Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Pleat Hem Shift Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

I like the kicky little pleat … Read More about Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Pleat Hem Shift Dress
Coffee Break: Emilia Pump
I’m always a fan of witty, colorful pumps like this — they can really make an outfit entirely by themselves. I love the low heel and classic almond toe shape — and note that if the pink/brown/black color scheme isn’t for you, the pump also comes in a light beige and a black. The shoe … Read More about Coffee Break: Emilia Pump

Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Paneled Georgette Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This Prada dress is absolutely gorgeous. It’s super feminine, and the georgette makes it a little bit flouncy. I love the tailoring, including the knife pleats and the fluid lines of the dress. You could wear this to work and … Read More about Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Paneled Georgette Dress
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. This nightgown from Amazon brand Selene would be exactly what I would have loved to sleep in when I wasn’t dating anyone and just wanted something comfortable and machine washable, a little sexy but not overly sexy and boudoir-feeling.

I like the longer sleeves with the cuffs, and the little details like the button at the back. When I took a look … Read More about Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Stripe Dolman Blouse
