Wednesday’s TPS Report: Rebecca Taylor V Neck Tunic

September 24, 2008 in Fashion, The Personal Shopper (TPS) by C | No comments

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We begin the week in splurge mode, with our most expensive suggestions, and wind our way to Friday, where a less expensive item of clothing might be just what you need to make it to the weekend.

We like this laid-back v neck tunic from Rebecca Taylor — it’s pretty and modern in an old-fashioned, romantic way — and yet it would be great under suit. How many articles of clothing is that true of? Better yet, the tunic is on sale at Shopbop - it was $228, and is now $159. (The version in white is even less!) Rebecca Taylor V Neck Tunic

Thursday’s TPS Report: MICHAEL Michael Kors Printed Pleated Scoop-Neck Top

This is the kind of top we love to collect — comfortable tees with an abstract print. It looks great with jeans, as shown here, but it’s also great under a suit, or worn with a shrunken jacket and trousers, or peeking out beneath a slender cardigan, worn with a pencil skirt. This one is on sale at Macy’s right now for $44.62 (was $59.50). MICHAEL Michael Kors Printed Pleated Scoop-Neck Top

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Ali Ro Button Down Ruffled Blouse

Have we mentioned before how happy we are, this time of the year, to wear a chipper yellow top, especially with cool gray trousers? If you’ve got any with a dark purple stripe through them we’d pair this shirt with those and rock it out. If you’re slightly more daring (perhaps on the weekend) this blouse would also rock with skinny purple cords. Available at Tobi for $152. Ali Ro Button Down Ruffled Blouse

Tuesday’s TPS Report - Theory Ornella Silk Blouse

Ombre is hard to pull off at the office, which is why we love this beautiful silk blouse by Theory. The colors say fall to us, the ombre is on trend, and the silk is refined and beautiful for the office. We’d wear it with a long strand of pearls (or perhaps the Dean Harris necklaces on sale at Target now) with a shrunken blazer or cardigan, and wide trousers. Available at Revolve Clothing for $215.

Thursday’s TPS Report - RicRac Building Blocks Top

We haven’t been able to get this top out of our head since we saw it in the Anthropologie catalog. It’s jersey, which means it’ll be comfortable and easy to care for; the empire cut is incredibly flattering, and the “overlapping shapes of eggplant, olive and evergreen” will look great with just about any color trousers or suit. For evening you can throw on a sparkly bib necklace (all the rage these days, apparently) and lose your jacket or cardigan to feature the bow-tied back. Available at Anthropologie for $78.

Wow, we are really craving fall, apparently — we are loving this rich green top. We’d wear it under a gray suit, or to pick up a subtle green in a tweed or houndstooth. Love it! Available at MaxStudio.com for $168. PINTUCKED SILK CHARMEUSE BLOUSE

Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: DKNY Jeans Split-Neck Pintuck-Yoke Top

We’re liking this split-neck top from DKNY, on sale at Macy’s for $24. It could look appropriate under a suit or with nice trousers (possibly with a tank top underneath to add opaqueness and raise the neckline a bit) — but it’s great for transitioning to a more casual night, because it will also look great with jeans. Available at Macy’s on sale for $24 (was $49). DKNY Jeans Split-Neck Pintuck-Yoke Top

Thursday’s TPS Report - INC’s Short-Sleeved Cowl-Neck Sweater

Short-sleeved sweaters are great for transition weather, and this one is a great update on a basic — the little ruched bit under the cowl, the puffed sleees ending with the band, the ribbed hem — we like it all. (Is it just us, though, or does the model look a bit alarmed? Anyway.) Available in green, purple, and black, from Macy’s, for $59. INC International Concepts Short-Sleeved Cowl-Neck Sweater
