I’ll admit, I would not have picked out these pants based on the picture at right, but reader J wrote in to recommend them, and there are a ton of other positive reviews on the Kohl’s site. Reader J notes “I just got these JLo pants and I am pleasantly surprised – the fit is great. I’m a tall girl and they run long so I did not have to fret about ordering special sizes. I only wish they were available in more colors.” Nice! They were $60, but are now marked to $42. Jennifer Lopez Wide-Leg Pants

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 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.)

Reader 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).

We are loving this navy dress from Banana Republic — it’s simple, classic, and likely to be flattering — we even like how the sleeves are actual sleeves and not cap sleeves. Lovely. It’s $150 at Banana Republic in regulars, talls, and petites.Banana Republic Lightweight wool navy textured sheath dress

We just got this dress, and while we’ll admit that it will be too casual for most conservative offices, we were really impressed with what it is for a $25 dress. The fabric is nice (although a little on the thin side — glad we got the navy), the waist is just the right height, and it flatters curves while keeping a ladylike, knee-length look. The navy is on sale for $25 at Gap.com (online only) in sizes XS-XXL, petites, and talls. Gap Slub Tank Dress

In random Admin stuff:
- I keep forgetting to mention this: I’m coming to Dallas on July 23, and thinking of throwing a meet-up at a bar or some such in the evening. A) Would you come, dear Dallas readers, and B) Where would you suggest?

New York & Co. is having some crazy sales right now — prices up to 70% off, plus take an extra 15% off with promo code 2400 — lots of pieces come below $10. For today’s TPS, we like this pair of pants, which (strictly speaking) is not on sale (but: buy one and get the second pair 50% off). We like the slight bit of sheen to them, and the general flare; we also like that they come in petites and talls. They’re $46.95 at New York & Co., in sizes 0 through 18.
