Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This bow style of top comes and goes, and right now it seems to be having a moment.

Coffee Break: Pointy Toe Pump
This looks like a great pump if you’re on the hunt for something with a lower heel — it’s under 2 inches, which is the perfect height if you’re going to be standing for any length of time, like at a networking event, or a presentation or argument, for example. If you want to be comfortable … Read More about Coffee Break: Pointy Toe Pump
The Best Spotify Playlists to Help You Focus
While some of us need absolute quiet to be productive at work, others prefer some background noise, whether it’s classical music, indie rock, or something else entirely.

Thursday’s Workwear Report: Knit Surplice Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Even though we just featured this on CorporetteMoms, it’s worth a post here as well because this is a great dress — for $85 I think it’s going to be hard to do better than this. I love the sleeves, the … Read More about Thursday’s Workwear Report: Knit Surplice Dress

Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Freya Pencil Skirt
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. All the pattern options for this pencil skirt are really gorgeous, and many sizes are sold out (except not in the color pictured), which I always take as a sign of a well fitting piece. As always with Boden it’s nice … Read More about Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Freya Pencil Skirt
Coffee Break: Tassel Leather Hobo
Huh: I am not usually a red leather bag kind of girl, but I am drooling over this lipstick red leather bag from Rebecca Minkoff. It’s highly rated, has a magnetic snap at the opening (no zipper, alas), and I like the “retro-cool” tassel. It’s $295, available in a tan “almond” and black, at Nordstrom; … Read More about Coffee Break: Tassel Leather Hobo

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Rebecca Taylor has always been a source of feminine but professional workwear, and this dress is a great example of that.
