Frugal Wednesday’s TPS Report: Graphic Framework Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Yes, yes: I love a good print. This “graphic framework” blouse from Anthropologie is no different — but I also love that it’s got a V-neck and a flattering sash tie. I’d wear it with a gray boyfriend cardigan, navy … Read More about Frugal Wednesday’s TPS Report: Graphic Framework Blouse
Coffee Break – Commando Tights
We are firmly into fall right now, and that means I am thinking tights. I had heard about Commando for years as being the best “opaque” tights, but it wasn’t until last year (when I got a pair for free at a Bare Necessities event, to be honest) that I tried them out — and … Read More about Coffee Break – Commando Tights
The Style of Cycling: How to Stay Professional While Biking to Work
Reader S wonders if her refreshing bike ride to and from the office is harming her professional image… I ride my bike to work and struggle to look professional and yet arrive at the office safely at the same time.

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Sleeved Colorblock Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Tuesday! I think this is a really pretty, classy dress from Muse — and it looks comfortable, too.

Coffee Break – Loose Rib Knitted Snood
Hmmn: I’m kind of loving the idea of a snood right now. It’s a scarf! It’s a really chunky necklace! It’s a cowl neck! It can even be pulled down and worn around your shoulders, a bit like a wrap/shrug. Asos has a nice looking one in a variety of fun colors, including a lovely … Read More about Coffee Break – Loose Rib Knitted Snood

Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Zappos has a number of brands on deepish discount this weekend, including Stuart Weitzman, Elizabeth and James, L.A.M.B., Sigerson Morrison, and — wait for it — Salvatore Ferragamo.

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Ponte Knit Pencil Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Well, well: Nordstrom has a number of Halogen skirts marked down, including this lovely blue number (and, yes, this reader favorite). I like the vibrant color, as well as the soft, stretchy knit.

Coffee Break – Caroline Pleated Clutch
As the season for holiday parties approaches, I have clutches on my mind — in part because I have apparently lost my favorite clutch, a blue leather number. I’m eyeing the Lauren Merkin clutches on sale at Last Call by Neiman Marcus for a possible replacement, particularly this pleated “Caroline” clutch. For my $.02, a … Read More about Coffee Break – Caroline Pleated Clutch
