Readers recommended these purse shapers in our last discussion on closet organization, and I think they’re a great solution to the problem of having purses that get slouchy if you don’t stuff them with papers when they’re not being used.

Coffee Break: ‘Phoebe’ Mary Jane Pump
This shoe has been around for a long time, and I don’t think we’ve ever featured it in a Coffee Break.
