Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I’m headed to my hometown this weekend for Easter celebrations with my family — and while we never get that dressed up for Easter, I always feel like a dress like this would be spot-on appropriate. Love the bold graphics, the flared skirt, and — mais oui … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Linen Cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I prefer blazers to cardigans for the office, but I must say I really like this linen cardigan from The Limited. I like the shawl collar, the tie waist, the lightweight fabric, and the 3/4 sleeves. It was $42.90, but … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Linen Cardigan
Coffee Break: ‘Emma’ Pump
Sigh. Gorgeous, gorgeous shoe — and oh so on trend. Current trends seen in this shoe: emerald (color of the year), “single sole” (no platform), ankle strap (they’re everywhere!), pointed toe (they’re ba-ack), and — just so you can’t pull out any pointy-toed, ankle-strapped shoes you may still have from a few years ago — … Read More about Coffee Break: ‘Emma’ Pump
How to Look Professional in Flats — All the Time
How can you look professional in flats — all the time? It can be a challenge to get the same level of polish without heels!
Thursday’s TPS Report: Lace Hem Suit Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This skirt is part of a set (blazer here) but to be honest, I think it might be a bit much as an entire suit. By itself, as a skirt, you have a lot of interesting points — the bold … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Lace Hem Suit Skirt
Suit of the Week: Ann Taylor
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’m not … Read More about Suit of the Week: Ann Taylor
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Gathered Print Sheath Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. In the “around $100” category for dresses, I’ve always had good luck with Donna Morgan dresses — they’re fitted but not skin tight, and they’ve always been good for my curves. This colorful sheath dress looks like a fun addition … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Gathered Print Sheath Dress
Coffee Break: Hourglass Footwear
For the shoe-obsessed woman who thinks she already has everything, I bring you… Hourglass Footwear, where artists hand-paint the shoes. I’m featuring a mid-heel here (named, ahem, “Burlesque”) but they also make platforms, stilettos, flats, and “comfort” shoes. You can even send them a pair of shoes of your own and they’ll paint those shoes … Read More about Coffee Break: Hourglass Footwear
Should You Tell Your Coworkers About Your Miscarriage?
How do you deal with a miscarriage at work? Should you tell coworkers about your miscarriage, or your boss? Reader K wonders… I don’t think you have done a post on having fertility issues while working (please point me in the right direction if I am wrong!). I am an associate attorney and have been … Read More about Should You Tell Your Coworkers About Your Miscarriage?
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Alix Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Personally, I’m more of a black blazer kind of gal — but that isn’t to say that I haven’t gotten a lot of use out of various navy blazers I’ve had over the years. This one from Kate Spade looks … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Alix Jacket
Coffee Break: Rib Control Top Tights
Sweater tights are not for everyone or every office — but if your office is casual enough to get away with them, these ribbed ones from HUE look great. I first saw the colored version of the tights through my Shop It To Me email, which look fun for the weekend, but mostly alerted me … Read More about Coffee Break: Rib Control Top Tights
