Favorite Accessories for Work, 2017 Edition
Like our workwear recommendations, we recommend one accessory (or desk accessory) appropriate for the office on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

I generally try to include one shoe and one bag each week, but the third item varies — we’ve … Read More about Favorite Accessories for Work, 2017 Edition

Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Tissue Turtleneck Tee
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I feel like turtlenecks are having a moment right now (I even just saw a whole article on how to wear necklaces and turtlenecks) — so I’m excited to see that J.Crew’s tissue-thin turtlenecks are still available. They are down … Read More about Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Tissue Turtleneck Tee

Thursday’s Workwear Report: Half Sleeve Cassidy Dress

I’m usually opposed to anything (for work at least) called a “wiggle dress” or noted as a “body-con” style — but with stores inspired by vintage wear it’s a bit different, and I really do just like this dress (which … Read More about Thursday’s Workwear Report: Half Sleeve Cassidy Dress
