The trick: let your pants be the star of the show, and keep everything else super, super simple (a plain tank, maybe a boyfriend blazer, and simple gold hoops, and 100% definitely don't even think about wearing flats).

Next week I'm going to visit New York for the very first time (I'm really excited) and since I don't really know anybody in the city I hoped you could help me out with some advice...
Reader Question / The Health Insurance Issue
Hi Jordan!
I've been a reader from the beginning and really don't ever do things like send emails to bloggers I like (I prefer to be inspired and admire from afar) but I felt like you may be able (and more importantly, willing) to offer an honest answer to this question that a lot of people seem to gloss over while they're encouraging you to "strike out on your own!", "change your life", "take the leap" etc etc.

Salary Expectations
Reader liz_in_hr has honed the perfect statement to put in a cover letter that asks you to state your salary requirements:
"Per your request, I have calculated my salary requirements for the position of XXXX. Based on my research for regional salary standards for this position, as well as my work experience and education, I have determined that my salary requirement is between the annual range of $XX,000 and $XX,000. This figure is negotiable based on the requirements of the job and the company’s benefits package."
I do research on salary.com and other sites (i.e. industry professional job boards, such as pmi, shrm, iiba, etc.) and find what the salary range is for the job I'm looking for, and then take into account how much money I want to make. Generally you should expect to make 10-15% more than what you're making NOW when you move into the next role up."

Disclosure and De-Crumbing
Look, I get it: I am under more scrutiny for the tips and advice I provide because this is at heart a personal blog...and that opens me up to a lot more criticism than if, say, I was a staff writer for RealSimple.
