Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Great, simple top from Banana Republic with lovely pleats at the neckline and a flattering empire waist.

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Bloomingdale’s has a number of printed Quotation cotton cardigans on sale in fairly work-appropriate prints.
