinkedIn type of deal, which doesn’t immediately interest me since I’m not planning to leave my current position until retirement, but I like that it might track publications, which I’m horrible at doing myself. I’m wondering how I can best use it, or if it’s worth it at all.

    • SFedits

      I am on Research Gate. It’s a great way to make your own publications more widely available, and to see others posted by people in your area of research. I don’t use it at all in a way related to looking for a job and I don’t think most people do, from what I can see – you are really following other people’s work, only, and letting others follow yours.

  19. Anon

    So frustrated. Trying to get my SO into inpatient rehab but have quickly realized that insurance does not want to pay for it and OOP cost is about $1,000 per day. Annoying that insurance would rather keep SO in the hospital than pay for them to get better.

    • Blonde Lawyer

      Ugh, that is awful. I have some personal experience appealing insurance decisions. In one case I was able to convince them the cost of a “never covered” procedure (because usually cosmetic) would be cheaper than the multiple surgeries I would continue needing if I didn’t have the usually cosmetic procedure.

      You can ask about how to submit a request for special coverage. Also, get your actual policy and comb through it to make sure they are telling the truth about whether in-patient is covered.

      In my case I couldn’t just rely on my doctors to make the case for me because they were half assing it. One didn’t even bother writing about my past surgeries and future surgeries and just said “I think this normally cosmetic procedure is medically necessary.” I printed out literature and quotes for different procedures to show the likelihood of the procedure working and the cost savings to the insurance company.

      In your case, you want to show how much it has cost them to date and will cost in the future (x) if untreated but if in-patient rehab works at Y cost it will save them X-Y. You also want to outline why he/she is a good candidate for in-patient and why it is likely to be successful etc.

      You will likely need some kind of denial to appeal so if you aren’t going to start with in-patient until it is approved, get a pre-approval request submitted from the provider so that you then have a denial to start your appeal with.

    • a nonny miss

      Is this medical rehab or mental health/substance abuse? Your insurance may be subject to Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act requirements

    • Wild Chicken

      Sorry you’re going through this – did the same thing a few months ago with my SO. Is the rehab out of network? I’d keep trying, and also ask your physician for advice on other centers that your insurance might cover. It may be that insurance will pay for one but not another for whatever reason. Have you called the centers yourself, or just spoken to your insurance company? Some of the centers are great at getting coverage when the insurance company tells you no. On a personal note, you will quickly find that way more people have this problem (the problem of being the SO of someone with an addiction) than you know right now, so I’d recommend you try a program where you find some support with all of this. It’s like its own thing. Would be happy to reach out to you directly if I can be of help. Thoughts are with you as you navigate this difficult journey.

      Thanks for all the advice. The facility we liked ended up being out of network and the closest decent in-network place is several states away. However, they’ve warned me that insurance tends to only approve 3-5 days at a time and we can get stuck with a bill for anything else. It’s hard to plan financially since they won’t preapprove anything.

  20. Higher ed

    I have seen it used mostly by people in academic research to track their publications. I think it might also make it easier for people to find you on Google

  22. Too white for rehearsal?

    Looking for some help on whether this dress — floral print on a white background — is pushing the etiquette envelope as a guest at a rehearsal dinner. I haven’t figured out the rule on this yet; I wouldn’t wear it to a wedding, but I’m wondering about the rules for the night before. And some accessories help, if anyone is so inclined. Thanks!
