Hi
My company is partly earned by a PE company. I am being promoted to a very senior position in my company. It’s been quite a surprise and I have been invited to the PE company head office in London to meet the senior leadership there. I do work with one Senior VP from there but he always comes to us. Everyone else I haven’t met. I was told on Friday and the meeting is Wednesday morning.
I have no idea what to wear. I was going to wear my favourite M&S tapered office trousers with this jumper and some loafers. I am a size 20. But I am now panicking that my outfit is not appropriate at all. To relaxed. But worrying my usual ‘big meeting’ outfit might be too dressy. I also carry weight on my stomach (PCOS belly). But my hips are quite wide compared my my waist.
I am really getting inside my own head. I often feel out of my depth. I know I am really good at my job. But I am not from a privileged background, not university educated, a single parent and I often feel completely alien around these people.
Anyone got any ideas of what would be appropriate? Or know what’s been worn in these sorts of offices?
