I like the ruffle on this one and the fact that it’s 100% wool — it’s going to be much … Read More about Coffee Break: Ruffle Wrap

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Leena Tailored Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Looooove this simple black dress from Reiss. A v-neck that is, finally, completely work appropriate. A nice, high neckline in the back — with a non-exposed zipper. Plus, it’s fully lined. Huzzah! It’s $340 in sizes 0-10. Reiss Leena Tailored … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Leena Tailored Dress
Coffee Break: Penelope Flat
We’ve covered foldable flats a few times in the past, so I don’t write about them often, but I definitely use the few pairs I have pretty frequently — I even took some with me to my cousin’s wedding a few months ago as a back-up option. I love the little mesh details and fun colors on … Read More about Coffee Break: Penelope Flat
The Hunt: Strappy Pumps
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.

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Silk Tie Neck Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Silk blouses are classic items for a working wardrobe, and I’m liking these affordable tie neck ones from Wyatt.

Coffee Break: Yves Crocodile Embossed Leather Tote Bag
Ooh la la — I love this teal and black tote bag from Pour la Victoire. The deep colors and zipper/croc details are all right up my alley. This is also available in a butter yellow (limited stock), which is less up my alley, but may be up yours. The bag was $395 but is now … Read More about Coffee Break: Yves Crocodile Embossed Leather Tote Bag

I feel like the gray color keeps it from feeling boudoir, and in general it looks really pretty but professional. … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Lace Crop Grey Cardigan
