Several of you have sent e-mails and DMs asking for more business casual and casual work attire for women in senior roles and management. Offices are leaving professional attire behind in favor of denim and what one reader described as “dressy workout clothes.” So how do you dress like the boss when you need to […]
Are you tired of Gift Guides, yet? Yesterday, I got one from my accountant. My accountant. And I like Rick, but I am not so hard up for suggestions that anyone will find a one-year subscription to Quicken under the tree. But because how much we love and like people is not determined by how […]

Belle,
Are you suggesting that a tailored denim skirt is okay for work attire in DC? I follow the standard rule of thumb to avoid denim, yet the pictures of the skirts you posted are quite stylish as well as conservative enough for work. What is your take on denim in the workplace?
