I read somewhere years ago that the first thing a job interviewer notices about you is your watch. Honeslty, I think they really notice whether your nails are clean, but pretending to check out your watch is a great way of coveirng up that move. Still, should you wind up in a position... »
More and more I’m seeing women choosing the fun embellishment of a hat to their casual outfits. Usually it’s a cab hat, a fedora, or some flapperesque knit concoction.
