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

Basics

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:

, available at Zappos for $298.)
One of our top posts last year was one on comfortable heels, so I thought I’d start there — I’d like to introduce the Corporette Guide to Comfortable Heels! Please check it out and add comments — which brands are your favorite? which particular shoes do you buy over and over again? Please comment on the page itself — and please keep any off-topic comments/threadjacks to this current page. (Warning: I will delete any off-topic discussions from the shopping guide.)
(This is part of the new Corporette “Shop” section on the top menu, which I began building late last year — it includes a round-up of sample sale sites, as well as “The Mall,” which is really just a list of stores that I have affiliate relationships with; I eventually hope to grow that section with more guides (such as a guide to basic suits) as well as perhaps some Corporette merchandise like T-shirts and mugs. (Believe it or not, people who are not my mother have asked for such things!))
