Thursday’s Workwear Report: Zip Pencil Skirt
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I love a good felted wool skirt for work, and J.Crew has a few nice colors of them for $47-$57: light gray, light pink, and a light teal. While I’d probably save the teal and pink for springtime, I’d still … Read More about Thursday’s Workwear Report: Zip Pencil Skirt
Suit of the Week: J.Crew
For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning.

Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Pleated A-Line Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Hump Day! I kind of like that this dress is a hybrid between a drop waist and a fit & flare — it’s more sophisticated than your typical F&F, and yet more flattering than your typical drop waist. And … Read More about Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Pleated A-Line Dress
Coffee Break: Synal Flat
Oooh: these little pointed toe flats are bestsellers over at Bloomingdale’s, and it’s easy to see why — I love the bit of gold in the heel, the classic pointed toe style, and the wintry suede (for non-slushy days or office shoes, at least). Bloomingdale’s has them in three colors, Zappos has them in five, and … Read More about Coffee Break: Synal Flat

Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Mikena Jacket
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This is a new trend for me: these sort of tied cuffs on blazers and sweaters. I like it — it seems fresher and more versatile than bell sleeves — but I haven’t bought anything yet showing it off. This … Read More about Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Mikena Jacket
Coffee Break: Fingerless Gloves
These fingerless gloves are awesome. In the past I’ve had mittens that folded over your fingers (like these Kate Spade ones) and wore them because, while childish, they were very functional for touchscreens and more. These pictured fingerless gloves add a TON more style while sacrificing just a tiny bit of warmth — and you won’t … Read More about Coffee Break: Fingerless Gloves

Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Milena Sheath Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Monday! This azure blue dress caught my eye because it looks classic and refined, but still has a touch of sass in there. I love those darts along the bodice, and call me crazy, but it’s nice to see full … Read More about Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Milena Sheath Dress

Something on your mind? Chat about it here.

It’s on trend with the side slits, … Read More about Weekend Open Thread
