Thursday’s Workwear Report: Cutout Shoulder Sheath Dress
Readers go back and forth on whether or not they like cutouts. I’m a big fan, but I get a lot of pushback from readers saying they’re not professional — it’s definitely a know your office kind of situation. I think this dress in particular isn’t that bad because it doesn’t show more skin than you’d … Read More about Thursday’s Workwear Report: Cutout Shoulder Sheath Dress

Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Playing Favorites Mila Square Neck Sheath Dress
I always forget about Antonio Melani because I don’t frequently shop at Dillard’s, but this sheath dress looks great. A lot of their other sheath dresses do, too — they have sort of a Black Halo / Classiques Entier / Hugo Boss look to them, but of course they’re much more affordable.

This gorgeous blazer has lace details on the front as well as the back. Its puffed sleeves honestly gave me pause, though, because even though it’s a nice feminine look, it also sort of reminds me of stuff that was very popular when I started the blog almost 10 years ago. I’m not sure whether we’re ready … Read More about Tuesday’s Workwear Report: ‘Melody’ Lace Trim Jacket
Coffee Break: Glitter Pocket Tech Accessory
This glitter tech accessory from Kate Spade doesn’t really count as a business card case — it only holds one card.
