Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Hump Day! I kind of like that this dress is a hybrid between a drop waist and a fit & flare — it’s more sophisticated than your typical F&F, and yet more flattering than your typical drop waist.

Coffee Break: Synal Flat
Oooh: these little pointed toe flats are bestsellers over at Bloomingdale’s, and it’s easy to see why — I love the bit of gold in the heel, the classic pointed toe style, and the wintry suede (for non-slushy days or office shoes, at least). Bloomingdale’s has them in three colors, Zappos has them in five, and … Read More about Coffee Break: Synal Flat

Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Mikena Jacket
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This is a new trend for me: these sort of tied cuffs on blazers and sweaters.

Coffee Break: Fingerless Gloves
These fingerless gloves are awesome. In the past I’ve had mittens that folded over your fingers (like these Kate Spade ones) and wore them because, while childish, they were very functional for touchscreens and more. These pictured fingerless gloves add a TON more style while sacrificing just a tiny bit of warmth — and you won’t … Read More about Coffee Break: Fingerless Gloves

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Monday! This azure blue dress caught my eye because it looks classic and refined, but still has a touch of sass in there.

Coffee Break: Candace Leather Satchel
I love this bag and would wear it with neutrals (particularly all black, with a red lipstick), but I love when bags and prints give you inspiration for entire outfits. I mean, everything about the colors is right here — the depth of the purple, the brightness of the red — even the proportions, with about … Read More about Coffee Break: Candace Leather Satchel
