***

1) How an intimidating work assignment can be just the boost your career needs. (Fortune)

2) Long sweaters are a fall staple for me.  This $20 H&M sweater is a great piece.  Plus-size? Try this v-neck from ASOS Curve.

3) A new website helps you find “nude” products in any skin tone. #finally (Elle)

4) Two show-stoppingly gorgeous dresses from ASOS: This blush pencil dress with ruffle sleeve, and this gold-button detail dress from Vesper.  Both under-$100.

5) Why a self-help guru owns only 15 possessions. Talk about traveling light. (The New York Times)

6) Need chic bathroom storage? This $10 Nate Berkus marble container is fabulous, as is this blush ombre toothbrush holder.

7) The science behind “dressing for success.” (The Atlantic)

8) Pendleton is killing it.  I am obsessed with their ‘Thunder Quarrel’ blanket.

Giveaway: Over on Instagram, I’m hosting a giveaway for this cool ‘My Bucket List’ guided journal.  Just follow the instructions on the post to enter.  Winner will be chosen Friday.

    The first ASOS dress isn’t linking properly.

    Having worked for two politicians who have been been in legal troubles (including one boss who just flat out doesn’t use email), I wholeheartedly agree with that graphic. As a Hill staffer, my salary, work history, emails are pretty much public and anything that isn’t, people think should be, so I never assume that anything I put out there is ever private. You might have a legal right to privacy but that doesn’t mean that right can’t be infringed upon and once something gets out, there’s no putting it back in.

Another month has come and gone, and between a busy work schedule, illness and the search for new childcare, I almost forgot to ask for questions for the AMA.  Luckily, I remembered late last night.  So here we go.

You Have, You Need: Camel Sweater Edition

In the name of fiscal responsibility, I’m taking a shopping respite through the end of the year.  When you write a fashion blog, not shopping is like being a person on a diet who moves into a McDonald’s.  But I’m determined to flex some self-discipline now that my holiday shopping is done.

Add to Cart: Five Recent Amazon Purchases

Since my daughter was born, Amazon has claimed so much of my money that I had to buy stock just to get some of it back.  Between the formula, onesies, fruit pouches, diapers, wipes, and ever evolving list of baby development gear, I could not survive without Prime.   My husband no longer notices the […]
