Something on your mind? Chat about it here. As the weather gets warmer (F.I.N.A.L.L.Y!), thoughts turn to sunny walks and happily running around town. My boots are mostly away at this point in time — but I feel like a fool in sandals. So this is the time of year that my “fun sneakers” get … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Stretch Twill Ankle Pants
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I was intrigued to see that eShakti now offers customizable pants (and jumpsuits!). You can put in your own custom measurements, as well as add belt loops, remove pockets, and change the length — wonderful. The pictured pants are twill (they also … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Stretch Twill Ankle Pants
Coffee Break: Posture and Activity Tracker
My posture is one of those things that I continually wish I could improve. I’m ok in public spaces, I feel, but once I get behind closed doors I’m Queen Slouchy. Bad, bad, bad. I saw this little posture “coach” on Amazon a while ago and made the purchase. The idea is that once you … Read More about Coffee Break: Posture and Activity Tracker
Thursday’s TPS Report: Juliette Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I love the look of this simple black sheath, on sale at Pendleton — the cutouts at the neck add some interest but aren’t overwhelming or inappropriate, and the just-below-the-knee length is perrrrfect. I only wish it came in more … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Juliette Dress
Suit of the Week: White House | Black Market
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.

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Balina Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Piperlime is closing at the end of this month, which means there are some crazy deals to be had (but lots of lucky sizes). This tweed blazer, still available in M and L, was $425, but is now marked to … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Balina Jacket
Coffee Break: Caelina Pumps
These pumps from Enzo Angiolini look great — I love the squared off details on the vamp, and the d’Orsay styling looks chic. The shoe is available in both black and white stripes (pictured) as well as a plain beige for $99 at Zappos. Enzo Angiolini Caelina Update: Drat, just realized these are available in very … Read More about Coffee Break: Caelina Pumps
The Sleeveless Professional: Body Types, Bare Arms, and Expectations
Is it professional to go sleeveless at the office — even if you don’t have perfect arms? When you want to bare your arms at your sleeveless-is-acceptable office, is it worth considering other people’s potential reactions if you don’t exactly have Michelle Obama arms to show off? Do people adjust their expectations of what’s “appropriate” when considering coworkers of … Read More about The Sleeveless Professional: Body Types, Bare Arms, and Expectations

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Brinton Pants
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Call me a sucker for a slight flare, but I like the look of these high-waisted cotton blend pants with a “subtle flare.” I’ve always thought flared/bootcut pants are more flattering with sleek tops, but I also like the look … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Brinton Pants
