Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Mayda Leather-Buckle Sweater
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I really like this cozy sweater from Lauren. The high neckline looks cozy to me, not stuffy, and the wrap detail and leather buckle look really flattering. I also think it’s unusual to find a “luxurious stretch knit with touches … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Mayda Leather-Buckle Sweater
Coffee Break – Apollo Hobo
I have long been a fan of Botkier bags, and own three myself — the bags all have super soft leather, smart details (pockets, feet, keychains, etc) and an ever so slight rocker vibe to them. I’m digging this hobo on clearance at eBags. The bag seems the right size to be a “big” hold … Read More about Coffee Break – Apollo Hobo
Sheer Blouses: Some Don’ts Should Stay Don’ts
A reader alerted me today to a post on XO Jane about a fashion editor wearing a sheer top to work, entitled “DO THIS DON’T: WEAR A SHEER SHIRT TO WORK.” Uh, no. Now, as this editor admits, she’s never worked outside the fashion and beauty world, so maybe our resumes just aren’t lining up … Read More about Sheer Blouses: Some Don’ts Should Stay Don’ts
Thursday’s TPS Report: Silk Cotton Interlock Shaped Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I think this could be a great basic cardigan/jacket for the office.

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. Yawn: there … Read More about Suit of the Week: J.Crew

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Cap Sleeve Top
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Nordstrom has a fair number of BOSS Black items marked down right now, including this cap sleeve top. I’m a sucker for almost any abstract black and white pattern, but I love the way the drape affects the pattern here. … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Cap Sleeve Top
Coffee Break – Air Tali Ballet Flat
Endless has a number of Cole Haan Air ballet flats marked down, including this brownish “greige” color. I like the lace-up details, as well as the mixture of patent and suede — I’d wear them with neutrals (brown, gray, beige, black, navy) as well as with some of the brighter “pops” of colors we’re seeing … Read More about Coffee Break – Air Tali Ballet Flat

Splurge Tuesday’s TPS Report: Printed Wrapped Waist Silk Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Wow: love this multiprink silk dress from Issa, available at MyTheresa.
