Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Dale V-Neck Sheath Dress with Sleeves
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Wednesday, ladies! This sheath dress with sleeves looks great — and it’s been price-matched, so the black version is 10% off. (The white version is even lower, but the navy is still full price.) I like the length (38.5″), … Read More about Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Dale V-Neck Sheath Dress with Sleeves
Coffee Break: Stacked Heel Pump
When we were doing our roundup of basic black pumps for work yesterday, I found this great — but admittedly more casual — stacked heel pump, and it’s too good not to share. I normally hate a wooden heel (or more accurately, a heel that looks like wood), but I kind of love it now. … Read More about Coffee Break: Stacked Heel Pump

Coffee Break: Nikki 60mm Sunglasses
I have a few pairs of more expensive sunglasses that I adore, but I also like to stock up on less expensive ones to keep in our swim bag or wherever. The consistent thread through all of my sunglasses: the bigger the better. Pictured: These $12 ones are huge, super affordable, and well-reviewed over at Nordstrom — … Read More about Coffee Break: Nikki 60mm Sunglasses
The Hunt: Comfortable Black Pumps
Sure, we all know professional women are supposed to have a pair of comfortable black pumps 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.

Tips for Amazon Prime Day
If you’re anything like me, you’re obsessed with Amazon Prime, particularly the substantial savings you can get on Subscribe & Save items, the quick shipping, and great Prime-only shows like the hilarious but dark Catastrophe. I was intrigued by last year’s first-ever Prime Day, Amazon’s huge summer sale event, but ultimately underwhelmed — I just didn’t see much good … Read More about Tips for Amazon Prime Day
Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Evita Fit and Flare Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. DvF dresses are often heralded as workwear classics (and I’ve said the same about the longer version of the wrap dress), but the problem with many of the dresses is that they’re too short, too low cut (wrap dresses, I’m … Read More about Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Evita Fit and Flare Dress
