***

1) A 5-step guide to surviving a social media mishap. Also, how social media is changing job-seeking. (Learnvest; Pew)

2) I love Elizabeth and James jewelry.  This $55 stone ring from Outnet is a must.  I adore this thin, simple bracelet with a black stone. For some sparkle, this Vida ring is the winner.

3) Cover letters are dead: How to change your resume to compensate. (Fast Company)

4) This silver Nine West pointed-toe flats are a must. Can’t wait til mine arrive!

5) Dipping the pen in the company ink?  A survey of office romance. (Vault)

6) Tweed is cool, not fussy in this LOFT Tweed Moto jacket.  And this striped-tweed jacket from Ann Taylor has a hint of fringe and a bit of pink.

7) More than half of jobs are never advertised.  A strategy for finding the ‘hidden’ jobs. (Women’s Weekly)

8) The end-of-winter sales are calling my name. This Lafayette 148 peplum dress is fab.  I love (and own) this Trina Turk Florence Popover, also in red.  For under-$100, try this drop-waist Ralph Lauren.

9) I hate mornings, but I loved reading about the morning routines of 12 successful people. (Levo)

10) Need a gym bag for lunchtime workouts?  This Adidas for Stella McCartney bag in pink is perfect.  Need something under-$50?  I like this Sherpani gym tote.

11) Balancing parenthood and entrepreneurship (career) while helping other parents do the same. (The Washington Post)

12) The dramatic ruffle on this Balenciaga ivory jacket stops my heart.

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.

Three Outfits I’ll Wear All Spring

When I started this blog, influencers still re-wore clothes. There were no haul videos filled with the latest from Shein before it winds up in a beach in Ghana poisoning the planet. There were no sponsored campaigns delivering fresh wardrobes each month. The content machine doesn’t like reruns.
