1) All the hard questions you’re afraid to ask your boss, and how to ask them. (Refinery29)

2) This pale pink shimmer pencil skirt from ASOS is on my must-have list.

3) The rise of dating app fatigue, why Tinder is declining in popularity. (The Atlantic)

4) This Hazel Statement Necklace from Stella & Dot is perfect with a crewneck sweater.  And their embroidered choker is lovely and delicate (not to mention on trend).

5) How to write a post-interview thank you note (and a template). (Career Contessa)

6) This peplum sweater from Ted Baker is amazing.  Over peplums?  Try an open back sweater instead.

7) Meet the little-known black pioneer who designed dresses for America’s most-influential families. (Racked)

8) Ann Taylor’s scallop Mary Jane pumps are delightful.  Their crystal-studded block heels are perfect for holiday parties.

    Would you do a post on wearing two or three delicate necklaces – layered – and ways to keep them from getting tangled?

    LOVE that Olivia sweater. . .hate that its sold out in my size.

    re: #1… I thought at least one of those questions would be about sexual harassment at work. Not quite on Refinery’s mind, despite being on America’s!

    Dating app fatigue article is completely on point!

    ^ Yes, SM. Same. It’s real.

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours.
