Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This lightweight tweed jacket looks great — the peplum waist, the muted, sophisticated colors (pink and stone). (It is part of the Scandal collection at The Limited, so Olivia Pope would, in theory, approve.) The jacket is fully lined, available … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Tweed Jacket

I could also see this being my go-to scarf for every spring/fall evening out where you aren’t … Read More about Coffee Break: Wool and Cashmere Scarf

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. J.Crew’s Regent Blazer seems really on point these days — the collarless blazer is so in right now, and I like the slightly “upturned” feel to this one.

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Notch Neck Ponte Sheath Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This dress looks gorgeous — sleeves! darts! a great hem length!

Something on your mind? Chat about it here. OK: I kind of love this dress. And I really waaant to recommend it for work… but it’s under the cocktail section. So methinks it may be more of a hot-mama dress. It’s $98, and available in sizes 2-16. Adrianna Papell Pleated Crepe Sheath Dress (L-2)

Coffee Break: ‘Medium Pashli’ Leather Satchel
Hmmn. Azure? Or electric blue? Azure? Or electric blue? Phillip Lim’s very popular 3.1 satchel hasn’t been my favorite in the past — I just wish it were big enough for, say, a legal-sized notepad — but these two (two!) new blue colors are both calling my name. So: azure? Electric blue? Azure? Electric blue? … Read More about Coffee Break: ‘Medium Pashli’ Leather Satchel
