Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. The Outnet has some new work-appropriate items on sale, including this gorgeous crepe-twill dress. I like the black silk trim and embroidery, which adds a feminine, but professional, touch. It looks super short on the 5’11” mannequin, but, well, she … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Embroidered crepe-twill dress

Coffee Break – Presia Tied MJ
I think this may be the first time I’ve seen a 4″ “comfort” shoe — yet, here it is. The description does not mention a platform, so I think this is really just a tall shoe — expert heel wearers only! But if you are one of those expert heel wearers, these look really nice … Read More about Coffee Break – Presia Tied MJ

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Bow Front Cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I love the “peacock” color that BOSS Black has out this season, but I couldn’t get 100% behind the peacock dress. So it made me very happy to find this silk/cashmere cardigan with an interesting belt feature. (I would tie … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Bow Front Cardigan
Coffee Break – Jitney Electronic Wristlet
I’ve talked before about how I like to keep a separate wallet for the office with all of my lunch-spot punch-cards, cash, and so forth — and this looks perfect because you can fit your phone or Blackberry inside as well. I like the bright, happy colors, the patent leather, and the positive reviews online. … Read More about Coffee Break – Jitney Electronic Wristlet

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Ooh: love the metallic threads running through this tweedy Alice + Olivia blazer.

Something on your mind? Chat about it here. While photographing my own work jewelry collection this past week, I started thinking about some of my favorite pieces that I probably wouldn’t wear to work — and one of them is definitely the druzy ring that my husband got me for my birthday this year.

Coffee Break – Desire Satchel
Oooh — love the rich look of this Rebecca Minkoff satchel. The size seems great for an office bag (15 x 4.5 x 9.5), and I like the purple and black lining in the interior, as well as the numerous pockets for technology and more. It was $525, but is marked to $420 today. (Zappos … Read More about Coffee Break – Desire Satchel
