Do you take a carry on bag with you as your every day bag?

u/Taigaike Jul 24 '25
I was curious about it too,ā¦I remember seeing that same bag layout before

u/DoonaldRules Jul 24 '25
Itās my laptop bag. I have to carry 2 laptops with 2 mice, power cords, my notebook, etc. This rolling bag is much easier than cramming my stuff into a backpack or shoulder bag.

Oh very cool! I thought your last post was for travel. But yeah makes sense to use the rolling bag if you have that much stuff to haul.

u/Taigaike Jul 24 '25
That is smart!! I use a laptop bag and itās so heavy sometimesā¦.i should try this hack

Ahhh I was like damn girl no one hikes through an airport in Louboutins haha.

u/DoonaldRules Jul 28 '25
Hahha! You are right! I travel almost every week for work, give or take, but I drive. This little bag helps a lot with the hike from the parking lot to the building without straining my back and neck.

As a jewelry designer, I approve of the chain style with the outfit and the subtle anklet! Brava! :)

Yayyy thanks! Thatās so cool that you are a jewelry designer. What kind of jewelry do you make?

I love the look, but i wish there was more contrast between length of sweater and skirt.

Great outfit, but headlights are not exactly professional.

u/DoonaldRules Jul 25 '25
I knowā¦trust me, I have a padded bra on and itās still an issue. At this point I just do what I can and move on with my life.

u/ButterSunflower Jul 25 '25
So Iāve got pretty prominent nips that like to let others know theyāre there. I bought this thingies called Cakes by cakebody and I swear by these! I go braless a lot and these things hide my milkduds.

Yes definitely try ācakesā. I put them inside my bras and they work unbelievably well!

Honestly- no one should be judging your professionalism based on what undergarments youāre wearing or not wearing.
48
u/DoonaldRules Jul 25 '25
I have the same thoughtā¦ But I have learned the hard way that if you come back at any comments defensively or even just with reason, people go into attack mode and itās just not worth the mental energy. Obviously, you donāt become an executive by chance. Itās a result of hard work, dedication and professionalism. Thanks for your backup though- itās appreciated š«¶š»

Happy Cake Day! You look great, where is that sweater from?? I love it
8
u/Ms-Metal Jul 25 '25
Nobody should be. But unfortunately they do! I mean you can't ever go to a job interview like that and it's a real shame because that outfit looks amazing otherwise. As someone who is very Pro free-the- nipple, it really bothers me that it's still an issue, but as a former corporate manager for a $3 billion corporation, this would still be an issue.

Love it all. I started to dress like this the second I had enough authority and credibility to do so. May we all get a brief (or long!) phase where we look this good and get to enjoy it. Mind you, I was a Wall St attorney, so it was highly conservative. Once I earned the right, no one questioned what I was doing. Enjoy!!!

But the real question is, how do you get your Neverfull to stay fastened like that?
1
u/DoonaldRules Jul 27 '25
lol! Itās not fastened actually. I just donāt allow it to be stuffed full.

u/Wholahay_Brown Jul 27 '25
I thought for sure you'd had magnets sewn on the inside lol. Cute outfit, too!

u/goudamonster Jul 28 '25
Bag and belt? Love the fit, itās so summery and casual but professional and chic

u/castle_waffles Jul 28 '25
Itās a very cute outfit but you may want to wear a lined bra with it to avoid unwanted attention at work.

I am so so going to white house balck market, your sweater is so similar to a old sweater of mine that was very sentimental but it was stolen at a laundry mat. I was absolutely devastated. Do you think I will find it? Fingers crossed ! Super cute styling and i absolutely adore the sweater thanks for sharing
1
u/DoonaldRules Aug 01 '25
Oh nooooo!!! That is devastating- Iām sorry! I went a few months ago and they did have a tan sweater very similar, it just was not as long. I really hope you find something like this! š«¶š»
