Coffee Break: Lissa Heels
I love the look of these affordable beigey heels — I always like a strappy heel, and one that doesn’t cut straight across your ankle is a much more flattering, leg-lengthening look. Platforms can be yea or nay with me, but I think .5″ is still professional, and these certainly add comfort along with the height. … Read More about Coffee Break: Lissa Heels

Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Wheeler Pointelle-Trimmed Stretch-Ponte Pencil Skirt
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I wear my hair up a ton in the summer because of frizz and other craziness from my kinda-curly, kinda-wavy hair.

Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Stretch Knit Midi Tube Skirt
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. As far as workwear goes, a tube skirt is second (at least in my heart) to a pencil skirt with a zipper, lining, and other structure — but if you’re hard to fit, on a budget, gaining or losing weight, or you just prefer them … Read More about Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Stretch Knit Midi Tube Skirt
Coffee Break: ‘Zana’ Wedge Pump
Wearing wedges can be a nice way to get height with stability — which is great for commuting and general comfort — but they can definitely feel a little frumpy from time to time. A slender wedge heel like this one keeps it sleek and young, and I like the lowish vamp and not-too-round, not-to-pointy toe. The shoe … Read More about Coffee Break: ‘Zana’ Wedge Pump
