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.
The skirt is what stands out most to me about this suit (which is, alas, probably why the skirt is not on sale even though the jacket is) — I love that little asymmetrical ruffle, as well as the fact that it has a bit of stretch. The jacket looks like a great basic, also — all those buttons and the vertical seams make it interesting without being fussy. The jacket (Nanette Lepore ‘Sultry’ Jacket) was $498, but is now marked to $248.90, and the skirt (Nanette Lepore ‘Betrayal’ Skirt) is still full price at $248.

Today I’m loving this origami sheath dress in one of J.Crew’s suiting materials, wool crepe. The slight A-line skirt — the cap sleeves — the high neckline — the beautiful folds at the neck — it all seems really lovely. It’s available in four colors (charcoal, pictured, as well as a light gray “cool dusk,” a beige “morning fog,” and a “decadent red”) at J.Crew for $188. Origami sheath dress in wool crepe

So I’ve just had a lot of fun trolling the Saks sale, with prices up to 40% off. (There are actually quite a number of cute things under $200, but that’s no fun for a Splurge Monday!) For today I’m liking this gorgeous wrap skirt from Yves Saint Laurent. Love the texture to it — it’s a blend of cotton, wool and silk — and that it looks classic but really interesting and unique; I also love the longer length and the belt buckle on the side. Gorgeous. It was $1450, now marked to $869.99 at Saks.com. Cotton/Wool Asymmetrical Wrap Skirt

P.S. Let’s ignore the odd cropped top that it’s shown with, and collectively pray that cropped tops don’t come back in fashion.

Ann Taylor is taking 30% off all dresses this week, meaning that this great knit dress (viscose, polyester and elastane) becomes pretty darn reasonable. We like the interesting but demure neckline, and the ladylike knee-length. It’s available in peacock (pictured), a winey red (“port”), a gray, and a black, in regulars, petites, and talls. Was $98; price comes to $68ish after the discount. Asymmetrical Neck Knit Dress

We’re loving the asymmetrical ruched waist on this faux wrap dress, as well as the deep, rich color. We’d probably wear with a brooch, or possibly a long, opera-length necklace. It’s $128 at Nordstrom, available in sizes 2-14. Suzi Chin Maggy Boutique Ruched Faux Wrap Dress
