Good morning!
Yesterday morning I had the opportunity to introduce a panel of respected colleagues at an event organized by myself and fellow young leaders in my field. It's very valuable to get involved in industry organizations and take part in those events. There were over 80 people attending this panel discussion and it was fully developed and organized by young leaders. We were glad to have highlighted an important issue in affordable housing today (supportive and homeless housing) and facilitated a fruitful discussion among established leaders in the field. These affiliations are a great way to bring about positive change within your broader work community and at the same time positively impact your resume and career network.
Given that there was a substantial audience and it was the first time my group had developed a panel of this kind, I wanted to wear something sharp but also summery as it was a beautiful day in NYC. I decided on this navy stripe sheath dress from JC Penny paired with a white blazer from Forever 21. I opted for traditional pearl accessories to offset the linear nature of the stripes. As always, best thing about this outfit is the price.
