We’re loving this interesting skirt from Elie Tahari. The ruching across the front, paired with the dead simple back, strikes us as an interesting yet professional addition to the work wardrobe. It’s $202 at Zappos Couture, available in sizes 6 through 14. Elie Tahari – Kalia Skirt

Reader E write in to rave about these simple black pumps. As she says:
I usually spend much more on shoes, but was pleasantly surprised by these little gems. I started with the Navy and then got all three colors. They’re relatively low, walkable, and super sharp with a side of sexy. They don’t look comfortable, but they actually are! This may not work for everyone, but the heel is narrow and doesn’t slip. I did end with in a half size smaller than I usually wear.
They strike us as classic shoes that would be great to keep at the office, as the fabric won’t fare well on the actual street. Lovely! They’re $78.95 at Zappos.com in a pretty wide range of sizes: 5 through 12. Nine West – Novellos (Black/Black Fabric) – Footwear

We love this large satchel/tote (8″ shoulder drop) from Cole Haan, with its woven leather exterior, and rich, sophisticated red color — we even love the name of the red: Lacquer Red. Like all Cole Haan bags there are special pockets inside for your technology, and the bag is roomy enough that you should be able to fit everything else, as well. It’s $431 at Zappos.

We gotta say, we don’t normally like to wear shoes by Steve Madden — but for some reason we find these irresistible. We love the rich red, the contrast stitching on the cutouts, the buckle, and even the fun blue lining. They strike us as modern but also a bit vintage; sort of a mix between an oxford and a gladiator. Love ‘em. We’d wear them with gray trousers and a black blouse at the office, perhaps with another color in the mix — a purple necklace, a yellow brooch. They’re $49.50 at Zappos.com.

Today’s reader is tired of her black shoes…
I wear black shoes far too often, including with grey slacks. Do you have any guidance on shoe colors and recommendations on what should go with grey?
Well, our love of purple shoes is well documented — really, they’re great with navy, gray, beige, and even a dark green color. Otherwise, we’re getting into your risk tolerance with shoe choice. Red shoe: bold, but can be a great neutral to wear with things. Patent leather red: probably too bold for work. Lately, we’ve been lusting after green shoes, having seen a number of women wearing them. The trouble with green is that, between the shade of green and the shade of your skin tone, you may not be able to wear them with skirts without your legs looking slightly sickly — but if you’re just looking to wear them with gray pants, go for it. We would also recommend playing around with ideas of what you can and can’t wear together — for example, some would say that gray and brown should never go together, but if you wear gray slacks, brown heels, and a cream colored sweater, it can be a lovely outfit.

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.
The best deals usually come from buying classic pieces in their off season. Take, for example, this gorgeous pair of heels by Kate Spade. We love the two inch heel, the multiple 5-star comfort ratings at Zappos, and the vibrant purple suede (as we’ve discussed numerous times, a great way to spice up a navy, black, or gray outfit). And they’re 40% off at Zappos with lots of sizes and colors left? Sold. They’re $157 (were $282). Kate Spade – Cybill (Plum Suede) – Footwear

Happy Monday! We’re loving this gorgeous fitted blazer by Vivienne Westwood for today’s splurge. We love the fitted look, the unexpected pop of color at the collar, and even the unusual shape at the collar. We’d wear this with a bright red, slightly chunky necklace, and neutral pants or a skirt — gray or black, most likely. Available at Zappos for $1,002. Vivienne Westwood – 780069 (Black) – Apparel
UPDATE: We’ve just realized the jacket is on deep discount at Net-a-Porter – it’s barely a splurge at all at $368.

We’re loving this gorgeous camel/bronze pump from Stuart Weitzman — the slight platform in no way offends office sensibility, but combine that with the already lowish heel height (2.75″) and you get a wearable, gorgeous, professional shoe. We’d wear it with white or brown trousers, or pretty much any color of dress. It’s on sale at Zappos — was $298, now $238. Stuart Weitzman – Muse (Bruciato Quasar Patent) – Footwear
