Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
One of our favorite places to shop when we’re in London is always the Karen Millen store — her clothes are professional with a bit of a sexy twist. (She’s been in the States for several years now, although for some reason we never think of it when we’re near her New York store, in SoHo.) In any event — we really like this cotton jacket for the office. We love the way the stripes play off each other — check out the lapels (diagonal) and the belt (vertical) — without being too busy. We like the cuff on the jacket, and the low button stance. Great, interesting look — we’d wear it with a neutral sheath dress (black, we think) and perhaps shoes that matched our skin tone. It’s $199 at KarenMillen.com. Tailored Knit Jacket

White House|Black Market is having a great spring sale right now, including this peplum jacket, which we’ve been seeing everywhere of late. (A refresher: a peplum is technically a skirt attached to a jacket; in its 2009 incarnation we’re seeing short flaps on the frontside of the jacket extended from the waist down. It gives the jacket more flounce and accentuates your waist.) We like this for a basic black jacket to keep in your office this summer and throw on over — well, everything — if you’re not already wearing a jacket or cardi. It’s on sale — now $99, was $158.

We love this great navy jacket with a preppy contrast trim — and with the ponte knit, this will fit and feel a bit more like a sweater. Ann Taylor has a variety of matching navy pieces (pants, skirt) but otherwise, we’d recommend wearing this with a gray, purple, or white sheath dress or trousers. It’s on sale for $69 (was $150).

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

Oooh: a great, splurge-worthy piece from 3. Phillip Lim — a lovely cream jacket to add to your spring working wardrobe. We love the floating epaulets, the toggle closure, and the artfully placed (and functional) pockets. It’s nice with a delicate dress, as shown, but we think it’s even nicer with a brightly-colored tank and a pair of black slacks, or perhaps a pastel tee and a pair of brown or navy slacks. It’s $525 at Net-a-Porter.com. 3.1 Phillip Lim Cotton-Blend Military Jacket

We love this jacket from Nanette Lepore. The wooden buttons, the creamy white tweed, that peplum flounce… love it, love it, love it. We’d wear it on top of sheath dresses primarily, but also with wide trousers. We also love the price: it’s on sale from $495 (there’s a version that is a deep pink still at that price) to $294 at Nordstrom’s. Nanette Lepore ‘Joy Hunt’ 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.

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.

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
