Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Rick Owens is becoming one of my favorites for splurge Mondays, if only because his mix of sophisticated cool and professionalism feels so spot on.

Coffee Break: Peridot 1 Dress Pump
This lovely 2″ heel caught my eye over at Zappos — and then promptly sold out.
