If you haven’t read all the way through the latest issue of Marie Claire yet, you’ll want to slip directly to page 139. That’s where CNBC anchor Becky Quick gives fashion advice to a twenty-seven year old Bank of America assistant bond trader Lucia Knight.
“Wall Street may be 95 percent men, but don’t dress like one,” Quick says. “But don’t dress like a girly-girl either.”
She also says she occasionally looked fat and garish in her early appearances on CNBC, and then immediately brags about being “petite.” More after the jump.
Overnight, I went from being a financial reporter for The Wall Street Journal who wore jeans to being on-camera. I only owned one suit, and I had to safety-pin the pants. Then I bought 10 cheap, garishly colored suits that hung all wrong. I looked at least 20 pounds heavier on the air.
Get measured by a tailor, and then seek out designers who cut for your body–Tahari works well for petite frames like mine. Since your work wardrobe doesn’t have to be this season, scour the outlets.
How to Dress for the Job You Want [Marie Claire]
Meee-ow, Carney.
GREAT article
Becky is pretty well business dressed in a completely not-whoring-it-up way; no wonder buffet is totally into it.
I’d hit it times 2
Carney – This is a Bess article. Please don’t post the same dumb stuff she does…
Bring back EP!
I wonder what Bess wears on a typical day….
It’s tough. On the one hand I liked EP’s posts, on the other hand the vitriol she spits if you even tried to challenge one of her assertions was pretty unpleasant to deal with
@ 2:49PM Fuck off
The Becker clearly knows how to control her media exposure. Street sweetie, take note.
Also, where is becky boot fan? should be all over this.
on her birthday and other special occasions, she wears the finest pelts of cambodian baby
hedge fund porn names are not dumb, 2:49. YOU’RE dumb.
@2:49….STFU
yes. kill yourself, 2:49.
Becky Quick is a serious PLAIN JANE … without the serious cosmetic alterations that she undergoes before getting in front of the camera you would probably rather throw down with Joe Kernen..
Same can be said for Lindsay Lohan. Take away all the make-up, dyed hair, fashion consultants and you are left with quintessentially AVERAGE…
@ 249 – please show yourself out.
I’m sure becky looked just fine in a pair od jeans as well.
Having run into Lindsay Lohan at the pool at the Beverly Hills Hotel, I can definitely say you are way off 3;21. She doesn’t pump those things up in the studio they are attached to her all the time!
What an enlightening comment thread.
She’s right on the money re the linen. I see so many people walking around the floor in the summertime with horribly wrinkled pants, and it just looks atrocious.
gg,
what size?
My two cents…
1) They’re both too young for me.
2) Lucia should be careful. Ms. Quick’s grin is that of a media hyena.
The Guy from Delaware
p.s. Erin’s legs aren’t even cold yet.
Too young for you?
Puberty is my cut off.
@3:28 – ?
Oh nooooo
Not the Delaware again
dress size?
@2:55 Bess wears extra-wide sweatpants all day long.
@3:59 bad dum dum. tool.
3:59 = idiot
Wow…what a woman!
My only complaint is that under “Must Haves” she left out the boots! Perhaps she just sports those in the fall/winter…and on trips to Omaha to please Warren. I want to play lion with her…she can bend over and growl, then I’ll slip her the meat.

She sure doesn’t wear a$$less chaps with Carney around playing dungeon master.
@3:59, that’s JC, when he’s not DD’ing it.
waaiiit a minute, BeckyBootFan is a DUDE?
I try to abide.
BeckyBootFan
heard it here first.
BeckyBootFan abides.
Golden girl, what u wearing today ?
@ TGFD – seriously, again w the women of age comments?
BL,
Nipples?
1 – 10
1 being a dime
10 being a Chips Ahoy Cookie
oops, she probably doesnt waste her time reading Carney’s comments.
@ 4:30 – A solid 7. Dark and taut with no visible veins or stray hairs.
Tapped it!
gotdam!
Chelsea Clinton Doppelganger anyone?
I don’t know, I prefer the advice given to a would-be fashion model:
“And always wear a nude Calvin Klein G-string, the industry standard.”

Now, John, you’ve to wear clothes in proportion to your physique. There are definite dos and don’ts, good buddy of wearing a bold striped shirt.

2.49 – you beat me … i tapped that only once, and it was gooooooood
God, I had to go to the dentist and didn’t have the opportunity to tell TGFD/TOGFD how much I wanted him to go away forever and never post on this website ever again.
@5:37: I hope you enjoyed your trip to the dentist, asswipe.
TOGFD
@4:06: redundant. all chaps are assless. additionally, they are frontless too.
before the 2nd half starts…
gg, I thought linen was suth’un thing- they wear that in what passes for summer up there?
Are you saying thongs and speedos are supposed to be worn with the bigger portion of fabric in the front????
~The Forehead Slapper

4:39:
I was asking BL, not you, Carney.
