Many people have asked for ideas for work outfits, especially for offices with a more corporate dress code. We’re working on a post, and also we’d love to see yours! Do you have a go-to work outfit (or two) that you like? If so, please email a casual snapshot to hello@cupofjo.com. Thank you so much! xoxoxo
Plus, two fun reader comments.
Says Shelley on four fun things: “Cannot wait for Curb Your Enthusiasm! I missed Larry so much. When my husband and I got married eight years ago, we were completely absorbed with the show. So, at our wedding, we had the DJ play the theme song as we greeted our friends and family before dinner. It was the perfect mix of cheesy/silly to loosen us up. My husband and I aren’t that comfortable in the spotlight, and the music acted like a little wink to remind us to enjoy the absurdity of it all.”
Says Kelly on being friends with your parents: “To this day, every time I walk into a Target, I remember seeing my second-grade teacher there once, and because I thought I was so grown up at that point, I said ‘Jane? Is that you?’ I was 10.”
