Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. What can I say — I’m a sucker for a grid skirt. We’ve seen some high-end versions, but I don’t think I’ve seen one for under $50 that I liked as much as this one. It’s available in sizes XS-XXL for $29.97 ($59 … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Knit Grid Skirt

Gift Idea: Amazon Echo
My brother and I have a history of gifting my mother robots. TiVo and Roomba are the two that stand out, but I’m sure there have been others through the years.

Thursday’s TPS Report: Betty Sheath Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’ve often admired the vintage vibe with this Betty sheath dress, now on sale over at Boden.

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. Ok, avert … Read More about Suit of the Week: Nanette Lepore
Sexual Harassment at Work
2017 Update: You might want to check out our more recent post on sexual harassment and the #metoo movement. WOW. Staci Zaretsky over at Above the Law has collected some amazing sexual harassment at work stories from women lawyers, and the collection is too… revolting, I guess?… to not discuss over here.

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Sasha Shirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. If you’re normally a Brooks Brothers kind of girl as far as button-front blouses go, Thomas Pink can be a nice way to change it up — the blouses are generally more expensive, but in my experience I’ve found the … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Sasha Shirt
Gift Idea: 23 and Me
I’ve mentioned 23 and Me as a gift idea before, but they’ve been in the news recently since the FDA is now allowing them to include health information in their reports. (They originally included health information, and then the FDA made them stop for a while and only allowed the ancestry portion of their results.) … Read More about Gift Idea: 23 and Me

Coffee Break: Things We Love Maise Bag Charm
Bag charms: yea or nay? I’ve been on the hunt for a new keychain (boring, I know), so I first spied these pom poms over at Bauble Bar and realized they’re not for keys at all but just to hang off your bag strap — now it seems like I see them all over. This tiny … Read More about Coffee Break: Things We Love Maise Bag Charm
