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. Yasssss. Love … Read More about Suit of the Week: Brooks Brothers

Beauty Wednesday: Dry Shampoo
Ladies, what is your favorite dry shampoo? What’s the top quality you look for — and what turns you off about other dry shampoos? As I’ve mentioned before, my favorite dry shampoo (after trying a few) has remained Psssst!, the super cheap, super old-school-looking dry shampoo. Here’s how I apply it before bedtime: I pick up … Read More about Beauty Wednesday: Dry Shampoo
Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Honor Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Ooh: this well-reviewed dress looks both slinky and professional, if that’s possible, and the midi length feels friendlier than other dresses like this I’ve seen, where the only way I can envision them looking good is if you wear sky-high … Read More about Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Honor Dress
Coffee Break: The Modern Point Flat
The pointed loafer — particularly with slits along the vamp so the top feels like a separate piece — is one of the biggest trends in shoes that I’m excited about for workwear. First and foremost, because these kinds of loafers often look great with dresses — and also because they can be more comfortable … Read More about Coffee Break: The Modern Point Flat
Four Reasons to Do a Seasonal Clothing Review
Do you do a seasonal clothing review? Do you have any great stories of things in your closet you’d forgotten about, new combinations or outfits you discovered, or just the general peace that comes from hitting “reset” on your wardrobe?
Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Rhodes Blazer in Italian Wool
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I kind of love that they’ve called this color “wild flamingo.” Not just flamingo, guys — it’s WILD flamingo! Unless you work in a creative field I think an all-pink suit would be a bit difficult to wear, but a … Read More about Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Rhodes Blazer in Italian Wool
Coffee Break: Tropical Floral Printed Scarf
I looove the vivid colors of this scarf — it just seems so happy, and such an easy piece to throw on to liven up a neutral outfit, or to add more visual interest to another outfit like gray pinstriped pants. The scarf was $59.50, but is now marked to $39.99 at J.Crew. You can … Read More about Coffee Break: Tropical Floral Printed Scarf
2016 Trends: What WON’T You Wear to Work?
I’ve noticed a few trends that seem to be EVERYWHERE of late, and I thought we’d discuss, if only because so many of them seem inappropriate for officewear — I’d love to hear your thoughts. What trends WON’T you wear to work? Every office is different, of course — know yours! — but it’s always … Read More about 2016 Trends: What WON’T You Wear to Work?
Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: ‘Shields’ Belted Stripe Silk Shirtdress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Gawrgeous — I’m loving the trend of vertical stripes on dresses right now. This silk shirtdress from Equipment feels grown up and feminine — not “borrowed from the boys” either metaphorically or truly (I can’t stand when “shirt dresses” look … Read More about Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: ‘Shields’ Belted Stripe Silk Shirtdress

Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Wool Blend Pinstripe Blouse
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This entire outfit is now deeply discounted over at Brooks Brothers, which I suppose isn’t that hard to believe considering BB’s base clientele is probably not super interested in pinstriped pants with drawstrings and semi-cropped blouses. Still, I kind of like … Read More about Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Wool Blend Pinstripe Blouse
