Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Long-Sleeve 100% Silk Blouse

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

Worthington® Long-Sleeve 100% Silk BlouseHappy Friday! For your consideration: JC Penney has a number of really affordable silk blouses. Inexpensive silk blouses have their pluses and minuses, but given the trend right now for slightly sheer, drapey blouses, I have a feeling these would be right on point. I like the white one (with a white cami beneath it, of course), but there are a number of fun colors. The blouse was $40 but is now marked to $24 on sale; it’s available in misses, petites, and talls, sizes XS-XL. Worthington® Long-Sleeve 100% Silk Blouse

Thursday’s TPS Report: Jacquard Blazer

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

Zara Jacquard BlazerZara has a number of cute blazers right now. Particularly, I’m lusting over this fun green jacquard blazer (as well as this wide-striped blazer). I’d wear the green jacquard blazer to work with black, gray, white, or navy, and accent with purples or brighter blues. The blazer is definitely a bit of a statement piece, but I could see it being great for networking cocktail parties. It’s $99 at Zara. JACQUARD BLAZER

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Printed Linen Blazer

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

Calvin Klein Jacket, Printed Linen BlazerIt’s still a bit chilly for linen (at least here in NYC!) but I’m sure the summer heat will be upon us before we know it — and when it happens you’ll be glad if you have a linen blazer in your closet. I particularly like the fact that there’s a print on this one — better to hide the wrinkles! — and I like the print in general, which seems fun without being crazy. I’d wear it on top of navy or white dresses, or, for some reason, other vibrant colors; wearing it with either black or pastels seems wrong. It was $129, but today is marked to $105 at Macy’s.

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Italian Ponte Sheath Dress

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

Classiques Entier® Italian Ponte Sheath DressSo. Pretty. Yellow is a bold color to wear, which is probably why this dress also comes in simple black — but the yellow is so happy! For once I love it with black accessories (the belt and shoes), but I might also do gray, red, or purple accessories instead. Love the cowl and the sleeves. It’s $228 in sizes 0-14 at Nordstrom.

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Structured Jersey Jacket

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

Donna Karan Collection Structured Jersey JacketDonna Karan has a number of jersey jackets for sale right now that look like they have strong seams to give structure (or at least the appearance of structure) to a fairly casual material (jersey), as well as interesting details like the folds and tucks. This particular jersey jacket is my current favorite. I’d probably primarily wear it open on top of colorful sheath dresses, perhaps with a long necklace to better frame that low V. The jacket is $1295 at Nordstrom. Donna Karan Collection Structured Jersey Jacket

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

Sheath Dress with Power-Mesh Control by Shape fx Good looking sheath dress from Spiegel! I’ve never tried their Power-Mesh clothes by Shape fx, but they’ve had the partnership for years now, which is usually a good sign.  For $34 (and in a wide variety of sizes– regular, petite, plus, and tall), this well-reviewed dress seems worthy of a try. It  was $79, but is now $34, on sale at Spiegel.com. Sheath Dress with Power-Mesh Control by Shape fx
