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. I really … Read More about Suit of the Week: Banana Republic
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Darlene Stretch Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Nordstrom has this dress 60% off — was $398, now $159.20; limited sizes only. The pros: love the sleeves, the ladylike skirt length, and the stretch wool. The possible cons to consider: the exposed zipper, and, ah, that neckline. Numerous … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Darlene Stretch Dress
Coffee Break: Jonnie Hobo Bag
I’ve posted the Kooba Jonnie bag before, but I really do think this is a classic with a slight rock and roll vibe, and at the prices I’m seeing around the web — around $250 for a $500 bag — it also seems pretty affordable. I’m a fan of the teal at Zappos (pictured; $249), … Read More about Coffee Break: Jonnie Hobo Bag

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Tuxedo Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

And for $24, … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Tuxedo Blazer
Coffee Break: Chelsea Low Pump
Cole Haan is having some great sales (albeit final ones) on their website — but if you know your size you’re in luck. Take, for example, these fun purple suede shoes. They were $298, but are now marked to $80; with code NEWYEAR they come down another 30% to $55.99. Hooray for sales! Cole Haan … Read More about Coffee Break: Chelsea Low Pump
