Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I don’t know if this is a new thing from DvF — a cotton t-shirt emblazoned with one of her vintage prints — but I really like the idea of it. Yes, I kind of wish it were silk or … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Falling Stones Tee

Suit of the Week: Pendleton
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. Readers continually … Read More about Suit of the Week: Pendleton
Tales from the Wallet: Who Manages the Money In Your House?
Who manages the money in your house — you? your partner? everyone? This came up recently with a friend, and I thought it might be an interesting open thread. For those of you without a partner, do you want to stay in charge of your finances — or will you be happy to give that … Read More about Tales from the Wallet: Who Manages the Money In Your House?
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Shawl Collar Sweater
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This silk/cashmere sweater caught my eye in green last week, striking me as a more lux version of the Vince Camuto wrap top I posted a few weeks ago. Obviously, there are differences — a much higher neckline, and this … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Shawl Collar Sweater
Coffee Break – Cynthia Pump
I love the look of these cheetah pumps from MICHAEL Michael Kors — there’s also a black snake version that’s quite nice (albeit a bit more subtle than, you know, cheetah). A sale never hurts, either: these were $160, but are now marked $99-$109 at Zappos today. MICHAEL Michael Kors – Cynthia Pump (Cheetah) – … Read More about Coffee Break – Cynthia Pump

With Thanksgiving out of the way, it is officially holiday party season — which means that it’s time to perfect your desk-to-dinner shuffle, if you haven’t already.

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Lady jacket in blue tweed
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Maybe it’s my screen, but the blue tweed just pops out at you — which, of course, I love. The black trim… the saturated indigo/sapphire colors… gorgeous. I particularly like how it’s been styled with another print here: it’s just … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Lady jacket in blue tweed

Purty…. I like this textured snakeskin belt in hues of blue, green, and black.

It’s $34 at Ann Taylor (use code MONDAY to get an … Read More about Coffee Break – Exotic Leather Skinny Belt

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Silk-crepe Pussy-Bow Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m normally on the fence about these blouses — I hate the name of the style (the “pussy-bow blouse”), the bow often looks too fussy, and it generally reminds me of the 1980s in a bad way. But… this particular … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Silk-crepe Pussy-Bow Blouse
