I’m not normally into the military trend, but something about this blazer just looks fabulous. Love the bit of lining sticking out on the cuffs, placket, and hem (is that satin? silk?) and the color and shape seem flattering and sophisticated. (I suspect it’s on sale because the model’s pose does such a poor job of showing the blazer!) Was $425, now $255 at Bloomingdale’s Winter Sale & Clearance (sizes 0-8 still left).

Ah, holiday sales. It was this time, just a few years ago that the Saks sale was so good that people whispered the company was going bankrupt. That hasn’t seemed to have happened, but the Saks sale is still quite good — particularly for a splurge. I’m liking this stretch wool dress from Ports 1961 — it’s designer and interesting without being too far out there. Was $595, now $357 — at Saks. Ports 1961 Stretch Wool Gabardine Dress

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.
Alrighty — the gods are not smiling on us today, as this is the third suit we’ve tried to write up. (We realized we promised no more purple suits like this one
, and we got halfway through the write-up on this one
before we realized it was sold out. (We had a whole thing about how plotting to overthrow the universe is a Good in this career environment – shows initiative! — and how everyone should start working on their diabolical laughs.)) But. OK. For reals, we are liking this black suit from Piazza Sempione. It’s your classic stretch wool black suit — the kind of thing you can buy now and pull out as the “good” suit for years to come. It’s even on sale at Saks. The jacket (Piazza Sempione Stretch Wool Jacket) was $995, now $597, and the skirt (Piazza Sempione Stretch Wool Pleated Skirt) was $595, now $357.
