When you can wear jeans to work.
Working from home doesn’t mean you shouldn’t dress for work. There’s magic and power in getting dressed for a work day that leads to increased productivity. Clothes should be business casual, but comfy enough to not restrict a power nap. Have some coffee, then nap for about 30 minutes. I guarantee the most productive afternoon session of your life.
“You should bring your whole self to work…and I bring even the fullness of my Ghanian heritage to the office because that’s important. Representation matters and my global experience matters. When I’m wearing my African print skirt, I don’t see that as not corporate wear. I’m fully here and 100 percent of everything that I am. And that’s a positive thing.” - Bozoma Saint John, Chief Marketing Officer at Endeavor.
Previously, she served as Chief Brand Officer at Uber until June 2018
Who said that birds don’t belong in the workplace? You all know how much I love a bow blouse. By adding a solid print like this you make a big statement, but in a very refined and elegant way.

A perfectly tailored suit (in pinstripe or plaid) is in season now. However, given how easy this look is to pull off, and that these suits never go out of style, I’d say this is a buy-now and wear-forever work look.

The new Cato 2018 Paid Leave Survey of 1,700 adults finds that nearly three-fourths (74%) of Americans support a new federal government program to provide 12 weeks of paid leave to new parents or to people to deal with their own or a family member’s serious medical condition. A quarter (25%) oppose establishing a federal paid leave program. Support slips and consensus fractures for a federal paid leave program, however, after costs are considered.
The survey found 54% of Americans would be willing to pay $200 a year in higher taxes, a low-end estimate for a 12-week federal paid leave program. However, majorities of Americans would oppose establishing a federal paid leave program if it cost them $450 a year in higher taxes (52% opposed) or $1,200 a year in higher taxes (56% opposed), the mid-range and high-range cost estimates respectively.
These low-, mid-, and high-range cost estimates are based on the most high-profile federal paid leave program proposed to date: The Family and Medical Insurance Leave Act (FAMILY Act).
The survey also did not ask questions about what paid leave policies Americans would like to see offered at private companies. Instead, the Cato 2018 Paid Leave Survey focuses on what people think about establishing a government-provided paid family leave program at the federal level.
