Tuesday’s TPS Report: Cashmere Cable Boatneck Sweater
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We just rounded up a ton of cashmere sweaters — many of them on great discounts.

Coffee Break: Bethe Rope Necklace
Longtime reader/ mid-level associate R wrote in to recommend this necklace a few weeks ago: The necklace was a Christmas present this year, and promises to become my new favorite opera-length accent piece.

In general I’m a fan of The Grommet for clever little inventions I never knew existed, so I was excited to get the email about this “secret sweater,” designed for layering beneath a blazer (or wearing on its own). It seems … Read More about Frugal Friday: Secret Sweater Layered Cardigan
Coffee Break: Diamond & Gold Four-Row Antifer Ring
I was shopping this past weekend and saw several pieces from Repossi‘s lilac rhodium plated collection. The pieces look so different — but subtly so — that they blew my mind. They have a much less expensive, simple huggie in the line that I can’t find anywhere online — but this gorgeous diamond ring gives … Read More about Coffee Break: Diamond & Gold Four-Row Antifer Ring
