    They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression, so looking your best for an interview should be number one on your list. You'll be nervous enough as it is, so with the right ensemble, at least your mind can be free to fret over your resume (or whether your breath is fresh... Read More »

    For 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. But this could potentially become an easy style trap. Arrive in your flip-flops and teensy... Read More »

    Shopping 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.

    I 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. So many offices are business casual these days, and so many of us are working from home or part time or in non-traditional fields, and it’s hard to know how to wear a suit, or even if you really need one in the first place.
