Flannel sheets are not sexy at all, but if you’re looking for crazy-soft, thick, good sheets as the weather gets colder, 6-oz. flannel is where it’s at (followed closely by 5-oz. flannel, but 6-oz. is the softest, thickest, and most luxurious). I highly recommend them if you want to treat yourself. One of the best … Read More about Coffee Break: 6-oz. Supima Flannel Sheet

What Businesswomen Should Wear In the Middle East
I recently got a great question from an old friend, T, that I thought was very interesting and worth a discussion here — she’s wondering what businesswomen should wear in the Middle East (specifically Qatar, pictured with a stock photo here).

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Halloween! This sheath dress is from Emerson Rose, which may or may not be the brand that Nordstrom intends as a replacement for Classiques Entier, which before that sort of replaced Semantiks. (They mix up their house brands from time … Read More about Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Stretch Sheath Dress

The … Read More about Coffee Break: Vixen Bootie
Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Demetria 2 Flare Leg Good Wool Suit Pants
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I don’t think I’ve ever done this wittingly before — posting a suit in two different Workwear Reports. We featured a Theory suit jacket a couple of weeks ago, but at the time I didn’t realize that it was part of … Read More about Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Demetria 2 Flare Leg Good Wool Suit Pants

Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Knot Front Cotton Knit Empire Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This $58 dress from eShakti is really cute. I like the sash effect in the front — I think it’s a nice take on the corset trend that seems to be everywhere, but more wearable and easier to get a … Read More about Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Knot Front Cotton Knit Empire Dress
Coffee Break: Poween Snakeskin Embossed Ruffle Pump
These embellished snakeskin pumps from Isabel Marant look gorgeous.

They’re available for pre-order at Nordstrom for $595 in sizes 5–11. Poween … Read More about Coffee Break: Poween Snakeskin Embossed Ruffle Pump

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. A lot of readers have noted that they prefer a popover style blouse vs. a button-front blouse, which I think makes sense — it’s easier to iron and to care for, and there are fewer buttons to worry about. If … Read More about Thursday’s Workwear Report: The Perfect Wrinkle-Resistant Popover Shirt
