Thursday’s TPS Report: Paintbox floral cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Ah, spring — where it’s 70 degrees one day, and 45 the next.

Tuesday’s TPS Report: A-Line Pleat-Godet Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I really like this A-line pleat skirt from Lafayette 148 New York.
