Wear a dress of any kind. |
Blowout |
Wear an outfit that makes you feel confident and smile. |
It’s get a man weather. |
If it’s appropriate given the power dynamics, just ask them out. You don’t need to do this kind of dumb little dance. It’s 2024! |
If she’s in wash dc it is summer weather this week. A dress would be perfect. |
OP here, de zone ng the opportunity of the 90 degree day today to wear a dress (not a sundress, it's black and has cap sleeves, but is jersey and definitely shows off my assets). Blowing out my hair and hoping my office colleagues just think I'm embracing the warm weather with some joie de vivre and don't realize I'm dressing up for our guest! |
^ seizing, not de zone ng. Autocorrect fail. |
You have to let us know how it goes! However it turns out, I hope you feel beautiful and enjoy yourself :) |
Good strategy! I want updates!! |
I might put one spin on the dressing up. I’ve noticed that when I dress, people don’t assume I’m playing with style. Rather they assume there is a professional event worthy of dressing up. So people are likely to think that you are dressing up for the guest because you want to make a good professional impression, which on top of everything I am sure you do! (Another way of saying don’t get embarrassed if people assume you are dressing up for X. They don’t necessarily mean romantically). |
And under 30 |
I was coming here to say, wear the outfit you feel most confident in |
OP here and thank you all for encouraging me to wear a dress. I've gotten a ton of compliments today, and feeling like my best self around my crush, who I'm doing post-work drinks with later (with others as well, but still). So glad I get to do drinks in a cute dress instead of my usual jeans, which would be too hot today anyway! Having a pretty swell Monday, thanks DCUM for the tips! |
It depends on your body type. Highlighting your asset. Look up how to dress for
Your body type (rectangle, pear, triangle, etc) |
