Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Boatneck Top
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Everybody loves a good popover top, and this one at J.Crew Factory looks really great.

Coffee Break: Carolyne 70mm Fabric and Snakeskin Halter Pump
This Manolo Blahnik pump looks perfect — in fact, I don’t know if a pump can get more perfect than this.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’m always a fan of a nylon tote that zips, because it’s lightweight, durable, and easy to keep clean.
