I am office staff for a GC and going to a retreat at a casino. I am mostly going to be surrounded by peers.
The dress code was announced as formal but then retracted to business casual. I think the gray is slightly too tight but the black is too much black but the white is too stark! This is all I have to work with at the moment. Do I scratch all of this and start over or does one of these work okay?

My first time making homemade yogurt! It was delicious, I just forgot to take a picture before I stirred everything together.
I haven’t made a friend outside of work in my adult life. I’m in the thick of my career about to be promoted. I have two young kids. I don’t have time to go anywhere and I just wish I had female friends who are in the same stage of life.
Sometimes I get invited to SAHM activities(by my husbands friends wives) but they’re during the day while I’m at work and it just makes me sad. I don’t know how I am supposed to make friends with other working moms but I crave friendship!

I(27F) am married with two kids aged 2, and almost 1. I have a great career, working full time. I moved to this state a few years ago and have yet to make a single friend here. It feels impossibly honestly and I’m starting to think I’m just unlikeable lol(but I have many “work friends” and had plenty of friends in my home state).
I would love to make friends with people in similar life stages to me but it feels like all the other moms get together while I’m at work, and all the people my age who work don’t have kids and just want to go to bars and party. Or they’re just as busy and never have time. I live in a small town so there’s not a lot going on.
I genuinely crave connection to other women my age but dang if I can’t find anyone! I reached out to a local mom group and got a play date set up for my kids. I thought it went fine as all we talked about was the other ladies life and our kids but she ghosted when I asked about setting up another play date.
I also had made a connection to another mom at the park and they also ghosted after the first play date lol. My husband says he thinks it’s because I’m intimidating because I have rbf and I’m tall/lean and have a great job in a really low income area but twice is a pattern and I’m really second guessing if it’s my personality at this point…
It feels like everyone else just already has their friends and doesn’t need any more.
What am I doing wrong? I go to local events, I put myself out there to make connections and I’m just getting zilch.
