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.
