Something on your mind? Chat about it here. This is not my usual style at all, but I really like this organza skirt (and, fine, the matching crop top if you must). I think it’s sexy, and a great way to show a bit more leg in a demure, fun way for an evening out. … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Autumn Tweed Sheath Dress

Prices at 6pm tend to swing around, and this dress has been dipping as low as the $30s and as high as the $60s or $70s in recent days. So I’m happy to report that today it’s $39.99, making it … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Autumn Tweed Sheath Dress
Coffee Break: Color-block Leather Tote
I kind of love everything The Row is doing — they specialize in great basics, but everything just seems modern, fresh, clean, and super lux. Of course, you pay for that (this tote is $3,150) but I like the smart interior partitions, as well as the colorblocking and single handle. The Row Color-block Leather Tote … Read More about Coffee Break: Color-block Leather Tote
How to Reduce Static Cling
How do you reduce static cling in pants and skirts? Reader K wonders… Wondering how to deal with unlined pants & trouser socks (or long underwear, for that matter) such that the pants don’t get all bunchy and sticky, especially for wider-leg trousers. Are you just going to have to resign to have a certain … Read More about How to Reduce Static Cling
Thursday’s TPS Report: Giraffe Hernanda Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I apparently am loving Trina Turk this week.

Suit of the Week: Brooks Brothers
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. I’m not … Read More about Suit of the Week: Brooks Brothers

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Paige Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Angie at YouLookFab just had a post about how navy is everywhere these days, but brown is so hard to find, which got me thinking about my own brown clothing through the years. This particular mink/light coffee color has always … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Paige Jacket
Coffee Break: Edessa Welded Pump
Pretty! I think these pumps are those great not-just-black-but-just-as-versatile set of pumps that goes everywhere. They’re available in regular and wide sizes from 5-11 (with half sizes), and they feature adiPRENE® by adidas® to help absorb shock with every step. Like most other things I try to post in January, they’re on sale: were $150, … Read More about Coffee Break: Edessa Welded Pump

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Monarch Ponte Jacquard Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Good morning, ladies! I’m loving this dress by Trina Turk. Sleeves! A high neckline (they call it a “retro fit” on the page description) and a ladylike hem length! A really cool, almost space-dyed effect for the ponte jacquard!
