Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
We’ve noticed this blazer before, but never liked the idea of it enough for a Suit of the Week — and, priced at $395, we didn’t like it enough for a “splurge.” But now, marked down 40%, it suddenly seems like a great piece to buy and keep at the office to throw on top of other outfits that need a blazer either because you’re cold, are heading to the CEO’s office and not wearing a suit, or otherwise need to cover your arms. We like the fact that it’s basic black, but with interesting details — the extremely wide lapels, the snap closure hidden behind the tie, and the flattering ruching/A-line effect. Was $395, now $237 at Nordstrom.com. DKNY Tie Front Jacket

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.
We noticed this DKNY suit a week or so ago, and liked the style of it, particularly the fact that it’s unusual yet professional. The drop waist dress (with pockets), the twill jacket, even the use of orange, brown and black (which we’re guessing most women don’t wear together unless you’re a cheerleader for the Cleveland Browns). We weren’t 100% sold on the price, though.
Fast forward to this week, where Bloomingdales is having an amazing sale — 40% off if you spend more than $500. There are tons of exceptions (for example, Theory suits are not on sale, alas), but it’s a great opportunity to get serious deals on bags, basics, and this lovely suit. The jacket was $395, now $237; the dress was $295, now $177.

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.
The 20% off 70% sale rolls on at ShopBop (today’s the last day!) and we couldn’t resist going to see what we could get for less than $100. Our pick for today is this lovely DKNY cropped jacket. Yes, it’s getting a wee bit late in the season for it, but this look has been around for years and will surely be around next fall, as well. We like it worn with a shaped shift dress, or with a long tank or tee and a pencil skirt or trousers. Was $395, now $90 (!!) with the code “20Off70″. DKNY 3/4 Sleeve Cropped Jacket
