Alfani Petite Sweater, Long Sleeve Colorblocked CardiganI keep coming back to this Alfani sweater at Macy’s — the yellow/lime looks fun and vibrant, and I think it would be a good match for anything from trousers, to dresses, to skinnier pants, to even jeans on the weekend. I always prefer to wear yellow with gray, rather than black — it can veer a bit towards “bumble bee” if you don’t — but maybe that’s me. The sweater is now $38.35 (formerly $59) at Macy’s.  Alfani Petite Sweater, Long Sleeve Colorblocked Cardigan

P.S. There is a non-petite version as well in a deep pink, but very limited sizes are left.

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 for women, which should be as classic and basic as you get — instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional.

I’m liking this simple gray tweed suit from Talbots’ today.  I like the ruffled back on the jacket, the full lining on the pants, and the fun black and white pattern.  The jacket (Talbots Grace Fit Donegal Tweed ruffle-back jacket) is $199, and the pants (Signature Fit Donegal Tweed wide-leg pants) are $119 (both online only).  A matching skirt (not pictured: Donegal Tweed ruffle-back pencil skirt) is also available, online only for $119.  The jacket and pants are available in regular, petites, woman, and woman petite’s sizes; the skirt is regular and petites only.

Merona® Collection Women's Odette Knit Dress - Navy/GreenHappy Friday! I’m liking this knit dress from Target’s Merona Collection — a straight skirt, a flattering V-neck, and a “tumble dry low” care instruction? Sign me up. I’d wear it with a navy blazer for the office. The dress is also available in black and a taupey “earthworm,” and all 3 colors come in petite as well (navy/green, black, earthworm). It’s $34.95 at Target.

I bought a very similar version of this shirt (in a voile cotton) last year, and it turned into one of my favorite blouses. Perfect for wearing under a blazer (the collar peeks up just so) and perfect for showcasing a necklace. I also like the fact that it can be worn out, belted by itself, layered beneath a tighter sweater, or even tucked. This year they have it in a silk dupioni in regular, petites, plus sizes, and plus size petites in 5 colors: “red desert” (pictured), a light pink, a cream, a black, and a moss green. It’s $79.50 at Talbots. Doupioni ruffle-V top

Ann Taylor Loft City Classic BlazerFor 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’re loving the “midnight charcoal” color of Ann Taylor Loft’s “City Classic” line of suiting, for some reason — it looks like a nice dark gray basic suit, and the price point doesn’t hurt. We also like that it comes in regulars as well as petites and talls. The jacket (City Classic Blazer) is $128, and the skirt (City Classic Pencil Skirt) is $59.50.  (Matching pants — Ann City Synthetic Trousers — are available online only for $69.50.)

Eddie Bauer Shaped Fit Clean Finish Tank TopReader K writes in, noting “I had to let you know about this tank. I own it in four colors and wear it ALL the time. I don’t typically shop at EB, but this is one item that I will continue to buy over and over. I love this tank because it is the only one that I can wear to the office without showing cleavage! I have a short torso and only wear a B cup, but any other cami (especially the ones with a built-in bra-type thing) tends to just shove my chest up and out, which is clearly inappropriate for the office. The tank fits great and I wear it under almost everything since most things end up looking low-cut on me. It runs a little large, so I buy a size down. I also like that it is a smooth cotton, not ribbed, which would be too casual. This is a must have for anyone who has problems finding a cami / tank that doesn’t show cleavage.”  Looks like it’s loved by many — it has 4.5 stars.  It’s available in burgundy (pictured), black, chambray blue, navy, chocolate, ivory and white (in regulars, petites, and talls) and costs $19.50 unless you buy two or more (save $2.50 each).
