Coffee Break: ‘Armory’ Wedges
These nice wedges are bestsellers at Zappos, and it’s easy to see why — a walkable 3″ heel and a number of colors of patent leather. I luuuurve the red one but ultimately decided to feature the beige version because I so rarely see beige wedges with a wrapped wedge instead of wooden or cork. … Read More about Coffee Break: ‘Armory’ Wedges
Work Outfits with Black Heels
We just rounded up a ton of great black heels for interviews and beyond — and they’re such a basic, versatile piece in your work wardrobe you hopefully don’t need TOO many ideas for how to wear them to work. Still, I thought it would be fun to come up with a few work outfit … Read More about Work Outfits with Black Heels
Tuesday’s Workwear Report: ‘Akira’ V-Neck Sheath Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Oooh: love the little details on this black sheath dress, like the angled seaming and the toned panels. As part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (see our full roundups for workwear and shoes), it’s currently marked to $329, but after the sale it’ll … Read More about Tuesday’s Workwear Report: ‘Akira’ V-Neck Sheath Dress
Coffee Break: Teardrop Earrings
I’m not always a fan of drop/dangly earrings for the office, but if you want to do it, this is my preferred type for work: stationary. The earrings aren’t going to move much as you talk and distract from what you’re saying, they aren’t going to jangle as you walk down the hallway, and ultimately they’re pretty sedate. … Read More about Coffee Break: Teardrop Earrings
Splurge Monday’s Workwear Post: Chevron Jersey Blazer
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I mentioned this in my roundup of workwear from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, but it’s too good not to feature here as well — I love the sleek, fitted cut, the lovely small chevron pattern, and the peplum details. The sale … Read More about Splurge Monday’s Workwear Post: Chevron Jersey Blazer
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Here’s a weird thing this weekend, in honor of the NAS: I’m going to recommend TWO weekend pieces because I’m kind of psyched about both. First up: This awesome dress was in my workwear roundup until I realized I had a ton of stuff and, well, it’s kind … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Neoprene Pencil Skirt
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Friday, ladies! This neoprene skirt looks great — I like the purplish color here (it also comes in gray and in a floral print), the pockets, and the “hand wash cold” instruction (as opposed to dry clean). It’s on discount … Read More about Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Neoprene Pencil Skirt
