The 5 Most Annoying Workwear Problems for Women, Solved
The Wall Street Journal | Contributor

Ballet flats are for-sure chic but high-end options can cost four figures and the style doesn’t offer a lot of support. “I love the idea of an oxford shoe for women because it sends a subtle nod to old-school men’s dress,” said New York City stylist Joanna Lovering, who sends clients to Cole Haan.
“Let’s be real,” said Ms. Lovering. “The old secure-it-with-a-safety-pin trick is overused. And we can always see the pin.” She points her clients to Universal Standard, whose Elbe Popover Stretch Poplin Shirt dispatches the button bulge via its half-placket design, generous arm holes and a smidge of elastane.

How to effectively deal with jealousy at work
Fast Company | Contributor

If you feel like the person is open to chatting, it could be helpful to ask questions to get at the root of the jealousy, says Joanna Lovering, executive presence coach and the founder of Copper + Rise. “Sometimes, the presenting problem is not really a core of what’s going on,” she says. “What’s typically at the core of jealousy is fear. Fear of losing their job, fear of being embarrassed, fear because of impostor syndrome. If you can help that person get to the root of that here, the jealousy will fall away, and you will have a much better relationship with this person.”

Glass Door | Contributor
When you’re not actively engaged in a conversation, it’s best to keep your microphone off, says Joanna Lovering, executive coach, workplace psychologist, and founder of Copper + Rise. “I realize the quote of the year is ‘you're on mute’ because people forget to unmute themselves,” she says, but “that is no excuse for forgetting rule No. 1 of basic Zoom etiquette: mute yourself when you’re not talking. You’d be surprised what sounds your microphone can pick up.”

Track what’s going well. As humans, we tend to zero in on our shortcomings rather than celebrating our achievements. Also, we are often too critical of what’s considered a ‘win.’ While most of us would say getting a raise is a biggie, we might also be tempted to say that making it through a week without hitting snooze is insignificant. But it’s not! That’s why it’s important to track all of your accomplishments, no matter how large or small, so you have data points that boost your self-esteem, according to Joanna Lovering, an executive presence coach and the founder of Copper + Rise. You can call this a ‘What’s Working & Wins,’ record, an ‘Accomplishment Journal,’ or whatever you’d like.

Online clothes shopping sucks for short people. Can tech fix that?
Input Mag | Contributor
Eighty percent of garment returns are size-related, according to Joanna Lovering, founder and style coach of Copper + Rise, a New York-based style coaching service. “In order to combat the whole ‘buy multiple sizes of the same item and only keep one’ mindset, there are few apps that help the customer accurately measure themselves with their mobile phones and sync the measurements to the brand’s sizing chart,” she says.

Interviewers Are Looking for Emotional Intelligence—So Be Prepared for These Questions
The Muse | Contributor
When you get a “Tell me about a time…” question, or others assessing EQ, answer using the STAR method, advises Joanna Lovering, an executive presence coach and workplace psychologist at Copper+Rise. Describe the situation (S), explain your task (T), lay out the specific actions you took (A), and end with the results of your efforts (R). “This shows a proven record of emotional intelligence instead of simply being able to talk about it,” Lovering says.

Zooming In: Fashion stylist Joanna Lovering On How To Create Comfy Chic Outfits
The Boca Raton Observer | Featured Expert
“Work-life balance is all about routines and boundaries. Working from home can blur those lines significantly, so we have to be even more proactive with them,” Lovering says. Clothing can help you define those spaces of your life more clearly. “Treat your day, when it comes to your work clothing routine, the same as when you were going into the office. Specifically, get dressed at about the same time you would have if you were going into the office. And, perhaps most importantly, change your clothes at the end of the work day. This will signal that you’re on ‘home time’ instead of ‘work time.’”

Joanna Lovering, Dressing for an Interview in 2020
Ally Shoes | Featured Expert
When choosing your outfit, go for earth tones and softer, lighter colors. Think tan, light gray, soft pink, mauve--colors in those families. Skip brighter colors, especially reds and oranges--they can bleed and give off a haze. Even bright white can be a problem--it might cause you to glow.
You’ll want to avoid black too. Cameras can’t see the folds, seams, or textures of black garments, so you can end up looking like a floating head on a black blob. That definitely has the potential to be distracting--it’s the kind of thing the interviewer can’t unsee if they do notice it!

5 Biggest Money Mistakes When Shopping For Clothes

Money Mistake #1: Heading to the sale section first.
You might think that by heading to the sale section first and bypassing the full-priced racks up front, you’re doing your wallet a favor. But retailers are on to you! Many stores will increase their regular prices to ensure they don’t lose money on sales--meaning that, while the sale price looks like a bargain, it’s really not. Some stores will also discount items just slightly--say, 10%. This way, the item sits in the sale section...but let’s be real, it’s pretty close to being full-price.

How Female Networking Builds a Success Mindset
Fem City | Contributor
Joanna Lovering, an executive presence coach, says the difference between these two camps largely depended on the impression they had for themselves and their definition of what achievement means. In comparison, those with a growth perspective pursue interesting and complicated tasks and experience in a life-long pursuit to be better, while those with a fixed approach only focus on the results at the end of the road, rather than learning from each step in the process.
