We love a good deal on a basic, like this lovely leather belt from Brooks Brothers. (Incidentally, there seem to be a lot of great deals to be had on shoes and accessories at BB right now.) This belt was $128, now $38 (size M only). Buffalo Thin Belt

We’re loving this purple belt from Melamed today. We particularly like the deep, eggplant color. We might try it worn over a heather gray cardigan, perhaps with a navy pencil skirt. Available in sizes S and M at Bluefly.com for $87 (was $175). Melamed purple patent leather ‘Demi’ belt

Banana Republic is having yet another online-only sale today (20% off orders of $75+ with code BRSAVE20), and we’re digging this wide belt that has some leather, and some cloth. We like that the reviewers all rave about the amount of stretch in the belt and the way it lays properly; we think it would be a great way to add some shape and spunk to a sweater dress or cardigan. It’s $38 at Banana Republic in sizes XS/S and M/L. Leather knotted belt

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.
This week’s Suit of the Week was suggested by reader L, who loves the definition this suit gives her waist. We like it too — the basic gray color, the fit of the jacket and the length of the skirt are all the marks of a winning suit. We also like the price (on sale to $130, was $280) and the range of sizes (sizes 8 through 16 are still available). Tahari by ASL Belted Skirt Suit
, available at Macy’s.

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We begin the week in splurge mode, with our most expensive suggestions, and wind our way to Friday, where a less expensive item of clothing might be just what you need to make it to the weekend.
We don’t usually do accessories, we know, but we lurve this Julie K Handbags Bridget Belt
from Couture Candy. It’s bright and fun, and we could see it adding considerable punch to some of your more droll office basics. Available in blue, green, and yellow.
