Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
I recently pulled an old Polo Ralph Lauren sweater out of my closet for a casual office day, and one of my younger colleagues told me I was very “on trend.” I didn't tell her that the sweater in question was nearly as old as she was, and took the compliment with a smile. Preppy is back (did it ever leave?), so we might as well grab some of these comfy cardigans and lean into it.
This cream colored one will go nicely with just about anything this fall. I would wear it to work with a blue oxford and black trousers.
The sweater is $268 at Nordstrom and comes in sizes XS-XL.

Any recommendations for an affordable sleeper sofa that pulls out to queen size? We’re OK with various styles/colors but need it to be free of flame ret@rdants and reasonably comfortable for occasional overnight guests in our office. We have an Oxford sleeper from Room and Board that we’ve been pretty displeased with so we’d prefer not to spend that much again. I can’t tell if the IKEA Friheten pulls out to a full or queen size.
Paint advice – my son has his heart set on a medium/dark green room “like I am living in the trees”. But his room is teeny tiny (with 14 feet ceilings – Victorian tenement flat). Do I add a picture rail and do white above the rail so it doesn’t feel too claustrophobic? There’s one tall thin window and a black period fireplace.
It’s a myth that dark paint always makes a room claustrophobic. Check out the blog Laurel Bern interiors – I really like her paint guides.
I know this gets asked every so often. How long after an interview is appropriate to follow up if they said it would take a minute to get back to me? My interview was Thurs, Sep 10.
