When to Accommodate Co-Workers
When should you accommodate coworkers to be a “team player” — and when should you hold your ground to avoid looking weak? Reader K wonders, particularly whether she should give up her window: I have an office etiquette question. I’m a lawyer in the public sector and we were recently told that we’re going to … Read More about When to Accommodate Co-Workers
Thursday’s TPS Report: One Button Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Good morning, sunshine! This blazer is bright, to be sure, but it looks well made and like a fun addition to a wardrobe — I particularly love those darts.

Suit of the Week: Saint Laurent
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.

Beauty Wednesday: They’re Real! Mascara
So it takes a lot for me to rave about a new beauty product, but I really do love this mascara that I recently bought, They’re Real! from Benefit.

Coffee Break: Labradorite Lapis Ring
One of my favorite “fun” stones is labradorite, and it seems to be having a moment right now. If you’re not familiar with it, it can be a bit like a gray moonstone, with some rainbows hidden in it, as well as a few sparkles. This ring — with what looks like an absolutely gorgeous … Read More about Coffee Break: Labradorite Lapis Ring
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Mindy Silk Jersey Wrap Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Everyone has always said that DvF wrap dresses are a “classic” for the working wardrobe — but in my experience they’re often way too low cut for that to actually be true. (Hello, camisoles!) So I was excited to see … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Mindy Silk Jersey Wrap Dress
Coffee Break: Air Talia Wedge 40
I’m sure I’ve recommended this exact shoe in the past, but a) it’s a classic, and b) I actually haven’t seen this nice navy suede color before. Something about it just strikes me as so pretty — and at $106.99 (40% off) it’s not a bad deal. 6pm.com has it in four other colors, including … Read More about Coffee Break: Air Talia Wedge 40
