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.

If you love DvF’s wrap dresses, but can’t quite pull one off (either because the prints aren’t flattering on you, or wrap dresses just aren’t flattering on you), you may want to try a wrap blouse, like this woven one on sale at ShopBop. Worn with trousers, it’s less feminine than a wrap dress, and there’s no fear of the wrap dress popping open throughout the day. We highly recommend wearing it with a tank top, as almost every DvF thing we own is cut way, way too low for work. Originally $265, it’s now marked to $185. Diane von Furstenberg Camille Wrap Blouse

This week’s suit of the week is a gorgeous black-and-blue plaid number, with gold threads running throughout, from Diane von Furstenberg.  Both the jacket and the skirt would be adorable on their own, or together.  We particularly love the high waist on the skirt — it’s a much easier way to wear the trend rather than, say, high-waisted trousers.  (We also like the fact that the suit is on point with various trends — high-waist, plaid — yet looks like it’ll last for years.)  The Bette jacket is available from Bloomingdale’s for $475; the Adame skirt is $275.

No one does prints quite like Diane von Furstenberg. They’re colorful and playful, yet sophisticated — and lux. Perfect for a pick-me-up as you’re getting dressed for a long day at the office. We’d wear this one under a black suit, or with gray trousers. Available at Saks for $198. Diane von Furstenberg Nadina Blouse

Wow. Wow, wow. We know we’ve said before that we’re not big fans of the short-sleeved jacket, but this is so stunning we might have to break that little rule. We love so many things about this jacket — the seaming along the front and back, the buttons, the faux-belt, the flared “tail” of the jacket, and the sleeves, God, the sleeves. The color is amazing, also. We’d wear this piece as we head into autumn and the office air conditioners finally take a break; we’d also wear it well on into winter with a thin gray long-sleeved t-shirt beneath it, or a white turtleneck, or a black anything, really. (Oooh, or green. Or purple. Or a yellow/gold if we were really feeling daring.) Sigh. Available at Shopbop for $345. Diane von Furstenberg Nueva Jacket
