Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Normally I wouldn’t recommend suit pieces as something only to wear as separates, but: hello, this one was $320, and is now $96, so let’s talk about it. The hot pink dress and jacket together is a bit aggressive, I … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Jacket Dress
Suit of the Week: Gucci
For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning. In general, this feature is not about interview suits for women, which should be as classic and basic as you get — instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional. Wow. I … Read More about Suit of the Week: Gucci

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Cotton/Linen Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I haven’t seen this blazer on the LOFT website before, for some reason — a simple cotton/linen blazer in both black and white, with 3/4 sleeves.

Coffee Break – Fiorenza Pump
These shoes are available elsewhere (and for cheaper), but it’s remarkable — they’re almost all sold out. Size 5 and size 8, lucky you! But 6pm has a big collection of them — in 3 colors and lots of sizes. I like these almost purpley “truffle” shoes — I’d wear them with brown, navy, or … Read More about Coffee Break – Fiorenza Pump

Coffee Break – FreshPocket Insulated Man’s Lunchbox
A while ago, the good folks at Koko were kind enough to send me some of their lunch bags. They have a number of very fashionable bags that look like satchels or totes, but inside they’re insulated. My favorite thing they sent me, though, was this square little lunch box, which they apparently market as … Read More about Coffee Break – FreshPocket Insulated Man’s Lunchbox
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Garton Wool-Blend Jersey Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Huh. This blazer took a few glances to grow on me — there’s something very disconcerting about the stark colorblocking — but I really like it. I’ve never seen colorblocking have this effect before, but the gray sleeves look somehow … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Garton Wool-Blend Jersey Blazer
