I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I love a kitten heel for the office. This style from Fitzwell has numerous reviews extolling the comfort and style, and I really like the starburst pattern on the vamp. It’s available in “pewter” (pictured), black patent leather, and (in calf leather) black, brown, and navy….
2018 Update: We still stand by this advice on what to wear to workout in front of coworkers — but you may also want to check out some of our other office-to-gym issues, including our recent post on gym near the office etiquette. Reader M has an interesting question that brings us back to that…
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m always split on blouses like this Hugo Boss Orange one. On the one hand, it reminds me a wee bit of something you’d wear beneath a judicial robe, or perhaps the blouse Jennifer Connelly wore in Labyrinth. However, by…
Reader C wrote in to recommend this item, which seems like it fills a definite niche:
This cami bra is my new best friend. I have it in white and in black. It is perfect under wrap dresses and the like for work. Some people might prefer the “cami” to come up a little higher, but if I need to be that conservative I’m probably wearing a suit anyway. I had been looking for a product like this for years but the ones at Neiman’s were too lacy and crazy expensive. This one is perfect. No more cutting off perfectly good camis so they bottom line won’t show through. Packing for a trip just got easier too. (How many times have I packed the blouse or dress but forgotten the cami?) Incidentally, at least on me, a 34-D, the support and shaping of the bra is very good and the comfort is fine, though I probably could have done with a DD, which is not available.
Wow! The bra apparently features an underwire, so this is a full-on bra (and not, say, a “dickey” like I remember wearing as a teenager — Amazon has a few lace dickies
for sale; they may also be called “modesty panels
“) I do like this more modern cami bra, though, and can see how it would be welcomed by a lot of women in the summertime. This one is $32 at Target, and is available in white and black. Assets® by Sara Blakely ® Foundations Cami Bra
Reader V has a full-fledged shoe debacle on her hands — and she might be charged with delineating (i.e. narrowing) the rules further… We are in the middle of the full raging summer shoe debate at my work place. I work at a CPA firm. We have a no flip-flop policy = no shoes that…
