I’m curious, ladies — am I the only one who is crushed by the overwhelming amount of information hurtling my way on a daily basis? I get about 600 emails daily. Every time I log on to Facebook or Twitter I end up throwing at least 5 new articles onto my “read it later” list … Read More about Open Thread: The Best Apps for Helping with Information Overload

Workwear Hall of Fame: Ponte Knit Sheath Dress
I know I say this a lot, but I really, truly, actually love this dress. Sleeves! A ladylike length AND neckline! A “dry clean” instruction instead of “dry clean only” instruction, meaning I’d probably risk throwing it in my washing machine on delicate and then air drying. And that waist… LOVE those details. It strikes … Read More about Workwear Hall of Fame: Ponte Knit Sheath Dress

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Joselyn Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I love little black dresses like this — the gray tweed front makes it just a little bit different, and the cap sleeves, bateau neckline, and colorblocking all make it flattering and appropriate for work.

Coffee Break: Stretch Twill/Leather Belt, Whisky
Last Call has a ton of fun “statement” belts on sale, including this cool twill/leather belt. For once I love the brown version (although I’d probaby wear it with black anyway). It’s marked to $40 today (was $52). Linea Pelle Stretch Twill/Leather Belt, Whisky (L-2)
The Hunt: Black Flouncy Skirts
Sure, we all know what basics professional women are supposed to have in their closets, but if you’re buying one for the first time or replacing one you’ve worn into the ground, it can be a pain to find exactly the right incarnation in stores. In “The Hunt,” we search the stores for a basic … Read More about The Hunt: Black Flouncy Skirts
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Crepe Seamed Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I love all things blue, of course, and this gorgeous seamed sheath dress from Rebecca Taylor is no different.

Coffee Break: Top Frame Briefcase
I’ve noted before that I’m not a huge fan of briefcases for women — but that doesn’t mean everyone is against briefcases. Brooks Brothers has a number of really gorgeous ones right now, too, including this orangeish brown top frame briefcase from Peal & Co. Gorgeous. It’s $1,500. Peal & Co.® Top Frame Briefcase (L-2)
