Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I have no idea where I’d wear this dress — a wedding, perhaps? — but I love it. (In fact, engaged ladies, do note: it is available in white, and wouldn’t it be a pretty rehearsal dinner dress?)

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’ve noticed this sweater before, but now that it’s marked to $24 (final sale, alas) it’s too good not to post.

Coffee Break – Linley Leather Rounded Hobo
I love a good Cole Haan bag. I have so many of them that I’ve actually had to put a moratorium on purchasing them… But if I didn’t have my little moratorium, I’d be eyeing the Cole Haan selection at 6pm — lots of great hobos and totes. Take this Linely Rounded hobo, available in … Read More about Coffee Break – Linley Leather Rounded Hobo
Is Ombre Hair Professional?
Is ombre hair appropriate for the office? When does any hair color become “unprofessional”?

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Micro-Tweed Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m intrigued by this jacket, both because of the fact that it has a two-way zip, as well as the “soft cotton-blend micro-tweed that [J.Crew] developed to be incredibly lightweight with a hint of flattering stretch.” Although it’s also available … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Micro-Tweed Jacket
Coffee Break: Simon Pump
We did the classic black pump roundup earlier today — these low, speckled pumps are anything but that. I actually love all of the colors this shoe comes in — the pink snake (shown here) is really fun, while the black/gray/white snake feels like a much more sophisticated polka dot. (They also come in a … Read More about Coffee Break: Simon Pump
