Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This seamed A-line dress comes in regular and plus sizes and looks so fabulous on the plus-size model I thought I’d feature that picture. It looks like an easy but professional dress, and I like that it comes in a … Read More about Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Seamed A-Line Dress

Coffee Break / Gift Idea: Hot Sox
I don’t know what this says about me as a person, but as I’ve mentioned a few other times: I’m a fan of wacky socks. Particularly wacky socks hidden beneath boots, whether under a pants suit or a sheath dress worn with tall boots. Something has always appealed to me about knowing your serious work … Read More about Coffee Break / Gift Idea: Hot Sox
The Hunt: Red Cardigan Sweaters
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. In “The Hunt,” we search the stores for a basic … Read More about The Hunt: Red Cardigan Sweaters
Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: ‘Epulina’ Jersey Sheath Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Hugo Boss is killing it lately — I want half of the clothes they’ve got out right now. Love the abstract pattern and the flattering ruching, but also the overall simplicity of this dress: workwear perfection. It was $375 but is now marked … Read More about Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: ‘Epulina’ Jersey Sheath Dress
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. This shoe has 1,988 (!) positive reviews at Nordstrom, and I’m kind of digging it — it reminds me of a slightly more feminine version of Doc Martens (which I’ve been thinking about since I saw Sheryl Sandberg wearing them recently-ish in a casual outfit). I think it’s a … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: 3/4-Sleeve British Tee
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. One of my favorite t-shirt brands is Three Dots, particularly for wearing under suits. They’re opaque, thick, solid t-shirts that fit well and hold up to regular washing. It’s nice to see that Zappos has a zillion colors of this “British tee” … Read More about Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: 3/4-Sleeve British Tee
Coffee Break: Caviar Rope Bracelet
I’m not usually a fan of bracelets — especially for the office (too noisy, interfere with typing!) — but this simple silver bracelet looks great, either as a gift idea or, ahem, for yourself. I like the heavy feel, and the simplicity of the silver. It’s very highly rated at Nordstrom; the pictured one is … Read More about Coffee Break: Caviar Rope Bracelet
Should You Keep Your Blog a Secret at Work?
If you have a personal blog that’s not work-related, should you keep your blog a secret at work? When does your company need to know? Reader K wonders… As a fellow lawyer, I followed your blog closely back in my NYC law firm days. I now have a more flexible legal position.

Suit of the Week: New York & Co.
For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning. In general, this feature is not about interview suits for women, which should be as classic and basic as you get — instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional. There are … Read More about Suit of the Week: New York & Co.
Coffee Break: Extra Large Weekender
If you don’t already have one of these — or if you know someone who doesn’t — this needs to be on your gift list, stat, particularly if there’s airplane travel coming up. Not only does this collapse small enough to fit in the zippered sleeve of most luggage, it’s so durable that you can even … Read More about Coffee Break: Extra Large Weekender
