Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We swung by our local Ann Taylor Loft yesterday and loved this bright top. The fabric is similar to a t-shirt, so it’s comfortable, but the pleated detailing makes it just a bit interesting for work. It’s also available in … Read More about Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Pleated Voile Trim Top

Coffee Break: Pave Flower Pearl Pin
A beautiful brooch is one of our favorite ways to go from desk to dinner because it adds a bit of glamour to even the most basic of outfits. Furthermore, the brooch can be a great investment because it can be used in so many ways — worn in your hair, used to secure a … Read More about Coffee Break: Pave Flower Pearl Pin
Will Flats Fly with a Judge? How to Know Whether You Can Wear Flats to Court
An injured woman lawyer wondered: could she wear flats to court?
Thursday’s TPS Report: Graphic Animal Print Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We’re liking this animal print skirt from Ann Taylor, even though (or perhaps because) the print primarily looks abstract to us. Bright pastels, we think, would particularly pop against the skirt — we’d wear it with a basic white tee … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Graphic Animal Print Skirt
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. Today we’re liking this … Read More about Suit of the Week

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Draped Top Mix Media Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Anne Klein has some great pieces on sale right now, including this draped top mix media dress, which we’ve been drooling over since it was $350.

Traveling for Business and Surviving It
Today’s question about traveling for business comes from Nancy P… I’d love a post on tips for traveling for business. (Thought of this last week when I was going to Chicago for a deposition and security took away my spray wax, because apparently it was an aerosol not allowed by the TSA. How am I … Read More about Traveling for Business and Surviving It
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Etiquette Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We’re liking this lovely sheath dress from Trina Turk today, available in white and yellow. We lurve the yellow — perhaps with a navy or gray blazer to make it a bit less blindingly bright. It’s also available in white, … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Etiquette Dress
Coffee Break: Pleated Scarf
Today we’re liking this pleated scarf from Johnston & Murphy. It’s a great basic to keep in your office, if only because — in a pinch — you can use it to mimic a blouse and raise the neckline of a dress that, perhaps, is lower-cut than you originally thought it was. It’s not a … Read More about Coffee Break: Pleated Scarf
