Splurge Tuesday’s TPS Report: Michael Kors Silk-blend draped dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We are loving this gorgeous draped dress from Michael Kors. We love the way it blouses over the tied waist, the way it drapes in a ladylike way in the back, and the way you could throw a navy blazer … Read More about Splurge Tuesday’s TPS Report: Michael Kors Silk-blend draped dress

Bargain Friday TPS Report: Lace Print 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, … Read More about Bargain Friday TPS Report: Lace Print Jacket
Coffee Break
Our post on comfortable heels last week generated a number of votes for Stuart Weitzman and Ferragamo, so when we saw these lovely heels on sale (in numerous spots) we had to pass on the news. It’s a 3.5″ heel, but it looks to have a subtle platform, which should be easier for standing. Zappos … Read More about Coffee Break
Reader Mail: When Should I Give Up and Buy a Larger Wardrobe?
We’re curious what the readers have to say about today’s reader mail: This is embarrassing, but I’ve been fighting a losing battle with my weight for a while now. Before the holidays, I had about a week and a half”s worth of clothes that still fit. After the holidays I’m now down to a few … Read More about Reader Mail: When Should I Give Up and Buy a Larger Wardrobe?
Thursday’s TPS Report: Bright Side Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We’re normally against bowties, but we’re digging this bright silk blouse from Anthropologie. We like the unusual color, the cool “waterfall” detailing on the sleeves, and, God help us, even the loosely tied bowtie. We wish the blouse were long … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Bright Side Blouse
Suit of the Week
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. This week, we’re liking … Read More about Suit of the Week
Tool of the Trade: PDF Factory
We don’t know about you, but for the past few years we’ve shared a printer with a group of people. We frequently prefer to read things on paper rather than online — especially if we’re marking something up or comparing documents — and so it’s annoying when we get to the printer to discover that … Read More about Tool of the Trade: PDF Factory
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Amelie Silk Blend Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. OooOoo: we are normally not fans of the sweater dress (starts too clingy, gets too stretched out after wear, and generally a pain to handwash and dry) but we are loving this one from Ralph Lauren. We love the fact … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Amelie Silk Blend Dress
Coffee Break: Satya Hoop Earrings
We love these small hoop earrings — we like that they’re small (.75″), delicate, and pure silver. They also strike us as something you can answer the phone in, which is always a plus with earrings. The small ones are $38 at Momastore.org. Satya Hoop Earrings (L-0)
