Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Wow. Wowza. Gorgeous dress from Donna Karan. It’s a lovely jeweled hue, in a subtly textured crepe, with a perfect ruched/wrapped/almost asymmetric chic about it. Lovely. (It almost reminds me a bit of a higher-priced version of this reader favorite.) … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Short Sleeve Crepe Jersey Dress

(This includes one review I find hilarious, where a … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Coffee Break: ‘Anemone’ Shopper Tote
OK. Cute green bag. Nice leather, nice details (feet on the bottom, toggle closure, interior pockets), GREAT sale ($428 to $165), great brand in general (I love Furla). BUT: for some reason, although I have posted a thousand “shopper totes” before, this one annoys me. Why must we call it a “shopper” tote? Granted, I … Read More about Coffee Break: ‘Anemone’ Shopper Tote
How to Take a Job Far From Family and Friends
How do you tell your friends and family you’re moving for work? How do you even decide to take a job that’s far away from family and friends? Reader L wrote in with an interesting question: I’m a recent college grad and I just accepted my first job offer (yay!). I’ll be moving across the … Read More about How to Take a Job Far From Family and Friends
Thursday’s TPS Report: ‘Graphic Flecks’ Print Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I like this sheath dress from Chaus. The knot detail looks flattering, the neckline and hemline are both 100% office appropriate, and — hooray! — they direct you to “hand wash,” not “dry clean.” The print and cut both remind … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: ‘Graphic Flecks’ Print Dress

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. Something about … Read More about Suit of the Week: Theory

It’s available in sizes 2-16 for $139 at Nordstrom. Anne Klein Herringbone … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Herringbone Tweed Sheath Dress
Coffee Break: Victoire Patent Leather Skimmer
Neiman Marcus has some killer sales on shoes, with most marked at least 50% off (including a healthy selection of Cole Haan, Manolo Blahnik, and Maison Martin Margiela, all in lucky sizes). For today’s coffee break I’m liking this lovely skimmer (which would probably be a great nude-for-me shoe for some women). I love the … Read More about Coffee Break: Victoire Patent Leather Skimmer
How to Button Your Cardigans
How do YOU button your cardigans? I was surprised that I had such a strong opinion when I saw reader S’s email: I love regular crewneck cardigans and have them in several colors and brands, but I’m always debating whether I should be buttoning up just the 2nd and third buttons, only the top one, … Read More about How to Button Your Cardigans
