Thursday’s Workwear Report: Bell Sleeve Jacket
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This jacket from Halogen reminds me of an Anne Klein jacket I had years ago when I was sort of doing the Anne Klein mall tour — this is not my color, usually, but I found it to be surprisingly versatile. I used to wear it with graphic patterns, … Read More about Thursday’s Workwear Report: Bell Sleeve Jacket

Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Sophie Shift Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This Karen Kane dress looks simple and kind of perfect if this sort of shift dress is your jam.

Coffee Break: Maya Calfskin Shoulder Bag
I love the boxy look of this classic shoulder bag from All Saints, and I continue to be really impressed with All Saints as a leather bag company. The lack of lining is a little interesting, but I like it, although the removable ruffle detail is probably something I’d take off immediately. I like the hidden magnetic snap closure and interior … Read More about Coffee Break: Maya Calfskin Shoulder Bag

Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: ‘Wandee’ Colorblock D-Ring Sheath Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This awesome colorblock dress from Ted Baker is like a basic blouse with a skirt but for the exposed zipper in the back pulling it together.
