Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Drape Sleeveless Blouse
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This is your basic shell sleeveless blouse, but I like that it’s only $20 (huzzah!), and I like the little button at the back — it gives it a bit of a nicer look. Reviewers at Uniqlo’s site love it and say … Read More about Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Drape Sleeveless Blouse
Coffee Break: Hummingbird Skull Print Silk Scarf
I don’t know if they’ve jumped the shark or not, but I still find myself wanting an Alexander McQueen skull scarf. This ivory and sky blue one is just so different from what I’d normally think of a skull scarf as looking like — it’s kind of cheeky and fun. If you wear to work, depending on how … Read More about Coffee Break: Hummingbird Skull Print Silk Scarf

How DO you job search when you’re super busy? We’ve talked a lot about interviewing, job-hunting, … Read More about How to Job Search When You’re Super Busy
Thursday’s Workwear Report: Essential Structured Blazer
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Like yesterday’s Talbots blazer, this one from Mango also comes in yellow, but we’re featuring the fuchsia today. I like the modern look of this blazer (which I believe is a bestseller), and the style is different than a lot of things we … Read More about Thursday’s Workwear Report: Essential Structured Blazer
Suit of the Week: Ted Baker London
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. I’ve often … Read More about Suit of the Week: Ted Baker London

In general, which brands do you … Read More about What Brands Do You Covet Most?
Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Aberdeen Knit Blazer
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This bright, happy, yellow blazer is from Talbots. It’s not machine washable, unfortunately, but it does have a fun anchor-print lining and a contrast undercollar, and the knit fabric gives it a comfortable but tailored fit. All the colors (including a very … Read More about Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Aberdeen Knit Blazer
Coffee Break: Marymid Pump
We’ve featured the Marymid pump from Stuart Weitzman before, most recently in our roundup of nude heels, but I hadn’t seen this suede pink anywhere else (because it’s exclusive to Stuart Weitzman). It’s just a really fun, happy pink color, and it’s 30% off right now, so consider it if you happen to enjoy pink suede shoes! This … Read More about Coffee Break: Marymid Pump

Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Feline Peplum Cardigan
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This lovely peplum cardigan from Hugo Boss has been around for years — it’s really become a bestseller of theirs — but we’ve never featured it by itself. Nordstrom has it in gray and “tropical blossom” (a pastel orange-y shade), and Bloomingdale’s has it in … Read More about Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Feline Peplum Cardigan
