A little more than a year ago, Taffy Brodesser-Akner wrote a long and heart-wrenching article for the New York Times about her lifelong entanglement with the weight loss industry. “Each time we did the eating exercise, I would cry. ‘‘What is going on for you?’’ the leader would ask.

I’m one of those people who always gets dressed up to leave the house, but also never wears their cute clothes at home. Since I work from home, I’ve gotten comfortable with the pajama and loungewear lifestyle that comes with never having to go to an office. The flip side of this is that in…

For some, figuring out what to wear for Valentine’s Day can feel like a lot of pressure, especially if you’re planning something fancy.
