One Work Read. Micro-aggressions, self-shielding, and the damage done to your advancement at work.

After so many years of writing this blog, I’ve set up a pretty solid collection of basics.  I have t-shirts, button-downs, neutral sweaters, jeans, etc. all covered.  So I’m hunting for unique pieces.  And the best place to do that is always Anthropologie.

I loved this color-block relaxed sweater for work from home.  This black floral button down looks great with a black suit.  And I finally bought the Ciao graphic tee I’ve been eyeing.  So if you’re in the market for something new and different, hit their site.
