How Self-Aware Are You?
Harvard Business Review had an interesting article a few months ago about how self-awareness can be critical to career success, particularly as a leader, and I thought it might be interesting to discuss here. How self-aware are you, both internally and externally — and if you’re lacking one of those skills, how can you become … Read More about How Self-Aware Are You?
Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Gerarda Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I always forget about Elie Tahari — but I really like their dresses and suits and would put them on par with Reiss, Boss, and others. This “parrot red” dress looks great with sleeves and cool pleated neckline details; it’s … Read More about Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Gerarda Dress
Weekend Open Thread: Jeffrey Campbell
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. While the Stuart Weitzman strappy sandal is still going strong (ooh, with some colors on sale for 50% off), this pictured sandal with slightly thicker straps is just as sexy and feels a little more 2018 — and it’s more affordable to boot, with lots of reviewers … Read More about Weekend Open Thread: Jeffrey Campbell

Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Square Neck Blouse
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Friday, everyone! Loft seems to have decided that square-neck blouses are in right now — and I’m kind of into them, too. It’s not quite a boatneck and not as bra strap-baring as that neckline tends to be. It’s … Read More about Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Square Neck Blouse

Coffee Break: Pendulum 14-karat Gold-Plated Necklace
I think this is a gorgeous, sculptural, interesting but delicate necklace — and those are things that are very difficult to find all at once. I do think the length is going to be tough if you’re on the bustier side like I am, but if that doesn’t apply to you or you don’t care … Read More about Coffee Break: Pendulum 14-karat Gold-Plated Necklace
Small Political Actions to Take Each Week — No Matter What Party You’re In
Whether or not the current issue of separating immigrant families at the border has contributed to your outrage fatigue or spurred you into taking action (and/or brought you to tears, as it did even for an on-the-air Rachel Maddow), you may be looking for small political actions to take each week to make your voice heard … Read More about Small Political Actions to Take Each Week — No Matter What Party You’re In
Thursday’s Workwear Report: Cotton Knit Shift Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Finding dresses with sleeves and pockets can be very difficult — and finding one that’s not too tight and clingy can also be tough — so this strikes me as a great dress, especially because it comes in sizes XS–6X. You … Read More about Thursday’s Workwear Report: Cotton Knit Shift Dress
Suit of the Week: Brooks Brothers
For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning. In general, this feature is not about interview suits for women, which should be as classic and basic as you get — instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional.

Hobby Wednesday: How to Get Started with Digital Photo Books
On one of our older Hobby Wednesday posts, a reader noted that making digital photo albums were her jam — and I thought OH YES, me too. I made some great ones when I was younger with physical photos and mementos (my teenaged summer at Harvard Summer School is TOTALLY well documented, as is my … Read More about Hobby Wednesday: How to Get Started with Digital Photo Books
