I’ve been on a work trip since Sunday night. Our clients arrived yesterday. I’ve attended every event and plan to except the dinner for tonight. I have a skin condition that I would like to not display. The original hairstyle I chose to hide my condition unfortunately did not pan out well for my dress tonight and could not order anything from Amazon last night to arrive in time. I don’t want the stares. Also I should add I’m new to the company. And the dress I’m not feeling comfortable wearing it and don’t have any other options. I don’t know what to do here and have 12 hrs to come up with an excuse.
Update: about 30 minutes before the dinner I was on the phone with my manager discussing a client and ended up throwing up from having too much caffeine. I was able to put something together that actually still worked with the dress code. The final dinner I wowed everyone by being the best dressed so it made up for my anxiety from the day before. Thank you all for all of your help. I didn’t let fear win this time and never will 🤭 I’m getting what I want out of this lifetime. Good luck adulting everyone!
