Anchor/Reporter dresses under $50

Here are anchor/reporter dresses under $50! It’s hard sometimes finding dresses in our business because it’s very “old school.” Do you know what I mean? News is like the only business left that still wears business dresses like this. I find it kind of funny!

I’ve found Nordstrom Rack, Calvin Klein, and Amazon have the BEST dresses for anchors and reporters. 

I’m going to aim to post “Dresses under $50” each week! Hope this helps 🙂

Trip home to New Jersey

– Work-life balance –

It’s all about balance baby! A lot of times when you work in the News industry, it’s a struggle to have a work-life balance.

I don’t have any tips myself on that because I struggle with keeping work as work, and life as life.

I went home for about a week! It was a nice chunk of time home to decompress. It was the first time in a while that I only picked up the work phone a FEW times (that’s an improvement). In this industry, you don’t want to be out of the loop about what’s going on, but you also don’t want to obsess over what you’re missing.

We don’t get unlimited paid time off, summer Fridays, or most holidays off. That’s why when we have time off – we need to treat it as time off! Writing this is a mental note for myself too, HA!

I went home for a wedding with my boyfriend’s family for the first half of my trip, then to the shore, and then lastly to my parent’s house.

It felt like a short trip just because of everything I had planned. That’s the other hard thing. When you move away from home and then come back, there are so many people, places, and things you want to do and see in just a few days. Another struggle of the work-life balance.

It was an amazing trip. Coming back to your home after a vacation back to your hometown is ALWAYS bittersweet. But, you remember, it’s all a part of the news ~journey~

See you soon New Jersey!

AMAZON PRIME DAY – dresses, blouses and accessories

amazon prime day

Today is Amazon Prime Day, I compiled some finds that are ideal for working in the field or behind the desk!

I’ve found that loafers, where the bottom is similar to a sneaker base, are the most comfortable (other than an actual sneaker) while in the field.

Franco Sarno makes amazingly comfortable and cute shoes! You can find them on Amazon, too!
