Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Boden has a lot to like in the clearance section — given the frigid weather in NYC this weekend, a huge comfy sweater sounds about right. This one was $148, but is now marked $59.20-$74 — it’s available in three colors and sizes 2-18. (Pro tip: sign … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Cap Sleeve Surplus Faux Wrap
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. 6pm has a lot of sizes and colors for this Suzi Chin for Maggy Boutique dress, which is typically a reader favorite over at Nordstrom.

Coffee Break – Tamsin Pump
We featured this pump a few months ago in a purple/black spotted haircalf, but Amazon (which actually has a ton of new bags and shoes marked down) has a number of other Tamsin pumps for really reasonable prices right now. Take, for example, these “rose lizard” pumps, pictured (with the name of the pump spelled … Read More about Coffee Break – Tamsin Pump

Thursday’s TPS Report: Melvina Tweed Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I noticed this “Melvina” tweed skirt a while ago and really liked it — it looks like an interesting navy tweed, perhaps with a little bit of a metallic shine to it, and it just looks like a basic great … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Melvina Tweed Skirt
Suit of the Week: Stella McCartney
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. The gray … Read More about Suit of the Week: Stella McCartney
Tales from the Wallet: Setting Financial Goals
You always see personal finance articles advising you what to do at the end of the year — but I see far fewer of them advising what to do financially in the beginning of the year. Personally, I like to do two things around now: a) I take a “financial snapshot,” and b) I make … Read More about Tales from the Wallet: Setting Financial Goals
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Broadway Blend Encore Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Readers continually sing the praises of Pendleton suits, and I like the look of this “encore” blazer, particularly in purple. I like the “superlight wool blend with a touch of stretch,” and the fact that it’s fully lined. The sale … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Broadway Blend Encore Blazer
Coffee Break – Puck’s Garden Mushroom Post Earrings
Personally, I’m really not a fan of post earrings, primarily because I find them uncomfortable to wear while talking on the telephone — but even I couldn’t pass up these cool “garden mushroom” earrings in rose gold vermeil. The organically shaped stud is a chic, minimalist update on a classic look. They’re $55 at ShopBop … Read More about Coffee Break – Puck’s Garden Mushroom Post Earrings
The Hunt: Simple Black Belts
Sure, we all know what basics professional women are supposed to have in their closets, but if you’re buying one for the first time or replacing one you’ve worn into the ground, it can be a pain to find exactly the right incarnation in stores. In “The Hunt,” we search the stores for a basic … Read More about The Hunt: Simple Black Belts
Splurge Tuesday’s TPS Report: Dalmation Print Cotton Jacquard Pencil Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I love this skirt. The contrast hem, the high waist, the matching belt — gorgeous. The pattern reads more “abstract” to me than “brown dalmation” (do such things exist?) but either way it looks fabulous. One minor complaint: for the … Read More about Splurge Tuesday’s TPS Report: Dalmation Print Cotton Jacquard Pencil Skirt
