Reiss is another retailer that is fairly new to the States that has some great work pieces (despite their apparent affinity this season for the double-breasted blazer — do those look good on any woman?). For today’s TPS, we’re liking this wrap dress, available in “shell pink” (pictured) and black. We like the pleat details in the front, and we like the fact that the styling seems reminiscent of knitwear rather than a silky acetate, which is what the dress is. We’d probably wear it with layers — perhaps a gray long-sleeved crewneck beneath and gray tights until the weather is warmer, and then perhaps a simple white slip beneath it for the summer. It’s $255 at Reiss.co.uk. Reiss Sky Dress

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 floral print dress from Trina Turk today — the big print that makes it almost abstract, the splash of lime here and there — love it. We’d wear it with skin-toned shoes, pearls, and perhaps a shrunken blazer. It’s $348 at CUSP (which appears to be a Neiman Marcus store) in sizes 0-10. Trina Turk Floral Kiki Dress

We’re liking the looks of this purple jersey dress from Maggy London. We like the ruching at the waist, the 3/4-length sleeves, and the black “buckle” at the waist. We’d wear it with a simple black camisole and some pearls. Was $108, now $43 at Nordstrom. Maggy London Print Jersey Dress

Loooving this dress from the Classiques Entier line at Nordstrom. Love the color, the detailing at the waist, and we even feel like the little bow/sash hanging down gives the dress some vertical lines, making it more slimming. Love. We’d accessorize it with black, with a single bold red accent piece (a necklace, a cardigan). It’s $228 at Nordstrom in sizes 0-16. Classiques Entier ‘Chain Weave’ Dress

Joy! The weekend is here. We’ll be taking Monday off for the MLK holiday; we hope you are as well. In the meantime: Something on your mind? Chat about it here.
Pictured: Our choice for weekend wear shows we are dreaming of warmer weather, but we loooove this silk dress. We’d wear it to a party, or to brunch with a friend, or, well, anywhere. It’s $328 at Free People in sizes XS-L. Beyond Vintage Dress

OooOoo: we are normally not fans of the sweater dress (starts too clingy, gets too stretched out after wear, and generally a pain to handwash and dry) but we are loving this one from Ralph Lauren. We love the fact that the flared skirt, as well as the ruching on the sleeves. The boatneck, the ladylike length — perfect. We’d wear it for a casualish day at the office, perhaps with pearls. It’s $140 at Ralph Lauren in sizes XS-XL. Amelie Silk Blend Dress

Today we’re liking this simple knee-length dress from Talbots. We’d wear an opera-length necklace with it (or perhaps a scarf wrapped once around our neck) and tall leather or suede boots. (And we’d skip the belt — it is not doing the model any favors.) The black dress is full price at $149, but the red and gray versions are on sale for $74. Available in regular, women’s sizes, and petites. Ponte knit bateau neck dress

We mentioned this on Facebook, but thought we’d mention it here also — Boden USA has tons of great discounts, but it seems like most pieces only have a few sizes left.

Banana Republic has a number of good specimens of that elusive beast, the long-sleeved dress. We like the sedate circle print on this, the knee-length skirt, and the flattering ruched waist. Obviously, a camisole will be a must (we’d suggest black); we’d probably accessorize the outfit with a simple pendant necklace and perhaps a cuff worn on top of one of the sleeves. It’s $125 and available in regular, petites, and talls in sizes XS-XL. Women: Circle-print wrap dress – Dark burgundy
