These aren’t exactly seasonal, which is probably why Zappos has them on sale today. Still: love the vintage vibe, the skinny heel, and the cutouts on the side. I’d probably go for the black suede, but these camel suede ones are gorgeous too, and just might be “nude” for some ladies. The were $298, now … Read More about Coffee Break – Cybil Peep Toes

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I am always a fan of a wrap top.

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 for women, 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: Phoenix Silk Crew Neck Tee
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I always like a silk tee, and this is no exception — the colors seem fresh and springy, the pattern is interesting up close but abstract enough far away, and it would look great with a variety of work clothes, … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Phoenix Silk Crew Neck Tee
Bad Habits and the Office
Reader E has a question about bad habits at the office, from nail biting, cuticle picking, hair twirling, and more… I must not be the only nail biter/ cuticle picker. What do all the over-eaters, hair twirlers, nail-biters do? I think it’s incredibly unprofessional to be nibbling at my hands all day…. Great question, E! … Read More about Bad Habits and the Office
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Printed Mesh Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. In my opinion, it’s the rare floral print that successfully walks the line between looking “not too young” and “not too old,” but I think this print from Kay Unger accomplishes that. There are fun colors in a fun design, … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Printed Mesh Dress

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Reversible Extra Fine Knit Cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Love the look of this reversible linen cardigan. Something about the shawl collar and the long hem reminds me of old-timey smoking jackets — I can almost picture Katharine Hepburn running around in this, belted, on top of her trademark … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Reversible Extra Fine Knit Cardigan
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I came across these shoes while randomly trolling around Zappos, and they totally make me drool. First, Ferragamo is always a brand that is mentioned when we talk about comfortable heels, but the brand is sometimes lacking in a bit of — oomph, perhaps. These sandals pack … Read More about Weekend Open Thread
