Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I actually own this skirt — it’s a great black and white mix with a medium/dark blue stripe running through it, and an interesting leather belt detail at the hip. The bit of blue elevates it beyond a basic, and … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Plaid Pencil Skirt
Suit of the Week: Halogen
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. Happy Wednesday! … Read More about Suit of the Week: Halogen
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Seasonless Wool Sheath
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Talbots has this lovely wool sheath available online and it looks like a great basic. I like the little ruching/pleating detail at the neckline, the short sleeves, and the “gorgeously drapey seasonless wool.” It’s available in navy, tan, gray and … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Seasonless Wool Sheath
Coffee Break – Edie Slingback Pump
Ooh: I like these low 2″ VANELi heels, on sale at Amazon. The linen fabric looks durable but breathable, and I like the tiny bit of animal print edging, as well as the small cutout and bow on the vamp. They were $112, but are now marked to $50.50 (free shipping and returns). VANELi Women’s … Read More about Coffee Break – Edie Slingback Pump
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Aurora Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This dress originally caught my eye in the teal blue version over at Bloomingdale’s, but again I like the gray. I like the ballet-length sleeves, the vertical seams, the modest V-neck, and the slightly heathered look to the gray. It’s … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Aurora Dress
Coffee Break – Foiled Metallic Skinny Belt
Sometimes, an unusual skinny belt is just what you need to elevate an otherwise boring outfit. For example, I think this foiled metallic skinny belt from Express would look really great with, say, navy trousers, a navy cardigan, with perhaps a bit of a purple tank or blouse sticking out. Oooh, or a gray-on-gray ensemble … Read More about Coffee Break – Foiled Metallic Skinny Belt
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Red Peaked Lapel Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. In general, I love Smythe blazers. This peaked lapel blazer (shown here in red; Bergdorf’s has it in blue) looks absolutely worth the splurge. It’s a standout piece, it’s interesting, it’s professional, and it’s gorgeous. Love the vents at the … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Red Peaked Lapel Blazer
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Sivan Gathered V-Neck T-Shirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Bluefly is having some killer sales right now — clearance is up to an extra 40% off. I like this periwinkle tee (which has a matching wool blazer if you like to coordinate colors like that), as well as another … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Sivan Gathered V-Neck T-Shirt
Coffee Break – Zuma Beach Kelsey Shoulder Bag
Hooray for crinkled patent leather tote bags in “deep African violet.” And animal print lining! I wish this bag came with a leetle bit more organization inside it (a pocket for my cell phone, perhaps) but sometimes you just want a big space to throw stuff. Gorgeous. This baby is on sale, too — was … Read More about Coffee Break – Zuma Beach Kelsey Shoulder Bag
Thursday’s TPS Report: Ruched Sleeve Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Whoa, you guys, I think this is a first: there is a cobalt version of this blazer available, and I actually prefer the grey. (The cobalt’s up there, though.) Something about the slightly heathered gray strikes me as just a … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Ruched Sleeve Jacket

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Cuillin Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This is an unusual dress — and yet, it reminds me of Akris’s scene-printed dresses from a few seasons ago. I like the relaxed “fit and flare” style, the ruching at the top, and the heavy silk. With a dark … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Cuillin Dress
