Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We’re liking this lovely sheath dress from Trina Turk today, available in white and yellow.

Coffee Break: Pleated Scarf
Today we’re liking this pleated scarf from Johnston & Murphy. It’s a great basic to keep in your office, if only because — in a pinch — you can use it to mimic a blouse and raise the neckline of a dress that, perhaps, is lower-cut than you originally thought it was. It’s not a … Read More about Coffee Break: Pleated Scarf

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We always love a good sweater blazer, and this one from Newport News is no exception.

I am 22. Right now I am pretty … Read More about A Bald Head… and a Job Interview
