[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I’m one of these women, and I work in fintech surrounded by them, so I’ll share a few ways I got here—

First, I owned the fact that leveling up my look was part of my job once I got to the exec level. So I used to like really chase sales or put off Botox and although YMMV, once I just embraced that this is part of the deal in the dumb world we live in, I sort of relaxed into it and just added looking “executive” or “powerful” or “totally competent” is part of the JD.

My secret is that I wear the same proportions and five or so colors everyday. I’m tall, so a high rise pant that shows my waist is good. I have about nine pairs. Jeans, trousers, actually a lot of “soft” pants from Cos that look chic. Then I pair it with a body suit or a high quality tee. Then I add a jacket. Go-to jackets include a white blazer w gold buttons from Veronica beard, a cropped camel wool number from sezane, or an oversized plaid blazer from Zara.

Shoes are often either a Gucci loafer (if you know you can tell, but there’s no logo on it), or a white platform sneaker, or a brown bootie from Dior (also no labels)

Then medium gold hoops, one or two chains, and friendship braclets from my daughters. I also ADORE a silk scarf and it’s a chic and underrated accessory. I have a handful of twillys from Hermes but also love a few of the impulse purchases for like $15 I’ve made on Amazon.

I’ll also throw on a bottega tote (no label) for the days I need to look really tight, but honestly normally running around w a company logo backpack from a retreat.

I just got back from a trip where I was surrounded by the millionaire girlies and the most killer accessory everyone had was sleeveless, high cut tops with absolutely ripped arms. So that would be fun to figure out how to get.

My monthly/yearly spread on my body feels insane right now for me but I do think it’s common….? Botox every four months, then once a year I do lasers or micro needling. I’m also probably spending $260 a week on a personal trainer and my yoga practice.

For context, I make about $800k a year, I’m one person removed from CEO at a 15,000 person company.

My energy is very bright and positive and confident at work. For better or worse, I believe at this level vibes are v important.
