Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Weekend recommendation, pictured: For some reason today we’re in a black-tie kind of mood.

Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Modern scoopneck tee
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This morning we were reminded of one of the reasons we started the blog: a conversation with a colleague about what the best plain t-shirt to wear beneath a suit jacket was.

Coffee Break: Assouline/Cole Haan Bookbag

It’s definitely on the splurgy side, though: $450, available in brown (pictured), black, and red. Assouline/Cole Haan Bookbag Update: looking for something similar?

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Ruched Cotton Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Nordstrom has a ton of cute work-appropriate dresses in the $150 and under range right now. We’re really liking this simple black faux wrap dress which, apparently, is almost a “stretchy denim material,” according to the one reviewer (who raved … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Ruched Cotton Dress
Coffee Break: Darleen Pump
We like the look of this pump from Joan & David — particularly because it’s only a 2.5″ heel, which is our preferred shoe height. It comes in both black and brown, and the black is on sale today — was $88, now $79 at Endless. Circa Joan & David Women’s Darleen Mid Heel Pump … Read More about Coffee Break: Darleen Pump

Coffee Break: Clear Lucite Necklace
Today we’re loving the idea of a chunky, clear lucite necklace — which eBay has aplenty, at very reasonable prices. We’d wear it with a casual outfit like a fuschia tee and gray pants, or even a colorful twinset and a skirt — for some reason we think we’d avoid wearing it with blazers or … Read More about Coffee Break: Clear Lucite Necklace
