Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Bluefly is having some killer sales right now — clearance is up to an extra 40% off. I like this periwinkle tee (which has a matching wool blazer if you like to coordinate colors like that), as well as another … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Sivan Gathered V-Neck T-Shirt

Coffee Break – Zuma Beach Kelsey Shoulder Bag
Hooray for crinkled patent leather tote bags in “deep African violet.” And animal print lining! I wish this bag came with a leetle bit more organization inside it (a pocket for my cell phone, perhaps) but sometimes you just want a big space to throw stuff. Gorgeous. This baby is on sale, too — was … Read More about Coffee Break – Zuma Beach Kelsey Shoulder Bag
What to Wear to Pump at Work: Tips for Nursing Moms
What ARE the best clothes for pumping breastmilk at the office? What should nursing mothers wear to pump at work? This is a question I get asked so often, I thought we’d have a discussion about it. (We have talked about it once before, from guest poster Jenny Hamilton, who had some great general advice, … Read More about What to Wear to Pump at Work: Tips for Nursing Moms
Thursday’s TPS Report: Ruched Sleeve Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Whoa, you guys, I think this is a first: there is a cobalt version of this blazer available, and I actually prefer the grey. (The cobalt’s up there, though.) Something about the slightly heathered gray strikes me as just a … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Ruched Sleeve Jacket

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Cuillin Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This is an unusual dress — and yet, it reminds me of Akris’s scene-printed dresses from a few seasons ago. I like the relaxed “fit and flare” style, the ruching at the top, and the heavy silk. With a dark … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Cuillin Dress
Coffee Break – Ramona Pumps
Sometimes, you just want a great black pump. These Sofft Ramona heels are unusual for a comfort brand in that they’re really high — 3.5 inches! — but they have a 5/8″ platform, making them seem like they’re much lower than they are. I’m not a huge fan of platforms for the office, but I … Read More about Coffee Break – Ramona Pumps
Open Thread: What Do You Shop For On eBay?
We spent the weekend doing some around-the-house stuff, such as finally getting pants to the tailors, taking a huge pile of clothes and shoes to Goodwill, and — oh yes — posting a few things for sale on eBay. While posting a few shoes and dresses, I of course did my research and looked at … Read More about Open Thread: What Do You Shop For On eBay?
Splurge Tuesday’s TPS Report: Wool Amara Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Wow. Take notes, ladies: this is how you do a contrast trim blazer. Love the fact that the trim is just on the lapels and pockets, not on the bottom hem of the jacket — and I love the shrunken, … Read More about Splurge Tuesday’s TPS Report: Wool Amara Blazer
