Going pro: What your color says about you

Gallery: What message does your outfit send?

Somewhere during your grown-up years, chances are you'll have the opportunity to attend some sort of networking event. And, while you could go with the resume tee, in some professions that might not go over all that well -- you need to find a more polished, professional look.

However, before you throw on your trusty old suit, think about the message you want to send. Just as the type of attire you choose (suit, dress, etc.) says something about you, the color you choose sends a message to prospective contacts and employers. Check out the gallery to see what impression different colors make.

Why aren't you wearing this? "What lies within us" bracelet

Jewelry is often fun, and pretty, and frivolous, and there isn't anything wrong with that. However, there's also nothing wrong with showing off the fact that there's more on your mind than when that miniskirt at Neiman Marcus is going to go on sale.

Ban T-Shirts with a message

No, I don't want to ban t-shirts with a message, unless it is something I disagree with. Why would I want to read that? Ban T-Shirts is the name of the company and their shirts have some very strong messages, most of which I wouldn't dream of banning.

The shirts are designed with progressive messages that concern the issues of the day: the environment, democracy, freedom, war and peace (not Tolstoy). Most of the designs are printed on organic cotton American Apparel shirts and none are made in sweatshops, although I can't guarantee that sweat was not present at some time during the process.

The company is proud of its righteous attitude and claims to be deconstructing society, shirt by shirt. They also make no apologies about not providing all sides on the issues. They feel that the right is wrong and only make shirts with messages that they believe in. That's called not selling out. Besides, who the hell wants to wear shirts that are anti-environment, freedom and peace? Don't answer that. Ban it.

Get "Lucky in Bed" with this necklace

You're probably familiar with the tradition of finishing a fortune cookie message with "... in bed." If you haven't done this, you should, because instead of some boring old fortune you get something like, "You are talented in many ways ... in bed." Way more fun, to be sure.

Jewelry designer Jess LC created a "Lucky In Bed" necklace just for those of us whose minds go straight from dessert to the gutter. Well, at least for those of us with minds like that who still want cute, quirky, beautiful accessories to finish off our outfits.

The "Lucky in Bed" necklace combines the lucky Chinese color red with the longstanding tradition of adding "in bed" to the end of any fortune cookie message. They come in gold or silver and come in a small takeout box with a fortune cookie message, and I think you can guess how it ends ...

Either way, it's a great conversation piece, and would make a fantastic gift this Valentine's Day (or anytime, for that matter). When can we not use a good chuckle?

"Lucky in Bed" necklace, $36, available for purchase online here.
