The below content is about the 2016 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. As I may have mentioned a few times, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is still going on, featuring tons of new fall merchandise temporarily marked down until prices go back up on August 8.

Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I have been ordering Hue leggings for years, but I’ll be honest: I didn’t realize how great I had it until recently. They are opaque and thick. They’re comfortable. They don’t get baggy. They wash up well. Some of them even have real pockets in the back. I … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Sundrenched Floral Pencil Skirt
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. There are some great finds at the Ann Taylor sale — tons of stuff comes down under $20, but it’s mostly in lucky sizes. This floral skirt is on less of a sale (it was only marked down a little bit … Read More about Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Sundrenched Floral Pencil Skirt
Coffee Break: Skinny Diamond Bracelet
I did NOT notice there was Monica Vinader stuff in the NAS until just now – and I am excited! We all know I’m usually not a fan of bracelets for work (too clangy, interfere with typing, etc), but I don’t see how a gorgeous, delicate little diamond bracelet like this could be bad. It … Read More about Coffee Break: Skinny Diamond Bracelet
Summer Workouts: Open Thread
When it’s hot and muggy out, it can be difficult to stick to your regular workout routine, whether it’s running outside, walking to/from work, or doing a studio class like barre.

Suit of the Week: Remi Suit
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. If you’ve … Read More about Suit of the Week: Remi Suit
Weekend Wednesday: The Best Flip Flops
Ladies, which are your favorite flip flops for your commute or for the weekends? Do you look for arch support, comfort, sustainability, or color? When we’ve talked about flip flops in the past, it’s almost always because we’re including them in a list of what not to wear to work — but because it’s Weekend Wednesday, flip flops are the … Read More about Weekend Wednesday: The Best Flip Flops
Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Wool Button-Back Pullover Sweater
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Neiman Marcus has some pretty good “last call” sales going on right now — but inventory is mostly down to lucky sizes. This pictured wool sweater, for example, is a great basic for fall and winter — and I like … Read More about Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Wool Button-Back Pullover Sweater
Coffee Break: Alicante Bootie
These stretch suede/velvet booties look perfect for fall weather — wear them with matching tights and have your legs look like they go for miles. Because velvet doesn’t always wear the best, these might be office shoes for me, particularly on yucky fall days when rainboots are required for the commute. They’re well rated at … Read More about Coffee Break: Alicante Bootie
Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Texture Knit Zip Front Fitted Jacket
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. There’s still a ton of great fall stuff in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, with lots of sizes left, including this prettty black knit cotton-blend jacket from Rebecca Taylor. I love the peplum waist, the stretchy fabric, and the texture to the … Read More about Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Texture Knit Zip Front Fitted Jacket
