Here’s what ol’ Jack Welch thinks about the work/life balance:

Can anyone comment on the quality of the Semantiks brand at Nordstrom?
I kinda like this jacket, including the price:

I think it is still somewhat conservative. Not for court (maybe) but around the office or even to a depo. To brighten up dark fall and winter days????
Thank you for the tip about Nordstom’s sale. I bought a cute Nanette Lepore suit.
Re: the Semantiks brand, I’ve had great experiences with it. Just bought 4 suiting pieces (sheath dress, jacket, blouses) at the anniversary sale. I’ve really liked the quality in seasons past and am looking forward to getting good use out of these.
This is unrelated to Semantiks (great brand, by the way), but does anyone else live in an area where J. Crew sells only ultra-casual and business casual clothing? I am fairly certain the stores in my area sell very little if anything on the dressier side.
