Thursday’s TPS Report: Silk Mini-Dot Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Today we’re liking this silk blouse from White House|Black Market. We like how it’s on-trend with the ruffles down the front, but it strikes us more wearable than a lot of the blouses we’ve seen out there this season. We … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Silk Mini-Dot 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. We’re liking this white … Read More about Suit of the Week

Wednesday’s TPS Report: ‘Riley’ Stretch Wool Pants

Tuesday’s TPS Report: ‘Jereni’ Silk Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We’re liking this interesting Tory Burch dress, recently reduced at Bloomingdale’s. We’d wear it with neutral shoes and, perhaps, white or silver accessories for springtime. Was $395, now $276 (size medium only); use code FFMARCH at checkout for another 20% … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: ‘Jereni’ Silk Dress
Coffee Break: Foster Necklace
We’re loving this cool pendant necklace from Amy DiGregorio — the bone ring (1″ in diameter) is hip and interesting, but could be right at home with a buttoned blouse. It would stand out the most against dark skin, and be a statement piece — we also like it with pale skin, though, because it … Read More about Coffee Break: Foster Necklace
How to Survive the Outlet Mall
This weekend — spurred by the beautiful weather and the fact that I haven’t been shopping for far too long — the hubs and I trekked to Woodbury Commons, a Chelsea Premium outlet mall about 50 miles north of NYC. The whole trip was doomed — we arrived too late, couldn’t find parking, then separated … Read More about How to Survive the Outlet Mall

After an entire winter of everyone (including us) saying, why are there no dresses with sleeves, the fashion powers that be think we … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Wool-blend pencil dress
