Cheap Cheap! Unexpected Shoes Day Tuesday

Honestly, we started Shoes Day Tuesday with hopes that it would be an every other week post for a number of reasons.  First, they can be time consuming because we actually want to provide content not just a bunch of links to shoes we kind of like.  Second, since we're a 2-3 posts a week kind of blog at this point, we didn't want to feel too tied to a mandatory topic schedule as we feel it limits the topics upon which we can write.  Thus, we were not planning on posting anything for Shoesday Tuesday today.  However, in our quest to provide our 3 readers with super important information about current sales, we are breaking that rule.  Why? Because 6pm.com has these amazing Coach Devon pumps on mega sale in a ton of sizes.

They are available in black, shell (which looks like a rosy taupe), and fog (a perfect greige).  Which, if you read last week's Shoes Day Tuesday post, you would know is super exciting because every Real Working Girl should have a good pair of black and nude pumps in her wardrobe, so why not buy them on sale? Further, Katie 1 has these pumps in a snake print and can vouch for the comfort and quality so get thee to 6pm.com and get these shoes.  You can thank us later!

Workout Wednesday: The Push-up

We wanted to take today to discuss the benefits of one of the most useful (and hated) of all exercises: the push-up.  First off, why should you even care? It's a great exercise to do any time, any where. No equipment needed. It targets multiple muscle groups. Get a lot of bang for your workout buck. This is really 2b: It's good for your core. A strong core improves your posture and can help prevent lower back pain (something you will struggle with if you sit a lot during the day and as you're getting older).  Calorie-torching! (Let's call this one "2c".) Because you're using so many muscle groups, you burn more calories with a push-up than you will for other strength exercises that involve only one muscle. (Want to burn even more calories? Do a burpee- a push-up and a squat jump. They're awful. Katie 1 says that Katie 2, the primary author of this post, is evil for even mentioning burpees.) They can be done no matter your fitness level. Yo...

Sweater Weather

The time is upon us! There are a million ways we could divide up our recommendations for you today, but we've decided to go with just a few that are realistic needs for working women. That being said, we think everyone should invest in (at least a few) great cashmere sweaters. You don't have to spend an arm and a leg, either. Neiman Marcus Last Call and Lands' End ( yes, we really do love it ) offer some of the best cashmere for your buck. Wear to Work:  Because this is kind of the whole point of the blog... This might be the best recommendation we have for you. It's a completely basic crew neck sweater that is 100% cashmere. Oh, and it 's only $100. And it comes in 13 colors. Seriously. It doesn't get much better.  Katie 2 LOVES a turtleneck. She loved them in the late 80s and early 90s under her oversized sweaters and she loves them now. We don't like to recommend obvious places to shop, but Banana has been doing the classic turtleneck for years ...

It's 1,000 Degrees Outside- How to Stay Professional When It's Hotter Than Hell

Summer finally decided to arrive in Chicago. With highs in the 90s and 1,000,000% humidity, getting dressed for work in the morning was all sorts of fun. Which is probably a good thing for the three of you that read our blog. Why? Because it gives us content. Welcome to our guide for how to dress professionally for hot weather, because nothing says "Trust me, I'm a professional!" more than sweat stains and melting makeup. Here's what we have found that works for us: Clothing:  (The realm of the Katies) We're big fans of light, breathable fabrics on really hot days. Think cottons, light poly/rayon blends, ponte. We're particularly fond of cotton blend pencil skirts, full skirts, and ponte dresses. Cotton suiting is also worth a mention. For example, today Katie 1 wore this color block ponte sheath dress. We find this dress to be perfect for hot weather because the ponte fabric is breathable, comfortable, machine washable, and maintains its shape ev...
