Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Hooray for the weekend! This strappy print dress jumped out at me recently and now I kind of can’t stop thinking about it. It looks great as styled here with strappy sandals, but they also have a picture of it styled with a moto jacket and booties … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report:
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Friday! This ribbed tee looks perfect for work and beyond — the perfect kind of tee for layering beneath suits as well as a good “jeans and tee” kind of shirt. I like the idea of layering delicate necklaces … Read More about Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report:
Coffee Break: Prism Heels
Oooh: a 2″ heel that is not only fashionable, but one of the Barneys’ team’s favorite heels (according to an email newsletter I can no longer find)? Sign me up. I like the winey purple color here, and the gold, prism-shaped heel — while unusual — seems pretty demure considering the height. Love. The pictured … Read More about Coffee Break: Prism Heels
Thursday’s Workwear Report: Japanese Oxford Bib Shirt
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Huh. I have a love/hate relationship with Everlane, in that while I love much of what is there, when I get it home and try it on it turns out it hates me and my curvy body type. Still: I have … Read More about Thursday’s Workwear Report: Japanese Oxford Bib Shirt
Suit of the Week: Talbots
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. Up front, … Read More about Suit of the Week: Talbots

Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Plaid Contrast Pencil Skirt
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. First, the bad news: this skirt is almost entirely sold out. But for the few lucky sizes left, it’s on a great discount ($795 to $318), is made of Italian wool, and hides a fun little surprise: a bright orange gusset … Read More about Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Plaid Contrast Pencil Skirt
Coffee Break: Potted Pen Phone Stand
I always like any desk accessory that adds a nice pop of color, and this plastic “potted pen” desk accessory from Kikkerland looks like just the ticket. There’s a simpler version that’s avaialble at Amazon and ModCloth, but I like that this one serves as an iPhone tray and catches other miscellaneous things floating around … Read More about Coffee Break: Potted Pen Phone Stand

Splurge Tuesday’s TPS Report: Mirasol V-Neck Wool Dress

I hope everyone had a great long weekend (what’dja do for fun / buy at the sales?). This simple wool V-neck dress has so many details I love — the longer elbow-length sleeves, the longer hemline, the … Read More about Splurge Tuesday’s TPS Report: Mirasol V-Neck Wool Dress
Holiday Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I feel like this sweater is the perfect intersection of “slouchy” and “sexy” — very French in a way. I’d wear it with ripped jeans for a friend’s casual house party (or, hey, a sports-watching party, if you’re into that). It’s $108 at Nordstrom (where they just launched … Read More about Holiday Weekend Open Thread
