Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Pim + Larkin Dot Print Button Down Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I love this fun, funky print from Pim + Larkin. The coral dots seem very “now,” and I like that they’re kind of abstract floating blobs instead of ordered little dots. I’d wear it with light gray pants for the … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Pim + Larkin Dot Print Button Down Blouse

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Windward Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I don’t think I’ve featured an A-line flowy skirt for a while, and I really like this one from Pendleton.
