Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This side-knot skirt from Diane von Furstenberg is gorgeous.

Coffee Break: Jemms Bag
Ted Baker can be a bit too twee sometimes, but I kind of love this purse with the robot wearing a bow. More importantly, it’s one of many Ted Baker pieces on sale at Zappos right now.
