Other Women: Who's back to wearing Suits outfits post-pandemic?

I started in a client facing role and basically dressed like that for years even after I moved to IBD until the pandemic.

Post pandemic I gave away almost all of my pencil skirts, sheath dresses etc, and have not worn a 4 inch heel. I've push the boundaries with tailored sweatpants and I can't go back lol. 

It's so freeing and I'm so irritated that I've been suffering through physical discomfort for years. Wearing a bloody pencil skirt while sitting down 12-14 hours a day is nuts. Risking twisting my ankle in a 4 inch heel while I hurry to keep up with my male colleagues is nuts. Spending a few grand a year on work clothes while my male colleagues tailor 5 cheapo shirts in a 3rd world country and wear them for the next 4 years is nuts.

The only reason I'm starting to dress a bit more "professionally" now is that I look young for my age and people don't think I've much experience, but it's still more freeing like stretchy knit dresses and flared skirts - basically if I can't sit like I do at home, I'm not wearing it

Anyone else doing the same?

I agree, no one should be doing that.

If you get blood on your clothes, you need to change clothes.

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?
