Liking these posts? Follow Corporette on Twitter — this is the edited version of what we’re reading! (We also Tweet if we hear about a good sale.)

- Apropos of nothing, we thought we’d post this picture of this Versace - Tweed Short Sleeve Jacket because it illustrates something a few readers expressed confusion over — how to wear a turtleneck with a short-sleeved suit. Pretty, right? AND, the jacket is on sale from about $2200 to $680.

- MUST you go to women’s networking events? Above the Law tackles the question. (Although, let’s not forget “Hiring Partner’s” great analysis of Susan/Mindy’s networking skills. We say, go to the free lunch.) [Above the Law]

- Incidentally, HP updated his post to clarify that a) he has friends who are women, so therefore he’s not against women, and b) he’s anonymous! he could BE a woman. (Yes, and we COULD be a man. Men, even! Anything’s possible.)

- Bargains, bargains, everywhere — Teri Agins offers advice on how to get the most out of it. [WSJ]

- Still have a holiday party to go to, yet no time to shop for a frock? Bunnyshop tackles the question of where to go for one-stop shopping. [Bunnyshop]

- If you’re partying with coworkers, Jezebel distills the various advice articles out there for you: Don’t get too drunkypants. [Jezebel] (Here here! That is why God created the afterparty.)

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Charles Gray Sweetheart Jacket

November 19, 2008 in Fashion, The Personal Shopper (TPS) by C | No comments

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.

Today’s TPS Report is for the petite ladies out there — this beautiful tweed Charles Gray jacket. This is exactly the kind of thing you can pull out on a day where you’ve had two hours of sleep but still need to look very polished in the day ahead: almost no thought is required because accessorizing can really be kept to a minimum. Throw on some black trousers, some black pumps, classic earrings, and the jacket, and run out the door. (We might suggest a t-shirt beneath it, both to safeguard against possible gaping as well as to save on dry cleaning costs, but the t-shirt isn’t going to be seen by anyone.) Was $328, now $195.

Wednesday’s TPS Report: LaROK Piped Knit Jacket

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’ve seen a lot of blazers with piping over the last year or so — all inspired, we think, by a Balenciaga blazer. Honestly? We haven’t liked them that much — they’re a bit too school boy and not very flattering. This one, though, we like — the wide neckline, thin lapels, and the fact that it’s a knit makes it an interesting and attractive sweater, one that’s nicely appropriate for work (perhaps worn over a sheath dress) or on the weekend with jeans. Available at Nordstrom’s (40% off) for $169 (was $288). LaROK Piped Knit Jacket

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Armani Collezioni Three-Button Jacket

September 29, 2008 in Fashion, The Personal Shopper (TPS) by C | No comments

Today’s splurge item is this gorgeous three-button fitted jacket from Armani. We love the fact that it’s jersey — a very comfortable update on a classic shape and flattering fit — and the houndstooth pattern is one that is always fashionable. Available at Bergdorf’s for $1,995. Armani Collezioni Three-Button Jacket

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: K Karl Lagerfeld Tailored Jacket

September 22, 2008 in Fashion, The Personal Shopper (TPS) by C | No comments

If you’re building a work wardrobe, the black tailored jacket is one you can’t live without. Sure, you can go for one on the cheaper side (as we showed in The Hunt a while ago) — but it’s a piece that you’ll wear so often that it makes sense to invest in a designer label. We lurve this Lagerfeld tailored jacket, available now at Net-a-Porter for $730. The diagonal stitching on the front of the jacket is unique and interesting, without ruining the “staple” aspect of the jacket; we also love the double Ks on the button.

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Leifsdottir Daisy Jacquard Jacket

September 16, 2008 in Fashion, The Personal Shopper (TPS) by C | No comments

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.

This is a gorgeous jacquard jacket from Leifsdottir. We love the paperbag waist, the ruching at the neckline, the puffed sleeves, and the bright, happy — yet still fall-appropriate — color. And best of all, the price: it’s available at Nordstrom for $228. We’d wear it with a t-shirt or tank beneath it on a warmer day, or a black or navy turtleneck beneath it on a cool day.

Ooh, the new European collection from Gap.com is great. We’re loving this textured cropped jacket as a great basic to keep at the office and throw on if you’re having a casual day and suddenly get called to the partner’s or CEO’s office. Available at Gap.com for $98. Women: Textured cropped jacket - true black

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: RM by Roland Mouret Vavin Jacket

We’ve been huge fans of Roland Mouret for a few years now — his clothes are beautifully made, heavily influenced by the 1940s, and just generally gorgeous. We’re loving this dark green Vavin jacket, available at Net-A-Porter for the gulpworthy price of $2,385. We love the way the detailing at the neckline almost looks like a hoodie, but it’s actually collarless in the back (and sans-hoodie). RM by Roland Mouret Vavin Jacket

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Diane von Furstenberg Nueva Jacket

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
