Tuesday’s TPS Report: BCBGMAXAZRIA Printed Silk Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Today, I’m liking this dress from BCBGMaxAzria — the abstract pattern is fun, and I love that color of blue.

Coffee Break: Rocha Pumps
I like the look of these navy patent pumps from Nine West, on sale at Zappos (and highly rated from most of the 262 reviewers). Navy patent can be hard to find, and for women who just don’t feel comfortable wearing black shoes with a navy suit, these could be just what the doctor ordered. … Read More about Coffee Break: Rocha Pumps

Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Myra Skirt – Black Polka Dot
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Merona has a new collection available (the “Retro Resort” collection), but the clothes don’t look resort-like — instead, they look like simple classics, perhaps with a preppy edge.

Coffee Break – Cole Haan Village II Satchel
Bluefly has a number of great bags on sale for up to 40% off, including Cole Haan and Kooba. I’m liking this dark purple satchel from Cole Haan — it’s a great “starter” color if you’ve typically worn neutral purses, and the pebbled leather is super soft and easy to wipe clean. As with all … Read More about Coffee Break – Cole Haan Village II Satchel
