Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This strikes me as a great color blocked dress from Antonio Melani — I love a good empire waist, and the longer sleeves are unusual on a dress (even if they are only 3/4 sleeves). As far as accessories go, … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Inez Dress

Coffee Break: ‘It’s in the Bag’ Handbag Hanger
Nordstrom has a number of cute accessories on sale right now, and this caught my eye — as part of our handbag discussions last week I know some folks had mentioned people who require an extra chair for their handbag, or only set it down on a napkin. I’ve always been less than fussy myself … Read More about Coffee Break: ‘It’s in the Bag’ Handbag Hanger
Stylist v. Personal Shopper – What’s the Difference?
Today’s reader email about personal shoppers was a bit outside of my area of expertise — so I’ve asked my friend (and stylist) (and former lawyer) Kalyn Johnson to answer it. (Pictured: I’m done with matching socks, originally uploaded to Flickr by susansimon.) First, here’s the question… Could you do a post on the ins … Read More about Stylist v.

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Metallic Herringbone Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We’ve seen this gray, nubby blazer a lot this season — but something about this Michael Kors version seems extra luxe. Love the gray on gray look, as styled here, as well as the slight peak to the shoulders and … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Metallic Herringbone Blazer
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I know, I know — color me 2003; I’ve never quite given up on bootcut jeans, and I think I’m in desperate need of some new ones. Although a fancy pair is great for when you have time to try on a zillion of them, I’ve always … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Merona Jersey Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This skirt is only $15, sure, but the reviews are glowing — particularly from curvy women. They say it’s comfortable, wearable year-round, and washable: sounds good to me. It’s available in brown (pictured), black, and gray for $14.99 (with free … Read More about Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Merona Jersey Skirt
Coffee Break: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Mini
After Tuesday’s discussion on “designer bags,” I was intrigued to see that some people considered Coach or Dooney a designer brand while others scoffed at the idea and suggested only a $1000+ bag could be designer. Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see much said about the “emerging” designer bags,which can offer quality, style, … Read More about Coffee Break: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Mini
Thursday’s TPS Report: Wool Blend Wrap
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This sweater does double duty: it’s a cozy layer of warmth for the office (or even a light jacket) — and it’s an inexpensive way to try a number of trends at once: beige, the dolman sleeved circle cardigan, and … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Wool Blend Wrap
Suit of the Week: Ann Taylor Davis Knit
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. I am normally not … Read More about Suit of the Week: Ann Taylor Davis Knit
When The Job Hunt Drags On…
Reader S, a recent graduate, has a question that, unfortunately, I think a lot of people will be interested in: what should you do when the job hunt drags on (and on)? May I suggest a post on attorneys who, despite trying everything feasible, cannot find sustainable employment? I understand the whole “work for free” … Read More about When The Job Hunt Drags On…
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Origami Detail Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I am loving the origami details on this ponte knit dress from Max Studio. The details here all seem designed to both flatter as well as comfort — the empire waist, the belled sleeves, the looseish straight skirt — lovely. … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Origami Detail Dress
