Thursday’s Workwear Report: V-Neck Sheath Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I looove this dress, but the sizing confuses me. Right now, it is available in sizes 10-18; a very similar dress also by Kasper comes in 8-16. But… did the smaller sizes sell out? Is the sizing scale really odd?

For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning.

Gift Idea: Leather Journals
I’m a sucker for a good leather journal. I used to haunt Kate’s Paperie in January for sales, but there are so many beautiful options online now, who needs to?

So here’s today’s little gift idea, which I think would be perfect for stocking stuffers: gourmet gum.

Performance reviews can be a bit intimidating, but they can also be great learning experiences, particularly when you get critical feedback. For today’s open thread, I thought we’d discuss: What’s the best feedback you’ve ever received in a performance review?

Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I think this top is really, really pretty. I nearly included it in my roundup of ideas for holiday office party outfits, but ultimately decided the peekaboo lace was a bit too… well, peekaboo for most work events.
