Something on your mind? Chat about it here. These aren’t the most appropriate boots for a conservative office, but I lurve them for the weekend. I love the equestrian details, the buckles, and the slightly crackled look to the leather. They’re $200 at Zappos. Dolce Vita Harlene Bootie Here’s a lower-priced option.

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

Suit of the Week: Halogen

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. You have to be careful with geometric necklines — if they’re too crazy, or the dress is too tight, you end up looking like the comic relief in an ’80s movie (Dr. Monica Demonico, anyone?).

Coffee Break: ‘The Urbanista’ Headband
Here’s a serious question: are headbands ever appropriate for the office? I am normally in the “no” camp (at least for most women) but this two tone gold number has me questioning that. I like the thin, spindly nature of this one, which looks both delicate and comfortable. It’s (!) $70 at Nordstrom. Mrs President & … Read More about Coffee Break: ‘The Urbanista’ Headband
