Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Oooh: love this dress (which also comes in a light green over at the Boss website).

Happy MLK day, guys — I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend.

Holiday Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. The crossbody trend continues to go strong, and I like this one from MZ Wallace — it looks lightweight and large enough for your regular wallet.

Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Shawl-Collar Knit Blazer
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I was poking around for sweater blazers the other day, which are one of my favorite kinds of cardigans for work, and could barely find any under $300 — except for these from Macy’s, which kind of look amazing. I … Read More about Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Shawl-Collar Knit Blazer

These coated canvas bags from Liberty London look amazing. The colors are bright and fun, and I always love a good coated canvas bag for durability, strength, and not adding too much extra weight. There are three colors; they’re $450 at Neiman Marcus. Liberty London Marlborough Little Tote Bag Here’s a lower-priced option. (L-3)

Thursday’s Workwear Report: Karson One-Button Suiting Jacket
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I love these kinds of shrunken blazers — I think they’re comfortable, flattering, and easy workhorses for your wardrobe.

Through this morning (8 a.m. CT), it’s … Read More about Thursday’s Workwear Report: Karson One-Button Suiting Jacket
Suit of the Week: Tahari
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. I’m not … Read More about Suit of the Week: Tahari
Tales from the Wallet: Paying Down Debt vs. Saving
It’s the New Year, and I heard a lot of chatter among commenters about when they should be paying down debt vs. saving. It’s a huge question, and we’ve talked about some related things (like how to pay off huge student loans and live within your means), but we haven’t talked about when to save vs. when … Read More about Tales from the Wallet: Paying Down Debt vs. Saving
Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Striped Open-Front Blazer
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Oooh: this blazer looks a lot more expensive than $104. (I’m reminded of this Hugo Boss suit!) I wish the skirt were still available, but by itself the blazer is pretty great. I’d keep the rest of my outfit neutral, … Read More about Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Striped Open-Front Blazer
