Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Truth be told, I’m kind of over the peplum look — but I do think this Rebecca Taylor top looks like an outstanding version. I like the navy tweed, which is going to give it a lot more structure than … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Tweed Peplum Top

Coffee Break – Pointy-Toe Pump in Nolita Print
I spent far too long this weekend browsing the new Prabal Gurung for Target collection online, but I have to say: there’s a lot of cute stuff, whether for work or play. For today’s coffee break, I like these colorful pumps — personally I’d wear them with a black pencil skirt/black turtleneck combo, but I … Read More about Coffee Break – Pointy-Toe Pump in Nolita Print
What Is the Best “Professional” Haircut?
Here’s a question we haven’t talked about in a while: what is the best professional haircut for women? I can remember, years ago, that Angela Merkel’s short, almost mannish cut was THE cut to have. Not just for women of a certain age, but for a lot of women who were coming up the ranks. … Read More about What Is the Best “Professional” Haircut?
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Belstaff Camborne Stretch-Flannel Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Neiman Marcus has added over 5,000 pieces to its online clearance section, with prices up to 65% off — and while there’s a lot in all price points, the “premier designer” section is always fun to look through. I like … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Belstaff Camborne Stretch-Flannel Dress
Commuting Hall of Fame: Hunter Rain Boots
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Whether NYC gets 3 or 30 inches of snow this weekend, it seems pretty sure that it’s going to be an unpleasant, yucky weekend. Truth be told, I usually prefer my Hunter boots (with warm socks!) to my snow boots unless there are major snow drifts — … Read More about Commuting Hall of Fame: Hunter Rain Boots

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Knit Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Old Navy has a nice looking, casual knit blazer. The navy stripe (pictured) is almost entirely sold out, but it’s still available in solid colors red, gray, and navy. I think it looks like the perfect addition to a “working … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Knit Blazer
Coffee Break – Jethro Woven Leather Shoulder Bag
Ooh: mama like. I love the texture to the woven leather bag, the single leather handle (although it apparently comes with an additional detachable shoulder strap?) and the magnetic fastenings at top. At 2.4 lbs it’s a bit of a heavy purse, but if that isn’t an issue, it looks like a gorgeous bag. It’s … Read More about Coffee Break – Jethro Woven Leather Shoulder Bag
Suit Jacket Ripped? Some Thoughts on Repair…
What do you do if the elbow of your suit jacket ripped? Reader K has a great question… I just had the elbow of a blazer (mid-price point Club Monaco suit) tear. What do you suggest I do? Can I put elbow patches on it and turn it into a casual piece for Fridays? It … Read More about Suit Jacket Ripped? Some Thoughts on Repair…
Thursday’s TPS Report: Colorblock Herringbone Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I like this little sheath dress from Tahari Arthur S. Levine. I think the colorblocking looks really flattering, and I like that instead of just a basic gray it’s a herringbone pattern. You can’t see the pattern very well on … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Colorblock Herringbone Dress
Suit of the Week: Calvin Klein
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. Hmmn. Hmmmn. … Read More about Suit of the Week: Calvin Klein
Beauty Wednesday: What Do You Keep Trying?
I thought today we would talk about the beauty and hair things that we want to like and adopt into our repertoire — but that, despite multiple tries, you still don’t quite “get”. Weird question, I know, but for me I can list a few things that are in this category: – False eyelashes — … Read More about Beauty Wednesday: What Do You Keep Trying?
