Something on your mind? Chat about it here. OK, I’m kind of obsessed with neon pink at the moment. Is it because I had a really, really awesome sweatshirt that said “Washington, DC” in alternating shades of neon pink, yellow and green, which I unwittingly wore to my surprise 16th birthday party? Hey, who knows. … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: City Stretch Peplum Sleeveless Top
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. One of my guilty pleasures (at least in seasons past) has been The Real Housewives of New York — so of course I clicked when Refinery 29 had a tour of Countess LuAnn’s apartment.

Coffee Break – Cheree Colorblock Pump
We had the Rothko-inspired skirt the other day, now for the Mondrian-inspired shoes… I love the fun colorblocking on these shoes, as well as the patent leather accents. This is the kind of shoe I would wear with a black skirt and black blouse, and then pick up one of the colors in another accessory … Read More about Coffee Break – Cheree Colorblock Pump

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Milano Wool Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I like this simple wool sweater blazer from Lacoste. The cut is classic, and the fabric mix (80% cotton, 20% wool) makes me think this would be great for chillier spring weather. It was $265, but is now marked to … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Milano Wool Blazer
Coffee Break – Hammered Chain-Link Necklace
Admittedly, this is not the most exciting necklace — but if you’ve been looking for an inexpensive 16″ necklace to wear with scoopnecks, crewnecks, and under blouses, this is a really solid choice. The markdown, of course, helps: it was $165, but is now marked to $105 — and then with the extra 30% off … Read More about Coffee Break – Hammered Chain-Link Necklace
