Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Pleated Turtleneck Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Sweater dresses have their place, and this gray one from Adrianna Papell feels fresh and fun to me, while still being professional. I’d wear it with a long pendant necklace (or, cough, a brooch) or — for a more casual office … Read More about Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Pleated Turtleneck Dress
Commuting Hall of Fame: Shaye Rain Boot
I never quite got into the UGG craze, even though I own a pair of the classic style — I mostly just wear them as slippers around the house on leggings/skinny jean days. Still, I keep hearing great things about the comfortable shoes the brand makes — and if you’re on the hunt for a … Read More about Commuting Hall of Fame: Shaye Rain Boot

Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Glen Plaid Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Both Olivia Palermo and Chelsea28 create a lot of interesting fashion — very stylized pieces for stylish women. This blazer, with beige and orange accents and a menswear vibe — seems very cool.

Coffee Break: Mini Faceted Stud Earrings
I mentioned this the other day over at CorporetteMoms — there are a ton of pieces of Rebecca Minkoff jewelry marked way, way down on Amazon — like add-on item low. I’m not quite sure what’s going on with pricing and inventory — the earrings I paid $8 for are back up to $48 — but … Read More about Coffee Break: Mini Faceted Stud Earrings
Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Baye Chain Detail Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Reiss, as always, has some adorable dresses in right now. I love the wide slash neck, figure-skimming drapey fabric, and — maybe it’s me — but I really like the gunmetal chain detail at the waist. (The dress looks great … Read More about Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Baye Chain Detail Dress

Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Keeping up with denim trends can be challenging. Right now, the raw edge/released hem look is one of the newer details that’s showing up — and while the detail is common on $200+ jeans, it’s less common on more affordable jeans.

Coffee Break: Gold Lana Monogrammed Oval Signet Ring
I remember reading (I think in Nina Garcia’s The One Hundred) that a woman should always have a signet ring — it was an interesting idea that seemed more fitting if one has, say, a family shield or crest of armor — but it’s stuck with me enough over the years that I like the … Read More about Coffee Break: Gold Lana Monogrammed Oval Signet Ring
