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.

Weekend Wednesday: What Are Your Weekend Sneakers — and Why?
For today’s Weekend Wednesday, let’s talk about sneakers…specifically, which sneakers do you wear, and why? Obviously sneakers are not appropriate at most offices unless you’ve got a very casual office. But almost everyone needs a pair of sneakers for the weekend (whether you’re canvassing for office, hitting an outlet mall, or just having brunch). And I’m … Read More about Weekend Wednesday: What Are Your Weekend Sneakers — and Why?
Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Nell Ponte Blazer
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This ponte blazer at Boden caught my eye because it’s such a happy pink, and it looks like a great blazer.

Coffee Break: Samantha Half D’Orsay Flat
This pointed toe, half d’Orsay flat is pretty basic — and sometimes that’s exactly what you want. It does come in a zillion colors (and sizes, and widths — and Amazon has even more in sale colors/sizes for as low as $22), but something about the black leather/suede duo is speaking to me today. They’re … Read More about Coffee Break: Samantha Half D’Orsay Flat

Tuesday’s Workwear Report: The Dani Top
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This Dani top from MM.LaFleur has been on my radar for a while, but it keeps selling out. Lo and behold, all four colors (deep indigo, deep plum, pomegranate, and viridian) are available right now in sizes XS–XL. It looks … Read More about Tuesday’s Workwear Report: The Dani Top
Coffee Break: Bezel Station Necklace
OK: I have three thoughts with this cute $58 necklace. (I’m sick with strep (joy) so thoughts are a bit more discombobulated than usual.) First: You guys have sung the praises of Nadri for affordable fake diamonds for years and I only recently bought some earrings (no longer available because they were on sale) and … Read More about Coffee Break: Bezel Station Necklace
What Are Your Favorite Stores for Winter Coats?
What are your favorite stores for winter coats? Where would you go if you were looking for an AFFORDABLE BUT DEPENDABLY WARM COAT — for a STATEMENT COAT — or an INVESTMENT COAT?
Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Wool Peplum Cardigan
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This peplum cardigan looks kind of amazing to me — and it’s definitely a statement piece.

Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Crossover Front Knit Sweater
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Stripes are often thought of as a classic, but I’m not a fan of the body-widening effect of horizontal stripes. So I really like this vertically striped sweater (which also comes in two solid colors, as well as a green/blue … Read More about Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Crossover Front Knit Sweater
