• SheFinds ponders what to do if you hate the color of the year (radiant orchid). (My $.02: don't wear it. That said, I'm sure it will come as a surprise to no one that fuchsia was actually one of my favorite colors in the crayon box — I still like it as a pop with navy and gray.)
• Popsugar Smart Living tells you eight reasons you didn't get the promotion. Meanwhile, Ask a Manager ponders whether you can inquire about salary before flying 1000+ miles for a job interview. (We've also talked about long-distance job hunting here.)
