Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
We saw this in white in Real Simple a few weeks ago, and it definitely caught our eye — the clean lines, the cute pockets, the ladylike shape. Today, we’re liking the yellow version, as it strikes us as a fun way to add a pop of color to an otherwise drab outfit of hues like navy, white, or gray. (It’s also available in a great fuschia pink.) It’s $169 at Talbots, in sizes 2-20 in petites, women’s, and women’s petites. The ruffled-pocket boucle jacket

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
Talbots is having some pretty good sales, but it’s primarily lucky-size territory. (Sizes 10 and up, get yourselves over there and poke around.) For today’s TPS, we like this jacket — an interesting print to wear once in a while, and we like a touch of spandex in a jacket. It comes in black and red, in regulars, petites, women’s, and women’s petites. Formerly $129, now $36, and still available in a wide range of sizes. Lace Print Jacket

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, 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 getting an Audrey Hepburn vibe from this lovely tweed suit from Ann Taylor. The tulip skirt, the shorter flared jacket — they’re both very cool. We wish they had a picture of the suit together — we feel almost certain that the layer beneath the jacket must be as intentional as the rest of the suit, but with the pleating and waistband of the skirt we’re not quite sure how to do that. We’d probably punt and tuck a black or dark gray long-sleeved v-neck. The jacket (Herringbone Tweed Jacket) is $220, and the skirt (Herringbone Tweed Skirt) is $120 in sizes regular (00-18) and petites (00-16). With the promotion going on right now (30% off a suit if you buy both pieces) that brings the price for the set down to $238.
This week’s runner-up for suit of the week: this “tech” pantsuit from Tahari. Its mystery is exceeded only by its power.
