Today’s reader mail presents us with a great question about wrap dresses for the office… specifically, how to keep a wrap dress closed! Here’s her question: I am continually more frustrated with trying to monitor my wrap dresses to ensure that the flap upon my lap/knees is “closed.” Do the readers have any suggestions?

Coffee Break: Bobbie Pump
We’ve been enamored of the brand Volatile since we saw a very fashionable woman wearing a pair of their shoes. (Alas, we can’t remember if she was a personal style blogger or if she was featured in one of those “women on the street” things in a magazine.) But: the brand is part of 6pm.com’s … Read More about Coffee Break: Bobbie Pump

Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Ruffle-Trim Open-Front Cardigans
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We’ve liked a lot of the ruffle cardigans we’ve seen this season, but have been flummoxed by the asymmetrical or uneven ruffle effect we’ve seen on a lot of them — some only have details on one side of the … Read More about Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Ruffle-Trim Open-Front Cardigans
Coffee Break: Genevieve Small Triangle Tote
Endless has a lot of sales on Cole Haan handbags today, for some reason, including this lovely brown bag.
