Something on your mind? Chat about it here. No, I don’t know where I’d wear this either, but I’m kind of obsessed with it after seeing Angie at YouLookFab round it up. I agree with her that jumpsuits present “loo” problems, but I really love the boat neckline here, the batwing sleeves, and the drapey … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: “Work the Right Angle” Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This dress from ModCloth reminds me of two other dresses we’ve featured recently (one by Calvin Klein and one by Black Halo, the latter now available at Cusp), but this one has the low low price of $49.99. It also has 217 reviews and … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: “Work the Right Angle” Dress
Coffee Break: Herringbone Double-Breasted A-Line Coat
A month or so ago I was in church (so it must have been Easter; I’m a bit of a Christmas Catholic) and saw a woman with a fabulous, interesting, distinctive coat. It had personality! It had style!

Thursday’s TPS Report: Mixed Media Tweed Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Cute! As always, I love anything that mixes black and navy, and I like the mix of styles here as well — the classic tweed and fringe look very new with the zipper, colorblocking, and shoulder details. I like the … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Mixed Media Tweed Jacket
Suit of the Week: Classiques Entier
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. I love the … Read More about Suit of the Week: Classiques Entier

The single-button blazer is $129 at Macy’s, available in sizes 0-16. … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Single-Button Blazer
Coffee Break: Suede T-Strap Peep-Toes
I’ve been ogling these sophisticated light brown T-strap peep-toes from Brooks Brothers for a few weeks. I like the mixed leathers (suede and patent), the 3″ heel with .25″ platform, and the sale: the heel was $228, but is now $91. (Brooks Brothers is a reader favorite for comfortable heels, so their shoe sale might be worth … Read More about Coffee Break: Suede T-Strap Peep-Toes
Guest Post: Successfully Managing Men at Work
Should you manage men differently than women? We’ve talked about becoming a boss, delegating work, motivating a lazy secretary, and whether you should be friends with staffers — but not this particular topic. I’m honored to welcome Anna Runyan of Classy Career Girl to the blog — a new mama herself (congrats!), Anna is a … Read More about Guest Post: Successfully Managing Men at Work
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Tijana Stripe Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, stripes aren’t typically my thing, but I really like the white/navy/lime colors of this skirt, and the interesting diagonal details, and the two front slits. It strikes me as preppy and fun, but professional and kind of … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Tijana Stripe Skirt
