Do: Dress Up For Work

One should always always put her best foot forward in the workplace. Just because it's okay to wear jeans and flip flops to your office doesn't mean you actually should. Take pride in yourself and in your work and put some effort into your look. No one will take a hoodie wearing, flip flop sporting woman seriously, and you're less likely to move up the work ladder. Uch, hoodies. *shudder*

There's no better time to update your work wardrobe than now. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fall for one reason: fall work clothes. Seriously, this is my favoritest season for work attire. The herringbones, the tweeds. The wines, grays, and pumpkins. The jackets, the pumps, the perfect cardigan weather. It all makes me so happy. *swoon*

I've culled the interwebs for some fun fall work pieces for you. Check them out below. If I worked, I'd be all over a few of these. Oh how I love fall.

Reader Question: Silver Strappy Heels

I need some silver strappy heels for a wedding I'm in. But I don't want to spend a fortune. Please help!

We continue our wedding season posts with something many of you might need help with - bridesmaid shoes. You may not be able to pick out your dress, but at least you can pick out your own shoes. So better make them as hot as possible :)

Here are a variety of strappy silver heel options I've culled from the interwebs, all $175 or less. I've even thrown in some lower heel options, taking into consideration you'll be on your feet for a very long day and night. I'm nice like that.
