Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This sheath dress looks really great and comes in plus sizes as well as straight and petite sizes. I love the asymmetrical neckline, which is really flattering but still wearable with a bra. The regular-size version actually has a longer, … Read More about Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Asymmetrical Neck Sheath Dress

Coffee Break: Oval Pink Amethyst Stud Earrings
I’m always a sucker for wrapped jewelry — I think it’s delicate but sophisticated and has a sort of organic look to it. Even though I’m not a huge fan of stud earrings, I do like these, which are from a brand called Indulgems. I like the little purple amethyst gem, and these are lovely overall. They … Read More about Coffee Break: Oval Pink Amethyst Stud Earrings

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This sweater skirt from Club Monaco looks really great. I love that it’s merino wool — it’s got a nice structure to it and a nice stretch, so it’s going to fit very well and will give you some texture … Read More about Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Orsalla Sweater Skirt
Coffee Break: 4-Piece Packing Cube Set
I picked up a set of these on Prime Day and am pleased with them, particularly for between $17–$25. These are four of the biggest sizes of packing cubes; they’re soft-sided and squooshable, and the mesh makes it very easy to see what’s in them. I haven’t been a fan of packing cubes before, but … Read More about Coffee Break: 4-Piece Packing Cube Set
How Long Do You Spend On Your Hair for Work?
Here’s a question I don’t think we’ve talked about before: How long do you spend on your hair for work? Did you choose your cut in order to spend less time on your hair? Do you prefer to spend a lot of time in one chunk (such as going to get a blowout once a … Read More about How Long Do You Spend On Your Hair for Work?

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I love the fabric-covered buttons and the shoulders on this cropped tweed jacket from Club Monaco.

Coffee Break: GG Marmont Matelassé Leather Shoulder Bag
This gorgeous leather bag from Gucci looks kind of perfect. I love the sort of quilted leather, the color options (like red and “porcelain rose”), and the sueded lining. I do wish the top of it was closeable — it’s just open without even a magnetic closure. (Granted, the woman who owns this is probably … Read More about Coffee Break: GG Marmont Matelassé Leather Shoulder Bag
