Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I really like this simple black ruched dress from BOSS Black — the faux wrap, blousy look to the ruching, and the slightly uneven hem all look just a bit more interesting than your boring wrap dress. Also: how do … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Side Ruched Dress

Coffee Break – 24k Gold-Over-Silver Filigree Hoop Earrings
I like these small, delicate filigree earrings from Kohl’s — and I think they look a lot richer than $30. These 24K gold-over-sterling-silver earrings look pretty yet serious, comfortable, and classic. They were $70, but are now marked to $31.50. 24k Gold-Over-Silver Filigree Hoop Earrings (L-2)
The Professional Implications of a “Naturally Frowny Face”
A recent SNL episode featured a fictional campaign advertisement for a mayoral candidate. The character, Glenda Okones (played by Kristen Wiig), listed her flaws, including her reputation for being harsh and cold. “Here’s why,” she said: “I just have a naturally frowny face. Not ugly, but certainly severe looking.” Ah, perfect, I thought: an opportunity … Read More about The Professional Implications of a “Naturally Frowny Face”
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Cotton Cummerbund Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Hello: love this blouse. Admittedly, the color is half of it — I have an entire wall of my bedroom painted this color — but it’s the little details that I love the most: the interesting shape to it, the … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Cotton Cummerbund Blouse
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I don’t know if it’s a byproduct from growing up in the 80s, but here’s my dark, deep secret: I often look at leather pants and think, “those are so hot.” I’m told they’re horrible to wear, but somewhere on my fashion bucket list, there’s a hot … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Tie-Waist Dolman Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Dillards has a ton of work-appropriate dresses marked to under $50 right now, and I’m liking this simple dress from Donna Morgan.

Coffee Break – Stitched Hobo
Today’s item is definitely a splurge — but for anyone out there looking for it: hello, Bottega Veneta. I’ve been drooling over this stitched hobo for a few weeks now — love that grained leather look, and something about the short braided strap (it’s 6″) really appeals to me. It’s (gulp) $3,680 at Barney’s New … Read More about Coffee Break – Stitched Hobo

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Day-um — there are some nice deep discounts at Charles Tyrwhitt.

I’m … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Aubergine Button Cardigan
Suit of the Week: Theory
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. Maybe I’m … Read More about Suit of the Week: Theory
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Lexie Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Lovely sheath dress from Elie Tahari, which I first spied at Bloomingdale’s (on sale in black in limited sizes) – but then I realized Lord & Taylor had all 3 colors, more sizes, and a deeper discount: score. I like … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Lexie Dress
