Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Thurday! Today I’m loving this interesting sweater from Central Park West.

Suit of the Week: Ann Taylor Wool Sateen
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.

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Embellished sweater jacket

We all know I love a good sweater jacket, and this one is no exception — even with the “eye-catching embellishment,” which looks (to my eyes, at least) muted enough for the workday.

Although summer is normally the time you think about the importance of having underwear to match your skin color (white pants, anyone?) the winter can also be problematic — light-colored blouses, sweaters, and layering pieces like t-shirts can all leave you a bit “exposed.” While a camisole can sometimes be an answer, a surer bet … Read More about Coffee Break: My Skins Lingerie
The Hunt: Shrunken Blazers and Sweater Blazers
Sure, we all know what basics professional women are supposed to have in their closets, but if you’re buying one for the first time or replacing one you’ve worn into the ground, it can be a pain to find exactly the right incarnation in stores. In “The Hunt,” we search the stores for a basic … Read More about The Hunt: Shrunken Blazers and Sweater Blazers
