Some of us are very lucky. Short of showing up in our pajamas, we get to wear pretty much anything we want to work; no suits, ties, or stockings here. But mostly we’re just lucky we have a job to go to each morning, particularly in this economy. The Palm Restaurant (Westin Copley Place, 200 Dartmouth Street, Boston, 617.867.9292) and Dress for Success Worldwide share our sentiment, so they’ve partnered to help women around the globe get the professional clothes (read: suits, dresses, shoes) and career development skills that will help propel them into the workforce. Want to help your fellow working woman? Through the end of October, order your next lunch or dinner from the Palm’s Fall for Success menu — including Nova Scotia lobster nachos ($18), Ahi tuna burger ($16), and molten chocolate cake ($10) — and the restaurant will donate 10 percent of the proceeds to Dress for Success. The Palm Restaurant Group is holding this fundraiser at more than 25 restaurants nationwide in hopes of topping the $60,000 they rounded up last year. That’s a whole lot of pencil skirts.
