It seems like eons since we’ve seen a good looking A-line skirt suit, so we sat up and took notice when we saw this one at Dillards. We like color of the “light coffee bean stretch sharkskin” fabric, and the fact that it’s a mix of wool and spandex doesn’t hurt either. The seaming details throughout are nice, as well as the double pocket flaps. The jacket (Antonio Melani “Struss” Jacket
) is $199, the skirt (Antonio Melani “Betse” Skirt
) is $99, and the pants (not pictured, Antonio Melani “Maxine” Pants
) are $129.

We found this fabulous hunter green herringbone suiting collection through the dress, actually — we nearly posted it as a TPS by itself and then realized it had matching pieces. Still: LOVE the dress, the high neckline, the nipped waist — and even the slight cap sleeves, which won’t bunch up under your jacket but allow you to take your jacket off and roam the halls. The green herringbone is an interesting fabric, as well — we’d wear the pieces as separates and accent with black, navy, cream pieces — or even a dark purple. The jacket (Antonio Melani “Adam” Jacket
) is $199, the dress (Antonio Melani “Nasira” Dress
) is $159, and the pants and skirt (not pictured) are $129 (Antonio Melani “Antonio” Pants
) and $99 (Antonio Melani “Katie” Skirt
).

We’re liking this white suit with beige contrasting details. It strikes us as interesting but professional, and avoids the “prissy” vibe that afflicts a lot of white suits. (And for whatever reason, we love the brown The jacket (Antonio Melani “Cruz” Jacket

Dillards is having some great online sales, and if you try to ignore the fact that, without fail, the model is wearing ugly sandals with pants that are too short. We like this charcoal Antonio Melani suit — we think it would go great with a dark purple or royal blue top. The jacket (Antonio Melani “Zelia” Jacket
) is marked down to $83.58 (sizes 4, 10, 12, 14 only), and the pants (Antonio Melani “Antonio” Pants
) are now $54.18 (sizes 6 and 12 only).

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
We’re really liking this merino wool cowlneck from Antonio Melani — particularly the slight dolman sleeves and the way you can wear the neckline multiple ways (lower, like a boatneck; higher, like a scooped cowl; or wider, almost off-the-shoulder). It seems versatile and classic at the same time, and we love the range of colors it comes in: ivory (pictured), raisin, moss, espresso, eclipse, and black. It’s $119 at Dillards, available in sizes XS-L. Antonio Melani “Clarissa” Cowlneck Sweater
