Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. We’ve liked this Rachel Roy raincoat since we first saw it — the “speckled jacquard” is kind of crazy, and we like that (and the stripey lining!). We’d wear it on a rainy weekend when we wanted to look glamorous, but be practical, while meeting friends for … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning. In general, this feature is not about interview suits, which should be as classic and basic as you get — instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional.
