Wednesday’s TPS Report: Bi Stretch Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. A good A-line sheath dress can be oh so hard to find — which is one of the reasons we like this dress from Anne Klein. We also like the pleat detailing at the neckline, the pleating on the skirt … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Bi Stretch Dress
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Super 120s banquette dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. OK: Let’s all agree to ignore the styling (unless you have something really witty to say, in which case, bring it on). Still: this is a fabulous dress. Love the sleeves, the darts in the “fitted bodice,” the slight A-line … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Super 120s banquette dress
Emergency Reader Mail: What to Wear to an Informal Interview?
2018 Update: We still think this is a great discussion of what to wear to an informal interview — but you may also want to check out our more recent discussion of what to wear to an informational interview. We haven’t answered this kind of question in a while, so we thought we’d answer reader … Read More about Emergency Reader Mail: What to Wear to an Informal Interview?
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Topper Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. In keeping with our apparent newfound love for electric purple (seriously, no idea why but we are seeing it everywhere for fall!) we like this textured wool jacket from Donna Karan. We like that it’s big enough to fit over … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Topper Jacket
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. For weekend wear, the farthest we might venture into the “peep-toe bootie” trend is this Matteo pump (which even then is technically not a bootie). We like the fact that it’s beige (elongates the legs), has a platform (easier to walk in) and dips down in the … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Swag Pencil Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Today, we like this simple cotton/spandex pencil skirt. We like that it’s machine washable, and that the chains and bow details at the belt are removable if they’re not your thing. The skirt was $88, and is now $49.99 at … Read More about Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Swag Pencil Skirt
Coffee Break: Saba Necklace
This strikes us as an amazing alternative to a classic 16″ pearl necklace — love the color, and the pop of blue — and there’s something nice about being able to answer the question “what IS that made of” with “vintage red Ethiopian ‘tomato’ glass, Bali silver & sapphire nugget.” We’d wear it with a … Read More about Coffee Break: Saba Necklace
Poll of the Day: Will You Wear a Peep-Toe Bootie to Work?
So I have been seeing the peep-toe bootie every.where this season, usually styled with skirts or cropped pants. And I always think the same thing — “Cute! But definitely in that ‘I’m-so-hip-I-don’t-need-to-wear-flattering-clothes way.’” You know, like harem pants and those huuuge 80s-ish glasses that some kids wear. The peep-toe bootie trend also strikes me as … Read More about Poll of the Day: Will You Wear a Peep-Toe Bootie to Work?
Thursday’s TPS Report: Herringbone band blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Gap has a number of cute items right now (cardigans and t-shirts and blazers!) and our favorite is this hip herringbone blazer, which reminds us of (a more expensive) one we featured a few weeks ago. We’d wear it with … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Herringbone band blazer
Suit of the Week: ‘Diffused Melange’ Suit
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. Love the look of … Read More about Suit of the Week: ‘Diffused Melange’ Suit
