Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We’re normally against bowties, but we’re digging this bright silk blouse from Anthropologie.

Suit of the Week
For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning.

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Amelie Silk Blend Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

We love the fact … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Amelie Silk Blend Dress
Coffee Break: Satya Hoop Earrings
We love these small hoop earrings — we like that they’re small (.75″), delicate, and pure silver. They also strike us as something you can answer the phone in, which is always a plus with earrings. The small ones are $38 at Momastore.org. Satya Hoop Earrings (L-0)

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Long Sleeve Belted Mock Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Today we’re liking this interesting jacket from Anne Klein. Admittedly, we’re a little confused as to how it’s a “mock” jacket — the buttons are decorative? Mostly decorative? You pull it over your head? With that caveat (and a minor … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Long Sleeve Belted Mock Jacket
