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.

Tuesday’s TPS Report: ‘Kat’ Wide Leg Pants
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I can’t quite say what it is about these trousers, but I keep coming back to them (and I’m pretty sure it’s more than the name).

Coffee Break – Fretwell Satchel
Zappos has a number of nice-looking Aldo purses for surprisingly affordable prices. This purple “Fretwell” (also available in cognac/bronze) looks great. I love the faux ostrich leather and the dark, dark purple. It’s (wow) $48 at Zappos. ALDO – Fretwell (Purple) – Bags and Luggage (L-2)
