One year ago, we pondered gift-giving styles (asker vs guesser!), reassessed our 401Ks, and talked about how our offices were handling the pandemic way back then.

This time last year, we discussed how to take a mental health day, whether political groups should be on your resume, and had an open thread about the best things you’ve done for yourself that have made you happier.

This time last year, we talked about generational divides in the workplace, featured the money snapshot of a partner at a law firm, and went on a hunt for strappy pumps.

This time last year, we rounded up the best knitting and sewing patterns for workwear outfits, asked the readers what kind of foundation they’re wearing, and featured the money snapshot of a 27-year-old manager at a tech startup in D.C..

This time last year, we discussed what NOT to wear to work, as well as whether or not piercings are acceptable at the office these days. We also did a money challenge, and rounded up the best hiking gear for women.
