Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We’re picturing this Joseph dress buttoned all the way up, but you can also unbutton the top button for more of an army-green dress-coat kind of look. I like the details — the corded buttons, the thickness of the wool, … Read More about Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Gillis Wool-Twill Midi Dress

Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here.

Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Tie Front Cotton Jersey Knit Top
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I keep coming back to this interesting top at eShakti — like everything else on the site, it’s completely customizable, and I like the darts and the empire waist.

We were talking recently in the Corporette Slack channel about people we knew who were still on the family cell phone plan as an adult — and considering we’ve seen so many news stories about different levels of this kind of co-dependence, from sharing passwords with family members to getting help with your rent, we … Read More about Co-Dependent or Budget Savvy: Family Cell Phone Plans, Shared Passwords, Help with the Rent, and Definitions of Adulting
Thursday’s Workwear Report: Classic Blazer
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

I really … Read More about Suit of the Week: Hobbs London

These gorgeous heels from Boden come in a number of different colors and textures — plush burgunday as pictured, solid suede options in black, navy, and rose, and two really fun animal print options on “animal print hair on cowhide.” I love the vintage feel to that super high heel cup, as well as the … Read More about Coffee Break: Carrie High Heel Pumps
Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Mini Check Blazer
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
