Are Scarves Professional Enough?
Update: We still stand by this discussion of whether scarves are professional enough for conferences — but you may also want to check out our more recent discussion of how to wear scarves to work. Are scarves professional enough for conferences? Are there some ways of wearing a scarf that are more professional than other … Read More about Are Scarves Professional Enough?
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Rabat Ponte Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Colorblocked dresses continue to be trendy. Many readers have occasionally likened them to “Star Trek” dresses, and I’ll admit that’s hard to unsee. (Although, as someone whose husband is a huge fan of TNG, I must say: Star Trek fashion … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Rabat Ponte Dress
Coffee Break: Valda Pump
6pm has a number of “desk to dinner” comfort shoes on sale today, include Sofft, Isola, Clarks, Naturalizer, Oh! Shoes, Vanelli, and more. I feel like these Sofft Mary Janes have been around, in one form or another, for years. I’m guessing most people will be thinking one of two things when looking at this … Read More about Coffee Break: Valda Pump
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Halston Heritage Novelty Graphic-Pleat Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This dress feels both familiar and new — we’ve seen the origami/asymmetric dress before, but never quite like this. The long vertical folds on the bodice look flattering and cool (although, BG, can we not call them “crumb-catcher pleats” please?) … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Halston Heritage Novelty Graphic-Pleat Dress
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. It’s September and 70 degrees, so it must be time for corduroys, right? A number of style blogs have heralded the return of bootcut pants (hooRAY, says the lady who never liked skinny jeans) — and I’m loving these well-reviewed baby bootcut cords from Kut from the … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Shawl Collar Sweater
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Stripes have been enjoying a resurgence for years now, but I still really like this shawl collar sweater — it’s the perfect thing to make a structured sheath dress feel cozier, and would look great with just about every bottom … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Shawl Collar Sweater
Coffee Break: Palm Springs Sloan
If any of you are hunting for a navy, lavender, or “pebble” bag, I have the bag for you: the Palm Springs Sloan. I like the scalloped trim, and the huge interior compartments — but I do think it looks much better when carried versus worn on the shoulders — but maybe that’s just me. … Read More about Coffee Break: Palm Springs Sloan
Worlds Colliding: When Networking Groups Want You to Join a Facebook Group
Can you keep your Facebook account private from colleagues and professional friends? Can you grow your career by networking on Facebook and still have a semblance of a personal life? What is the polite way to respond when asked, as Reader E was, to join a Facebook Group for a committee she’s on? I recently … Read More about Worlds Colliding: When Networking Groups Want You to Join a Facebook Group
Thursday’s TPS Report: Landon Peplum Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. The peplum look is a bit played out, for sure, but I like the asymmetrical, ruffled take here — it seems a bit more artsy and interesting than the usual. Neiman Marcus has it in a ton of sizes in … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Landon Peplum Blouse
Suit of the Week: Max Mara
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. Y’know, I … Read More about Suit of the Week: Max Mara
