Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Monday! I am dying for this great “grape” dress from BOSS Hugo Boss — the neckline, sleeves, and hem length all look fabulous for work, while the jersey material, ruching, and wide waistband look really flattering. I’d wear it … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Jersey Dress

Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Maybe you’ve been curious about the over-the-knee boot trend. Maybe you’ve even zeroed in on the well-reviewed Stuart Weitzman 5050 boots, which everyone says are amazing. But: $600 (plus tax) can be a lot to spend on trendy weekend wear. So I was excited to see this … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Chelsea Cardigan Sequin Dot
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

The black on black, … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Chelsea Cardigan Sequin Dot
Coffee Break: Jet Set Large Travel Tote
We’ve featured this bag before, but since the large jet-set tote rarely goes on sale in basic colors (at least so far as I’ve been watching it), I thought I’d post. The bag is a great basic — Saffiano leather to hide scratches, lots of interior dividers, and big enough for lots of stuff (14.5″W … Read More about Coffee Break: Jet Set Large Travel Tote

Asking Your Boss For Help With Networking
If you’re new in the field, should you expect your boss to introduce you to her contacts and take you to networking events? How can you ask her to start helping you network?

Thursday’s TPS Report: Coral Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Both Amazon and Bloomingdale’s have this pretty and colorful sheath dress marked down to $72.

Suit of the Week: Reiss
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. A subdued … Read More about Suit of the Week: Reiss
Beauty Wednesday: How to Apply Mascara
This may well be one of those moments where I’m the insane one, but here’s a question for today’s open thread: how do you apply mascara? I’ll admit: I haven’t done a total survey of the field here, but every YouTube makeup tutorial I’ve ever seen has women applying mascara as the very last step … Read More about Beauty Wednesday: How to Apply Mascara
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Crepe Sheath Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’ll be the first to admit: sometimes I make assumptions on clothes based on the brand. Were this dress by David Meister, for example, I’d call it a hot mama dress and only recommend it for a night on the … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Crepe Sheath Dress
Coffee Break: Carma OT Air Pump
A friend once mentioned to me that she had a hard time finding pumps because she was a size 11. For some reason, years later, I remember this fact, and send her emails like the one I sent her at 8:30 this morning: The Cole Haan sale at 6pm is really good for size 11s! … Read More about Coffee Break: Carma OT Air Pump
