Reader A clued us in to this really cute dress, one of many that’s on sale right now at Athleta. We like the long length of it, and like the ballerina vibe we’re getting. We’d probably wear it layered for the office — camisole or turtleneck beneath, with a cardigan or blazer on top of it for the office. Was $98, now $49.50 at Athleta in sizes XXS-2x and in colors black, gray and brown. Athleta Pintuck Ponte Jumper

We’re loving this interesting skirt from Elie Tahari. The ruching across the front, paired with the dead simple back, strikes us as an interesting yet professional addition to the work wardrobe. It’s $202 at Zappos Couture, available in sizes 6 through 14. Elie Tahari – Kalia Skirt

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.
First: Applause to a designer for figuring out that a mini-skirt is not the right look for a suit. And we loooove this suit — but we might caution that the look is going to look amazing on a beanpole, but perhaps a bit frump for a curvier girl. Still, for the ladies who can wear it, this is a great look — the piping makes it just a bit different, and it accomplishes being ladylike and a wee bit sexy, all at the same time. We also like the fact that it’s a dress. The whole thing is a tiny, wee bit of a splurge: the jacket (Piped Jacket) is $1295, and the dress (Piped Dress) is $995; both available at St. John’s Knits.

Oooh — great basic black pump from Bruno Magli on sale at Endless. Classic, with positive reviews — the leather looks particularly supple to us. They were $325, now $190, available at Endless. Bruno Magli Women’s Contursi Pump,Black

Endless has some great sales going on right now, including a fair amount of Taryn Rose shoes. We like these simple black patent loafers — we particularly like the teeny heel and the very slight point to the toe. They were $395, now $225; still available in sizes 6.5-9.5.

Great, simple top from Banana Republic with lovely pleats at the neckline and a flattering empire waist. We like the idea of wearing it under a cardigan, hopefully with a similar neckline, for a layered look. It’s $32, and is available in both regular and petites. Pleat-neck 3/4-sleeve top – Black

If you’ve been on the hunt for a basic black leather tote bag, we think this bag nails it — big enough for most size docs, helpful zippers and pockets — and on sale. Nice. Was $398, now down to $290. Francesco Biasia Roselena Tote (Note that Zappos has it in blue
, also, albeit at a higher price.)

Piperlime is having a one-day sale — take 20% off any regular (not final) sale items. We like these simple black trousers from BCBGMAXAZRIA which, amazingly, are still available in sizes 2-10. We like the viscose/wool/spandex mix (the spandex can be so important for comfort, mais oui?) and the slight flare below the knee. Formerly $196, now $144, with the price dropping to $116 with the code TREAT4ME (with free shipping both ways). Women’s apparel: BCBGMAXAZRIA Carla Classic Slim Flare Trouser – Black

Alrighty — the gods are not smiling on us today, as this is the third suit we’ve tried to write up. (We realized we promised no more purple suits like this one
, and we got halfway through the write-up on this one
before we realized it was sold out. (We had a whole thing about how plotting to overthrow the universe is a Good in this career environment – shows initiative! — and how everyone should start working on their diabolical laughs.)) But. OK. For reals, we are liking this black suit from Piazza Sempione. It’s your classic stretch wool black suit — the kind of thing you can buy now and pull out as the “good” suit for years to come. It’s even on sale at Saks. The jacket (Piazza Sempione Stretch Wool Jacket) was $995, now $597, and the skirt (Piazza Sempione Stretch Wool Pleated Skirt) was $595, now $357.
