Coffee Break: Burberry Check Cape
I never get tired of the wrap/cape look, particularly over blazers and suits — it always looks rich, and the wearer always looks like a confident fashionista to me. This Burberry one looks ridiclously warm and cozy — it’s $650 at Neiman Marcus. Burberry Merino Check Cape (L-2)

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Nyleen Challis Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This blouse is a bit on the casual side, as styled, but I’m really digging it — I think it would look as great untucked with cigarette pants as it would, tucked in, with trousers.

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Sleeveless Shift Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This dress looks kind of amazing. Wide boatneck, interesting back cutout (but still appropriate for work, I think — ladies, what do you say?), flattering seaming in the front, and interesting pleating. And it’s still available in sizes 2-16, and … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Sleeveless Shift Dress
