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. J.Crew has … Read More about Suit of the Week: J.Crew

Deal Alert Part 2: Shoes, Bags, and More at the Secret Nordstrom Sale
I rounded up my workwear picks that have been newly added to the Nordstrom sale earlier today, and then hit the shoes. The sales aren’t as steep (sigh), but the selection is pretty great — almost all of the shoes pictured below have a TON of sizes left. I didn’t see much I loved by way of bags, … Read More about Deal Alert Part 2: Shoes, Bags, and More at the Secret Nordstrom Sale
Deal Alert: The Nordstrom Secret Sale is Pretty Great
Nordstrom usually trumpets their sales, so it’s a bit surprising that they don’t have any messaging on their homepage or anywhere about this — but there are a ton of great workwear pieces on deep discount. Below, see some of my top picks — most are either 50% off or have 5-star ratings.
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Isabell Print Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m a little obsessed with this amazing DvF skirt, part of what seems to be a TON of untrumpeted new markdowns at Nordstrom. (Lots of 60% off items, like this one.) Love the flounced shape of this silk skirt, and the … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Isabell Print Skirt
Coffee Break: ‘Jessica’ Leather Tote
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. What a great leather tote — I like all the zippers, the organization, and the fact that it’ll fit most 15″ laptops.

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Lydia Sheath Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This dress looks amazing — I’m kind of surprised to find we haven’t posted about it before (and that we can’t find it at other shops). Love the steep V-neck, the elbow-length sleeves, the general work-appropriate length — fabulous. It is … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Lydia Sheath Dress
Workwear Hall of Fame: Gayle Pumps
People seem to LOVE these Calvin Klein pumps, and it’s easy to see why — a really classic style, tons of color options (evergreen suede is pictured here, but there are tons of colors in matte leather, textured leather, suede, and patent). I’m not usually one for blingy accents, but I do like the metallic accent … Read More about Workwear Hall of Fame: Gayle Pumps
Shopping Category Killers
Have you ever bought an item so perfect that you just don’t need to shop for anything similar any more? As in, the whole shopping category is just no longer one of your concerns? Did you KNOW it would be a shopping category killer when you bought it (i.e., the clouds parted, trumpets rang out, etc.) — or … Read More about Shopping Category Killers
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: ‘Jay’ Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I remember desperately wanting a slouchy boyfriend blazer like this many moons ago — if memory serves I actually just bought a smallish man’s blazer. So I’m excited to see that same slouchy excellence, but just for women, from Equipment. Love that … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: ‘Jay’ Blazer
Weekend Open Thread
I’ve been admiring these Toms boots for a while now, and while I’ve heard great things about the comfort, I could never pull the trigger.
