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 think … Read More about Suit of the Week: Theory

Coffee Break: Peterson Shopper
I’m liking this simple tote bag from Lauren by Ralph Lauren. Hooray for the tassle and interesting belted look on the outside, and hooray for all of the pockets hidden in the colorful lining. It was $348 but is now marked to $192 at 6pm. Other color options are tan and white, both available at Zappos. Ralph … Read More about Coffee Break: Peterson Shopper

Workwear Hall of Fame: Air Tali OT Wedge 40
These peep toe wedges are from Cole Haan’s popular Air Tali line (which we’ve mentioned before!), and while the wooden heel and open toe make them better for a casual day, I can’t get over that gorgeous purple.

The Hunt: Flared Skirts
Sure, we all know what basics professional women are supposed to have in their closets, but if you’re buying one for the first time or replacing one you’ve worn into the ground, it can be a pain to find exactly the right incarnation in stores.

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Liam Long-Sleeve Colorblock Sheath
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This colorblock sheath has so much going for it — I love the flattering but modest silhouette, the mixed fabrics (you have to zoom in to appreciate the sweater knit at top), and two lovely conservative colors. A+ all around. … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Liam Long-Sleeve Colorblock Sheath
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I love the vintage vibe to these “Wessex Shay” sandals (to say nothing of the many glowing reviews). I’d wear these primarily with a dress (I think they’d be great with a high-low dress in particular, for some reason), but I’d also try them with a boho … Read More about Weekend Open Thread
