Wednesday’s TPS Report: Monica Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Wednesday! I like this sleek blazer from Club Monaco. The frayed edges, the zippers, the uneven pocket distribution — all very chic. I like the minimalist look, but I can’t help that notice that one of those shoulders would … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Monica Jacket
Coffee Break: Cheyenne Pump
These cute strappy pumps first caught my eye over at Shopbop, where they’re full price at $235. They’re a bit high (3.75″) but I can see them being great for the right woman (and the appropriately subdued outfit, since they are a bit sexy). They’re on sale at a bunch of places in limited sizes … Read More about Coffee Break: Cheyenne Pump
When Can You Buy an Expensive Briefcase or Handbag for Work?
A young woman associate wrote to us, wondering if a $2700 bag was too expensive of a briefcase for someone just starting at her law firm.
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Milo Waisted Top
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I am loving this blouse from Tibi. Those cool inside out darts… the unexpected sleeve length… the flared sides… very cool. I even like the bubblegum pink. It’s $295 at ShopBop. Tibi Milo Waisted Top Seen a great piece you’d … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Milo Waisted Top
Coffee Break: Bear Studs
I like these cheeky little bear stud earrings from Bing Bang. The design notes on Bauble Bar state that the bear stands for protection, power, freedom, and courage — but there’s something about the arrows that reminds me of stock market symbols. I like them in rose gold, but they’re also available in silver. They’re … Read More about Coffee Break: Bear Studs
Which Trends Are You Totally Sick Of?
2019 Update: Check out our latest discussion on the 2019 fashion trends we hate. There was a lot of interesting discussion on the weekend open thread about the wedge sneakers — it feels great to know I’m not the only one who isn’t totally on board with them. I thought today we might have a … Read More about Which Trends Are You Totally Sick Of?
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Superstar One-Button Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Bergdorf Goodman has a great selection of jackets right now, including this fun “shocking pink” crepe one from Nanette Lepore. I like the black details — the button, the zippers — and the generally classic construction. I’d probably wear this … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Superstar One-Button Blazer
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I am slo-o-ooo-owly coming around to the wedge sneaker trend. Originally, I hated them — I think they remind me too much of the undone-high-top trend from my youth, and my general attitude is that if my feet are suffering in heels then I want the “credit” … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Geometric Print Long Sleeve Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’ve been on the fence about this dress for weeks, thinking it was a sweater dress — and now that it’s hit the deepest discount I’ve seen it at yet I notice from the 5-star review that it is, in … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Geometric Print Long Sleeve Dress
Coffee Break: Rem Emberme Pumps
These t-strap pumps won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but I think they’re great, especially for “comfort shoes.” I like the vintage vibe, the teeny tiny peep toe and the strappy vamp. They’re actually a really low height if you factor in the 3/4″ platform, which brings the 2.5″ heel height down by a lot. … Read More about Coffee Break: Rem Emberme Pumps
