I’m loving this wispy, artsy wool scarf from Madewell — love the colors and the abstract pattern. I’d use it for a pop of color and whimsy with a blazer of almost any color. Was $49, now $24.99 at Madewell. Floating Feathers Scarf (L-2)

Introducing the Corporette Guide to Comfortable Heels
I’ve been thinking for a while about expanding the site to include shopping guides on those dead-simple basics that every woman needs and buys (and has definite opinions about) but, to be honest, aren’t that much fun to blog about. (A navy Theory suit? A pair of black heels? Yawn.) (Pictured: Stuart Weitzman – Madison … Read More about Introducing the Corporette Guide to Comfortable Heels
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Marina Grande-Print Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Akris has a number of scenic print dresses out right now, and I’m particularly loving this cotton shirt dress. Love the fitted style, the high, pointed collar, and the drawstring sleeves. It’s $2990 at Saks Fifth Avenue (which has some … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Marina Grande-Print Dress
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Piperlime has one of the best collections of “blush”-colored shoes that I’ve seen in a while (although it is a bit heavy on the shooties — really, who wears blush shooties?). In any event — I am drooling over this pair of Kate Spade sandals. They will … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Office Must: T-Shirt Bras (Sponsored Post from Freshpair)
This post is written by Kat Griffin, but brought to you by Corporette sponsor, Freshpair. A long time ago, I used to wear all sorts of bras to work. Lacy bras! Bras with seams! I even had a few beautiful demi-cup bras that I got on a trip to Paris that really did not “contain … Read More about Office Must: T-Shirt Bras (Sponsored Post from Freshpair)
Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Asymmetrical Gathered T
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I love nothing more than finding a great basic on sale – and judging from the reviews on Gap.com this top is the rare find in that it is both loose and comfortable — but also slimming. Brilliant. The “hushed … Read More about Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Asymmetrical Gathered T
Coffee Break: Yves Saint Laurent ‘Muse – Large’ Leather Dome Satchel
On this snowy day, I thought I’d have some fun with the coffee break — I am literally drooling over the “ocean” color of Yves Saint Laurent’s spring collection. I like the “Roady,” the large leather hobo, but I can’t shake the feeling that the Muse is a classic (even though, I think, it’s only … Read More about Coffee Break: Yves Saint Laurent ‘Muse – Large’ Leather Dome Satchel
Thursday’s TPS Report: Floral-Print Pencil Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I remember the days when White House | Black Market only sold black and white items — but it seems like the past few seasons they have been incorporating a bit of one color into each collection. This season it’s … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Floral-Print Pencil Skirt
Suit of the Week: Albert Nipon Belted Cool Wool Skirtsuit
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. I am normally not … Read More about Suit of the Week: Albert Nipon Belted Cool Wool Skirtsuit
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Turquoise Lurex Knit “Cardigan”
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Today,I’m liking the springy look of this turquoise sweater from Alice & Olivia, even though I suspect the buttons are more for decoration than function. I’d wear it with gray trousers anda navy camisole or button-down beneath it. Was $266, … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Turquoise Lurex Knit “Cardigan”
Coffee Break: Pixel Floral Cashmere Scarf
Maybe I spent too much of my childhood playing games like King’s Quest (and Space Quest and Police Quest…), but I love the pixelated-on-purpose look to this floral scarf. It strikes me as witty, but also artsy (for those who don’t remember the 1980s graphics) and, given the muted colors, a good basic. It’s marked … Read More about Coffee Break: Pixel Floral Cashmere Scarf
