By shefinds, on Thu May 22, 2008 8:40am PDTFor a generous handful of the working population, the arrival of Memorial Day signifies not only the start of summer, but also the beginning of casual Fridays, or for the truly lucky ones, half-day Fridays.

Going to the office in plus-size style
By Susan Wagner, on Thu May 15, 2008 8:13pm PDTShopping for plus-sized clothing can be a challenge; so many plus lines are filled with dowdy jumpers and shapeless tunics. It's even harder when you are searching for tailored clothes for the office, but tailored is precisely what you need when you are wearing a larger size. Pieces that are too big will make you look bigger; pieces that fit will make you look professional.

Yes, you need to own a suit
By Susan Wagner, on Wed Apr 2, 2008 11:05am PDTI grew up in the Yuppie ’80s, when women’s suits were essentially men’s suits with skirts and floppy bow ties (remember those? I had one that was hot pink with white polka dots–awesome). The idea was that in order to be taken seriously by the men in the office, you had to look like one of them, except of course that your suit had to have a skirt because pants were TOO masculine. It was hard to win, really.
Fortunately, women and their suits have come a long way in the past twenty years, but the suit is still a difficult wardrobe piece.
