I was basically roasted on my own platform, with many saying my skirt was too tight,…

So I’m 10 days into My Shopping Challenge and am feeling really good about it! In the spirit of sharing (it’s caring!), behold what I’ve scored thus far: 1. Zara’s Fringed Skirt: Damage: $70.

She Who Dares Style Diary: A Byron Lars Crawford Knit Sheath Dress and Tom Ford Padlock Pumps

A few days ago, I attended a talk called ‘She Who Dares,’ hosted by Colorcomm, an organization for women of color in communications. For the event, I slipped on a Crawford Knit Sheath Dress by Byron Lars, Tom Ford Padlock pumps, and Oscar de la Renta earrings. While the panelists had lots of wisdom to impart on how to be daring in your career, their musings on Success were the most salient to me. Someone asked, “What do you do…
