Polka Dot Umbrella for Women by TotesI’m one of those annoyingly practical types who carries an umbrella everywhere during spring and fall, when surprise showers always seem imminent. I recently got a new mini umbrella and was amazed at how heavy it was, compared to my old, super lightweight umbrella (which I think was a sister to this one). So for today’s coffee break, I’m recommending this umbrella — I like the colorful black-and-red pattern on it, the fact that it folds to just 6″, and the weight: a mere 7 oz. Amazing. It doesn’t have auto open/close, and it isn’t really designed for massive gusts of wind — but for those days where you’re caught by surprise by the rain, this can be a lifesaver. It’s $14.95 at Amazon. Polka Dot Umbrella for Women by Totes

Armani Collezioni Peplum Jacket Neiman Marcus is having some killer sales, allowing you to take an extra 30% off of their clearance stuff. For Splurge Monday, though, I’m in love with this Armani jacket. The dark teal-ly green is very on-trend for fall (green on green on green!) but I always think jewel tones like this are super flattering, and often subdued enough to be worn without a lot of thought in a conservative office. Love this one with the shawl collar, peplum flounce, and streamlined look. I’d probably wear it with neutral colors — navy, gray, maybe black — and perhaps a pair of purple pumps if I were really feeling wild. The jacket is $1895. Armani Collezioni Peplum Jacket

Pim + Larkin Dot Print Button Down BlouseI love this fun, funky print from Pim + Larkin. The coral dots seem very “now,” and I like that they’re kind of abstract floating blobs instead of ordered little dots. I’d wear it with light gray pants for the office, and perhaps a white sweater vest. The blouse is $49 at Piperlime. Pim + Larkin Dot Print Button Down Blouse

David Yurman Sterling Silver & 18K Yellow Gold Teardrop EarringsI never feature longer earrings for the office because I feel like 95% of them are inappropriate for office wear, primarily because they’re distracting. But when a reporter asked me recently why, I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, finally settling on “dangly earrings that move when you speak are distracting.” But readers, what are your thoughts — would these longer stationary earrings be acceptable for work? They are gorgeous — love the mix of silver and gold, and the teardrop shape. They’re $825 at Saks. David Yurman Sterling Silver & 18K Yellow Gold Teardrop Earrings

Surplice Dress with Draped Tulip Skirt AnneKlein.com has a ton of great things on sale, both from their lower line as well as their pricier Anne Klein Collection, including a ton of great dresses. I really love this black and white dress with a tulip skirt — the pleating at the bust, the draping on the skirt, the cap sleeves — it’s all so flattering. It was $129, but is now marked to $79 (limited sizes only). Anne Klein Surplice Dress with Draped Tulip Skirt

ANNE KLEIN SUIT Textured Belted Jacket DressFor 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.

Happy Wednesday! I really like this beige textured suit dress on sale at Lord & Taylor. The collarless jacket looks chic — and like it would be a workhouse with a number of different outfits — while the dress looks like a great basic. I do wish L&T had a picture of the dress by itself… but what can you do. It was $320, but is marked to $150 (sizes 0-14). Try code BIG to take an extra 15% off regular items and 20% off sale and clearance. ANNE KLEIN SUIT Textured Belted Jacket Dress
