Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This morning we were reminded of one of the reasons we started the blog: a conversation with a colleague about what the best plain t-shirt to wear beneath a suit jacket was. And the funny thing is, we still don’t … Read More about Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Modern scoopneck tee
Coffee Break: Assouline/Cole Haan Bookbag
Reader D sent us in this new-to-us Assouline/Cole Haan collaboration: a gorgeous bookbag, covered with numbers. (Assouline is a French book company, apparently.) Love. Love! Can we say: love? It’s definitely on the splurgy side, though: $450, available in brown (pictured), black, and red. Assouline/Cole Haan Bookbag Update: looking for something similar? As of 2022 … Read More about Coffee Break: Assouline/Cole Haan Bookbag

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

It seems to be hitting the model at the perfect point — just at … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Calvin Klein Gored Skirt
Suit of the Week
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, which should be as classic and basic as you get — instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional. For today’s suit pick, … Read More about Suit of the Week
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Ruched Cotton Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Nordstrom has a ton of cute work-appropriate dresses in the $150 and under range right now. We’re really liking this simple black faux wrap dress which, apparently, is almost a “stretchy denim material,” according to the one reviewer (who raved … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Ruched Cotton Dress
Coffee Break: Darleen Pump
We like the look of this pump from Joan & David — particularly because it’s only a 2.5″ heel, which is our preferred shoe height. It comes in both black and brown, and the black is on sale today — was $88, now $79 at Endless. Circa Joan & David Women’s Darleen Mid Heel Pump … Read More about Coffee Break: Darleen Pump
Tuesday’s TPS Report: San Sebastian Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Coffee Break: Clear Lucite Necklace
Today we’re loving the idea of a chunky, clear lucite necklace — which eBay has aplenty, at very reasonable prices. We’d wear it with a casual outfit like a fuschia tee and gray pants, or even a colorful twinset and a skirt — for some reason we think we’d avoid wearing it with blazers or … Read More about Coffee Break: Clear Lucite Necklace
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Snap-Front Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We are normally (really) not fans of orange, but something about this jacket looks so, so luxe to us. The fabric looks unusual, and the detailing at the nipped waist — and the snaps on the front of the jacket … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Snap-Front Jacket
Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Looped Trim Top
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Friday! We just got this top from Ann Taylor Loft, and are liking it — it’s a wide scoop that doesn’t feel quite so wide because of the looped trim, and the cotton has a nice weight to it … Read More about Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Looped Trim Top
Coffee Break: Kooba’s Piper Bag
We’re not sure if it’s an official sale or what, but Zappos seems to have a ton of totes on sale for 20% to 30% off. We’re liking this hip take on a briefcase/tote from Kooba, a brand we know and love well — the leather is particularly luscious and soft. The berry color strikes … Read More about Coffee Break: Kooba’s Piper Bag
Thursday’s TPS Report: Basic Check Collar Polo
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Polos can be great for the spring or summer, because they can be a cool look with a pencil skirt and cardigan, or they can dress up something like a pair of jeans for a truly casual office or networking … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Basic Check Collar Polo
