Hello, gorgeous. It’s hard to pinpoint which aspect I like the most about these shoes — the deep malachite color, the stiletto heel, the snake-printed leather, the rounded toe… it’s tough. They’re $325 at Tory Burch, available for pre-order. Marianne Pump (L-2)

Poll: Ankle-Length Pants and the Office
So here’s the tricky thing about office style: it changes from time to time. We’ve talked before on this blog about how I’m a big fan of bootcut trousers because I think they’re the most flattering look — and how I think “shorter” pants (capris, floodies, pedal pushers, whatever you want to call them) are … Read More about Poll: Ankle-Length Pants and the Office
Thursday’s TPS Report: Silk Solid Long Sleeve Button Back
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Tegan is a new brand to me, but they seem to have a lot of nice workwear pieces right now. For example, I like the little things on this crewneck blouse, from the detail at the neck, to the three-quarter … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Silk Solid Long Sleeve Button Back

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Double Weave Angled Shawl Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Coffee Break – Freshwater Pearl Pendant with Diamonds
I’m normally opposed to diamonds for the office, but I think this pearl drop necklace is classic enough to break that little rule. I love the simple shape and the white gold setting — and the fact that it’s on deep discount at Lord & Taylor. The necklace was $1,000, but is now marked to … Read More about Coffee Break – Freshwater Pearl Pendant with Diamonds

Coffee Break – Leather Obi Waist Belt
I’m digging this leather obi belt from ASOS. You can use this to spice up your usual sheath dress or cardigan, or even to add an interesting detail under a blazer (almost like a vest, but… not.) I’d probably skip the bow and just knot it, but that’s me. The belt is $26.51-$33.14 in regular … Read More about Coffee Break – Leather Obi Waist Belt
