Teal is one of the only colors I don’t have in my bag collection, and I’m not sure why — it looks bright but versatile, and would be a fun pop of color against outfits with purple, red, blue, and more. This bag was $458, but is currently marked down to $275 at 6pm. Marc … Read More about Coffee Break: Washed Up Billy

Guest Post: Planning for Retirement — But Not How You Think
Retirement — and retirement hobbies — are likely a long way off in your mind. But I like to be prepared, so I asked Lisa from Privilege what those of us who are still working should know. Can one prepare to pursue hobbies? Were there things she thought she’d love but hasn’t -— or hobbies that, once she got … Read More about Guest Post: Planning for Retirement — But Not How You Think
Thursday’s TPS Report: Vee Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Today is the first day the Roland Mouret collection at Banana Republic is available, and it looks like some pieces are already in limited supply on the web site.

Suit of the Week: Ann Taylor
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 pindot … Read More about Suit of the Week: Ann Taylor

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Cashmere Space Dye Tank
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I thought this was Missoni when it first popped up in my Shop It To Me email — but this cashmere, space-dyed tank top is all Michael Kors. I love the vibrant green and think it would be a great … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Cashmere Space Dye Tank
Coffee Break: Verona Seam Detail Jacket
This looks more like an outdoor than an indoor jacket to me — but I’d probably wear it as both, truth be told. I like the bright blue and the seam details, and the high funnel neck. It was $395 (and the black still is), but this happy bright blue is marked down to $180. … Read More about Coffee Break: Verona Seam Detail Jacket
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Two-Button Blazer with Tie-Stripe Ribbon Trim
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I like the preppy look to this wool blazer (with just a hint of stretch!) and stripey tie ribbon details — it looks like a fun take on the classic. It’s $298, and available in sizes 00-16, at Brooks Brothers. … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Two-Button Blazer with Tie-Stripe Ribbon Trim
Coffee Break: Gardner Pump
These Joan & David pumps look very similar to old reader favorite the Gila pump, but with a bit fancier of a cutout. These lipstick red patent pumps look absolutely gorgeous, although the light brown, navy, bronze, or black (all patent) are also all good. There’s a blue suede that is also calling my name (of … Read More about Coffee Break: Gardner Pump

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Textured Short-Sleeve Pleated Peplum Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Oooh la la — love this short-sleeve pleated peplum jacket. I love the almost architectural details to the angled seam front, as well as the cutaway hem. I’d wear it with a tank top and a pencil skirt (like this … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Textured Short-Sleeve Pleated Peplum Jacket
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I’m drooling over two simple pairs of boots at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: these lovely flat Fryes (pictured) and these lovely stretch suede heeled boots from Cole Haan. The Cole Haan boots are apparently better for narrow calves, which is definitely not me, so I will continue … Read More about Weekend Open Thread
