Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This high-waisted dress is one of the “customer favorites” over at The Limited, and it’s easy to see why –it’s a fun, flippy skirt that’s one of those classics you can wear for years.

Coffee Break: Pola Peep Toe Heel
Ferragamo is always a favorite among readers when we talk about comfortable heels — and Zappos seems to be having a secret(ish) sale on select styles. This darkish taupe is 10% off, which normally I would snub my nose at, but will welcome at this price range. (The other three colors the shoe comes in … Read More about Coffee Break: Pola Peep Toe Heel

Wednesday’s Workwear Report: ‘Nocturnal’ Tweed Blazer
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I go back and forth on this blazer. On the one hand, it’s vaguely reminiscent of that scene in Clueless — but I think she’s actually wearing a Chanel jacket there, which, hey, is always something aspirational. This one is … Read More about Wednesday’s Workwear Report: ‘Nocturnal’ Tweed Blazer
Coffee Break: Panama Leather Shoulder Tote
Ooooh: nice. Sure, sure, I mostly like it because of that blue lining — but it’s a nice looking, lightweight bag. (It actually reminds me of a slightly more fancy version of Everlane’s leather tote, which is also very nice but definitely very plain.)

Holiday Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Happy Fourth of July, guys! May everyone have a long, relaxing weekend. I’ll admit it: I’m enough of a dork that I have holiday-themed PJs. I like these Make + Model PJs because they’re only kinda-sorta patriotic — if you end up wearing them into August (or, hey, … Read More about Holiday Weekend Open Thread
