I like this “collarless crop” jacket from Aqua (available in black, navy, white, and royal at Bloomingdale’s). It seems a bit boxier than your standard shrunken blazer, and the geometric tailoring seems part cool but part reminiscent of the servants’ clothes on Downton Abbey. That said, for the price I’d give it a try — all four colors are $108 at Bloomingdale’s. Aqua Jacket – Collarless Crop Blazer

I like these d’Orsay pumps from J.Crew in a “light walnut black.” The mid-heel height, combined with the very wearable pattern, make me think these would get a ton of mileage at the office. They’re priced at $129 right now (were $248), but the FabFeb sale (still going through Wednesday!) gets you 20% off with purchases of $150+ — so I’d throw a t-shirt into my order as well and basically get the shirt for free.

Here’s a fun question: what items do you think are wise to purchase, even if you don’t have a specific event or occasion to wear them to — and which items are best left for specific “I am going to wear this to X event” purchases? Even though we don’t belong to a gym with a pool, and we have no vacations planned, I recently bought a non-returnable swimsuit on deep discount, so it’s been on my mind.
For my own $.02: in general, I prefer to “let clothes find me.” I actually hate shopping with an agenda — if I need a new pair of jeans, or a white blouse, or a basic LBD, I have to steel myself for a long and trying shopping excursion (where, at the end, I always seem to pay through the nose for something I only vaguely like). Instead, I prefer to buy things that I actually like (perhaps helped along by the fact that they’re deeply discounted), and that I suspect I might have a use for — some day. Even now, while I hate having to “commit” to my post-baby body (which is a size or two larger than my pre-baby body), I’ve made some purchases and had to argue with myself in my head. Here’s how the conversation goes:

Happy Tuesday, ladies! I found this sweater last week while doing my cashmere sweater roundup, and it’s been on my mind. Love the clean lines, the deep V, the sweater/tuxedo vibe — to speak nothing of the discount! My primary hesitation are those buttons. I don’t think they’re too sparkly for the office — but then again, they can always be changed (or the sweater returned). In any event: it’s available in black and white, was $1398, now marked to $549, but with the Ralph Lauren winter sale it’s an extra 20% off, bringing it down to $439.20. Lovely.
