Defiant Gen Z employee hits back over ‘inappropriate' outfit claims — saying she wants to ‘free the nipple'
From pajama-like clothes to activewear, Zoomers are making controversial couture choices at the office. Now, one Gen Z fashionista is taking things to the next level, with critics accusing her of dressing like she's heading to a nightclub, not a place of employment. Victora Olegario, 21, regularly uploads images of the outfits she wears to her job at a New York City-based modeling agency. The ensembles often feature micro shorts or show the employee baring her midriff. Last month, Olegario went viral after sharing one particularly divisive outfit. The brunette rocked an army green outfit featuring knee-high boots, a skirt with a slit and a one-shoulder strappy top, with a cardigan draped over her shoulders. 3 She shared one particular outfit on July 7 that ended up going viral, garnering 718,200 views. X/@voguepearls While some supporters insisted she looked great, others were baffled by her decision to dress in such an outfit for the office. 'It's an office, not COACHELLA. People need to understand the places, and the dress code,' one person replied in a post that received 6.2 million views and over 1,200 interactions. 'I love it for a festival or going to a club, but not for an office, very out of place and forced.' Many people pointed out that the user works in fashion and it's highly possible that her outfit choices are appropriate for her specific workplace. 3 Victora Olegario regularly shares her outfits she wears to her job in fashion at a NYC-based modeling agency. X/@voguepearls Olegario subsequently told People that she prefers to wear clothes that represent her 'young wild and free spirit' — and that's not business casual. 'The younger generation isn't interested in dressing in stuffy monotone outfits every day like they did in the 1950s,' she said. And those who argued that she can dress this way due to her job in fashion were seemingly correct. 'Personally, my coworkers were complimenting my outfit but stay mad over your dress code!' she wrote in one of her replies. 'As long as you're not naked, you can wear whatever you want,' Olegario insisted. 3 'As long as you're not naked, you can wear whatever you want.' Olegario said of her office. X/@voguepearls She added that she wished more places of work would lean into a casual dress code. 'Office dress culture should be a lot more lenient than it currently is,' Olegario said. Her specific job allows her to express herself through her outfits and accessories. Olegario described her style as an 'amalgamation of different eras of rock and roll,' noting influences such as Stevie Nicks and Janis Joplin, and her outfits range from loose form to tight clothing. Plus, she's a 'huge fan' of not wearing a bra. 'I think we as a society just need to free the nip,' she explained. Regardless, Olegario said that she doesn't usually respond to hate comments because she 'knows better,' considering she's had her account since she was just 14 years old. 'But if I'm in the mood to be a bitch, I'll match their energy and say something catty or sarcastic,' she admitted.

What It Means When You Fall for Your Psychiatrist
All products featured on Self are independently selected by Self editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, Condé Nast may earn an affiliate commission. Sergey Narevskih/Stocksy/Adobe Stock When you think about what you might get out of therapy—emotional breakthroughs, clearer boundaries—falling in love with the person across the room probably isn't high on the list. And yet, that exact scenario is what's sparking a wave of discourse (and controversy) on social media. In a viral, multi-part series, one TikTok user explained how she developed feelings for her psychiatrist—a confession that quickly opened up a conversation about what's normal (and what's not) when bonds form in the therapy room. Was this genuine love? A boundary violation? A projection of the patient's fantasies? According to mental health experts, part of what this TikToker experienced (at least, to an extent) is more common than you'd think—and that taboo, crush-like connection has a name: Transference. What is 'transference'—a common reason why people get attached to their psychiatrists? In a lot of shows—Suits, Sopranos, You—there's often a flirtatious spark (or full-blown sexual tension) brewing between a patient and their provider. But in real life, an intense attraction toward your therapist or psychiatrist may not be about them at all. In psychology, transference is when you unconsciously redirect emotions, desires, and expectations from someone in your past (say, a parent or ex) onto your provider, Lauren Larkin, LMHC, a New York City-based therapist, tells SELF. That explains why a person with abandonment issues, for instance, might get unusually attached to a therapist who offers the steady, nonjudgmental support they never had from an inconsistent partner. Or why someone dealing with deep loneliness might interpret their psychiatrist's attention and warmth as a sign of genuine friendship—when really, they're just doing their job. Sometimes, this dynamic can even evolve into what's called erotic transference. In this case, romantic or sexual feelings enter the mix, Jessi Gold, MD, psychiatrist, chief wellness officer at the University of Tennessee System, and author of How Do You Feel?, tells SELF. It might show up as a patient who's personally insulted when their therapist is OOO and needs to reschedule. Dr. Gold adds that it could manifest as a sudden curiosity about the therapist's personal life—a desire to know details unrelated to your care, such as their dating life, family background, or attachment style. As intense as erotic transference may sound, the reason it's pretty common is simple: In sessions, 'the client often feels heard, cared for, and accepted,' Larkin explains. 'So it's easy to confuse those professional, relational feelings for romantic love.' But that doesn't mean your connection is actually romantic—or even real in the way it may feel in the moment. That's because 'you can't truly be in love with someone you don't know,' Erin Runt, LMFT, a Chicago-based licensed therapist, tells SELF. 'A patient might think they know their therapist or psychiatrist, but in any professional setting with the right boundaries, they don't.' So often, what seems like infatuation is actually about what the therapist symbolizes—things like comfort, approval, and validation. What therapists do when their patient catches feelings Transference is so common, that it's something most therapists are trained to prepare for and handle. Rather than ignoring what can seem like an uncomfortable or inappropriate crush, Dr. Gold says the standard protocol is to address the tension directly. Otherwise, important boundaries can become even more blurred, making your mental health treatment less effective (or even more harmful) in the long run. To navigate this dynamic, Runt says she'd typically start by explaining to the patient what transference is, reassuring that it's natural and exploring what might be behind those feelings. (Are you craving attention from a parent? Feeling unheard in your love life?) From there, it might also require reinforcing firmer boundaries, Larkin adds—like prohibiting contact outside of sessions (unless in the case of emergencies) or rejecting physical gestures like hugs. In taking these precautions, it's possible the therapeutic relationship may rupture as a result, meaning some clients might decide to walk away. And in certain situations, psychiatrists could find it more appropriate to refer them to a new provider, especially in more ethically complex situations (such as when the patient is continuously pushing boundaries and trying to pursue a romantic relationship). Given the intimacy and vulnerability involved in therapy, feeling a little attached happens (with or without an 18-part TikTok exposé). Still, that doesn't mean the connection is truly romantic—and any ethical, well-trained professional is equipped to keep those lines crystal clear.
