Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Great sale on this cashmere/silk blend long cardigan from Piazza Sempione!

Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Piperlime has some great sales going on, including this simple Susana Monaco twist dress.

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Tie Front Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Max Studio has some great sales going on, including this lovely patterned blouse. Its main flaw, of course, is that low, low neckline: I’d pull out my trusty camisole in warmer weather, but in colder weather I could see a … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Tie Front Blouse
Coffee Break – Janis Tote
Oooh: Love. I like that this See by Chloe tote is sized big for a magazine or a few work papers, and that the shoulder straps look long enough to be comfortable. As a minor aside, I wish it had a lighter interior lining (so you could actually see the multiple pockets it supposedly has) … Read More about Coffee Break – Janis Tote
Curvy and Competent: Dressing Professionally With a Salma Hayek Body
Reader H has a great question about how to dress professionally if you’ve got a killer body like Salma Hayek’s: One thing that I’m still wondering about (and moreso lately, as my summer internship looms) is if different rules of professional dress apply for different figures. Is it ever necessary – or desirable – to … Read More about Curvy and Competent: Dressing Professionally With a Salma Hayek Body

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Suit of the Week: Tahari ASL Women’s 3-button Jacket Skirt Suit
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 for women, which should be as classic and basic as you get — instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional. Overstock has … Read More about Suit of the Week: Tahari ASL Women’s 3-button Jacket Skirt Suit
Book Excerpt: Nice Girls Just Don’t Get It
I know many readers are huge fans of Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office: 101 Unconscious Mistakes Women Make That Sabotage Their Careers (Business Plus)(affectionately known among commenters as NGDGTCO). I’ll be honest here: I haven’t read it yet myself! But I knew enough to sit up and take notice when the author, Lois … Read More about Book Excerpt: Nice Girls Just Don’t Get It
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Bella Floral-Print Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I am not normally a fan of banded bottoms (or, truth be told, smocking), but this cotton/silk blouse has a lot going for it: I love the pattern, it’s from a great brand (Lafayette 148 New York) and it’s part … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Bella Floral-Print Blouse
Coffee Break: Dymark Kitten Heel
I have always considered the kitten heel a classic (after all, Audrey Hepburn wore it, ergo: classic) but it seems to be enjoying a resurgence right now — huzzah! I also like that kitten heels are low enough that I can wear them with pants that are hemmed for flats (or, ahem, flip-flops, for summer … Read More about Coffee Break: Dymark Kitten Heel
PSA: Administrative Assistant’s Day is Almost Here!
As some commenters are noting today, Administrative Assistant’s Day is April 27 — right around the corner. (Most flower places are touting “Administrative Assistant’s Week” as starting April 24.) We haven’t had a thread on gifts for your secretary/administrative assistant for a while, so I thought now would be a good time for one. (Pictured:100 … Read More about PSA: Administrative Assistant’s Day is Almost Here!
