I mentioned this briefly in an update to this morning’s TPS, but: Neiman Marcus is having a one-day only 40% off sale on Cole Haan items.

Thursday’s TPS Report: 3/4 Sleeve Jersey Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. It bugs me that this dress is described as having “3/4 sleeves” since the sleeves pretty clearly don’t go past the model’s elbows. I would call these “ballet sleeves,” but hey. Either way: I like this navy dress, with pops … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: 3/4 Sleeve Jersey Dress
Suit of the Week: Burberry Prorsum
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. We’re having … Read More about Suit of the Week: Burberry Prorsum

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Yadva Print Ombré Jersey Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Love this ombré dress, even though it could be very top-heavy on the wrong person (e.g., me). Still, I love it: the wide boatneck, those delicate leaves, the fabric belt, the sharp change from turquoise to purple . . . … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Yadva Print Ombré Jersey Dress
Coffee Break – Totes Purse Umbrella
I’m one of those annoyingly practical types who carries an umbrella everywhere during spring and fall, when surprise showers always seem imminent. I recently got a new mini umbrella and was amazed at how heavy it was, compared to my old, super lightweight umbrella (which I think was a sister to this one).
