1) When to speak up in tricky office situations. (Career Contessa via. C&C)

2) This Tahari ASL suit adds a bit of zing to the basic black skirt suit.

3) Beauty mag drops term “anti-aging”  due to stigma about growing older. (Allure)

4) Under-$75 at Nordstrom: a ruffle-sleeve top, a going-out top, a long cardigan.

5) Ask a Boss: I hate my new employee. (The Cut)

6) Celine Dion makes bags now? And they’re actually awesome?

7) Send the Breast Pump with the Defense Attache. (NYTimes)

8) New from M&S: a wide stripe tee, a fluted skirt, a red bell sleeve sweater.

9) Meet the winners of the 2017 Real Women Style Awards. (Redbook)

10) A lipstick that goes on clear then turns into your perfect hue. Very cool.

11) True stories from a Plaza Hotel butler. (Time)

12) Earrings for work (Kate Spade abalone studs) and for play (Madewell enamel drops).
