I always … Read More about Thursday’s Workwear Report: High Waist Asymmetrical Pencil Skirt

I know readers were just discussing someone’s first good watch purchase, and this probably won’t fill that “basic watch you wear everywhere” kind of need. But it sure is a pretty and fun watch, isn’t it? I first noticed the more minimal style of the ivory/gold version, but this green/gold one is gorgeous. It’s $395 … Read More about Coffee Break: ‘Izzie’ Square Leather Strap Watch
One of our top posts of all time is one a friend suggested I write, back in the early days of the blog: how to dress professionally if you’re busty. We haven’t offered busty women style tips in a while, so I thought we’d discuss. But let me be clear at the outset: there’s nothing inherently … Read More about 10 Workwear Style Tips for Busty Women
