Every wardrobe has that seemingly magical piece that can’t bring yourself to get rid of. The top that ensures the second date. The suit that makes you strut. The lucky pendant that just makes you feel…safer and more confident. It’s why I haven’t been able to get rid of this jacket that I’ve had for the past eight years, despite the fact that the inner lining is ripped to shreds. A long, denim jacket that fits snugly around the waist, purchased in an H&M in Graz, Austria, it’s been getting compliments for as long as I’ve had it. Putting it on makes me feel like an instant superhero.
Your business attire should make you feel the same way. At the very least, you should have one winning outfit that you wear to consultations and business meetings (you know…when you’re not sitting in front of your computer in pjs and fuzzy socks…). This outfit should make you feel invincible, unstoppable, the right one to do the job.
After the jump, some pieces I wouldn’t mind having in my closet. Bonus: I struggle to put together a men’s outfit as well. (Unfortunately, I’m no Stacey or Clinton.)
For the longest time, I was using one of the kitchen chairs in my home office, and it was not comfy. Later, I actually carried an old office chair — bound for the scrap heap — from my office in Manhattan to my home in New Jersey piece by piece. It was better than the kitchen chair, but not by much, My dream? The Aeron, pictured above. The problem? $1,255.

I’m a huge fan of organizational products, which is why I spend so much time in the Container Store, skipping from aisle to aisle, breathless with excitement and drooling over cabinets and bulletin boards.
(My runners-up? Staples and HomeGoods.)
Sometimes, though, I want the luxury version of my typical office supplies.
Which is why I’m currently hyperventilating over the desk caddies above, available from lustable online shop Room Service Home.
At the end of last week, I posted about end times for journalism. But the truth is, the lot of us can be cranky even when there is work to be had, and AngryJournalist is always willing to let you know why.
After the jump, some Ts from her shop, that allow all you bitter journalists out there to wear your heart on your sleeve.
Okay, so this isn’t the prettiest clock on the block, but it is one of the most customizable:
Need some help around the office, but can’t afford an in-house assistant? Mr. P to the rescue!
At the moment, the items I have that plug in with USB cable are my scanner, my digital camera, my webcam, my iPod and, of course, my flash drive. As I have a mere two USB ports on my computer, located on the back of it, swapping these items in and out can be a royal pain in the ass.
Just the other day, I posted about the must-have items for the freelancer on the go. Later that day, I followed a link to ReadWriteWeb, which had posted on a similar topic, but with a digital twist.
Over at Nerve, I blog about products you need, products you’ll love, and products you probably don’t need but, gosh, they’re so nifty! (My work there gave me the idea to have a regular products feature here at Freelancedom.) During the course of all this blogging, I’ve found many prepackaged “survival” kits, which got me thinking… what could a freelancer on the go use in a survival kit? After the jump, the 6 items I came up with.
