Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. While the secretary blouse (also called, sigh, the pussy-bow blouse) trend continues to go strong, I’m loving the simpler split-neck blouses we’re starting to see, such as this J.Crew one.

Coffee Break: Painted Edge Market Wristlet
I continue to see more and more wristlets. I like the soft leather on this one from Banana Republic, and particularly the details in a contrasting color — here it’s pink against the orange; on some of the other wristlets it’s blue against gray, or orange against berry. Nice. It’s $59. Painted Edge Market Wristlet … Read More about Coffee Break: Painted Edge Market Wristlet
When to Set Up House (Or: Why It’s OK To Buy Nice Dishes Before You’re Partnered)
When did you first really set up house for yourself — buy dishes and nice furniture? Did you wait until you were married, or when you bought a house or apartment for yourself? When you turned 30? Are you still waiting? I don’t know why this has been on my mind lately, but I just … Read More about When to Set Up House (Or: Why It’s OK To Buy Nice Dishes Before You’re Partnered)

Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I’m one of those people who unfollows “nail” boards on Pinterest like it’s my job — but when someone at SheFinds started Instagramming her cobalt blue nails (a couple times, not just once) I couldn’t resist clicking through. $6, available on Amazon, free shipping… OK, sold. I … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Coffee Break: Celeste d’Orsay Pumps
I like these dark purple pumps from Vince — I always love a good suede d’orsay pump with a reasonable(ish) 3″ heel, and we all know I love purple pumps. Now, I would call this dark purple color a “wine,” or maybe even an “eggplant,” — but not “pomegranate.” I always think of pomegranates as … Read More about Coffee Break: Celeste d’Orsay Pumps

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. Boden recently … Read More about Suit of the Week: Boden
