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. I’ll be … Read More about Suit of the Week: Boss Black

Tales from the Wallet: Flexible Spending Plans, Health Spending Plans, and More!
We’ve talked a bit about how you can save big money by making use of different employer-offered perks, such as flexible spending plans, health spending accounts, and more.

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Cashmere Blazer – Shawl Collar with Pockets
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I love a shrunken sweater blazer like this — perfect to wear with jeans (as styled) as well as with dresses, trousers, and more. It’s just a bit more structured than a cardigan, and just a bit more comfortable than … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Cashmere Blazer – Shawl Collar with Pockets
Coffee Break – Classic 48-Inch Automatic Golf Umbrella
I normally think it’s rude to carry a huge umbrella on city streets. Sure, the person who carries it stays dry, but everyone else on the sidewalk gets jabbed and poked. But when it’s seriously raining, and you *must* be outside, I suppose that’s when it’s time to break out the big guns: the GustBuster. … Read More about Coffee Break – Classic 48-Inch Automatic Golf Umbrella

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Crest Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’ve been ogling a number of Trina Turk’s ponte dresses for quite a while, but I don’t think I’ve posted one here. For shame! I love the look of this cap sleeve dress.

Coffee Break – Chloe Suede Pump
Hey, you guys know me: I love a purple pump. They’re a great basic that’s just a bit jazzier than a black. I’m not familiar with the brand Ash, but I like the look of these purple suede pumps — especially the price. The shoes were $200, but are now marked to $99, with an … Read More about Coffee Break – Chloe Suede Pump
Variety Versus Routine
I recently read an article about how “boring is productive” — and they cited numerous CEO-types, including Barack Obama, about how when you take certain choices out of your life, you free your brain to think about other things. Obama was quoted as saying: “You’ll see I wear only gray or blue suits. I’m trying … Read More about Variety Versus Routine

The blazer is made of “fine stretch silk.” … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: One-Button Geometric Print ‘Afiraly 1’ Blazer

Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I’m usually able to resist the allure of designer shoes… but my goodness these are gorgeous.
