Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Nordstrom has this dress 60% off — was $398, now $159.20; limited sizes only. The pros: love the sleeves, the ladylike skirt length, and the stretch wool. The possible cons to consider: the exposed zipper, and, ah, that neckline. Numerous … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Darlene Stretch Dress

Coffee Break: Jonnie Hobo Bag
I’ve posted the Kooba Jonnie bag before, but I really do think this is a classic with a slight rock and roll vibe, and at the prices I’m seeing around the web — around $250 for a $500 bag — it also seems pretty affordable. I’m a fan of the teal at Zappos (pictured; $249), … Read More about Coffee Break: Jonnie Hobo Bag

Coffee Break: Marieclairehigh3 Pump
I was going to recommend this other lovely Geox pump when this deeply discounted, unusual cornflower blue peep toe caught my eye. $45 for a $150 shoe? Sign me up. There are very limited sizes in the blue (it’s full price but more available in the coral and camel colors), but looks like a great … Read More about Coffee Break: Marieclairehigh3 Pump
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Leather-Trim Ponte Flounce Skirt

Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Whew, that was a long week, eh? For this weekend open thread I’m liking this silk top from Joie.

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Tuxedo Blazer

And for $24, … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Tuxedo Blazer
