There are lots and lots of articles out there about what to wear to an interview. And depending on the job you are interviewing for, this can be very good and applicable advice. However, there is much less advice on how to dress for that first day once you have landed the new job. Obviously, […]
Some of us may have a closet full of shoes and others may only have one pair. Realistically I think the goal should be somewhere in between, depending on your lifestyle. If you go hiking every weekend, then hiking boots would be essential. If you are a runner, then a good pair of sneakers are […]
While you are in the middle of a new regimen to lose weight, it can be frustrating that your old clothes no longer fit but you are not quite ready to buy an entirely new wardrobe. When you are in between sizes, it can be awkward because things start to fit strangely and sag in […]
