Hey Kat, for us unfortunate gals who can’t make it to your AK events, why don’t you post a write-up of how they go? I would love to find out what it’s all about and what advice you, AK and Instyle all shared (and which great outfits you featured).
I think that’s a great idea, and one I’ll talk over with AK and InStyle.
I second that idea!
I have a “mommy track” job, and I love it! I’m not a mom and I love working, but I also love spending time outside of work, with my pets, reading, dancing,traveling, exercising, taking classes, volunteering, getting involved in organizations, sewing, and otherwise just enjoying life. I feel very lucky to have negotiated a position that’s less than full-time, has a decent salary (not a law firm salary, but something between non-profit and gov’t), a flex schedule, and interesting work that I enjoy doing.
