Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Whoa: Reformation is at Nordstrom! I was excited to see that the boho, inventive brand (which I largely think of as weekend gear, but we have featured at least one suit from them over the years) is now carried at Nordstrom because I love my free, easy … Read More about Weekend Open Thread: Reformation

Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Cropped Blazer
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. To me, this doesn’t really seem like a “cropped” blazer as it’s labeled, as much as a fitted/shrunken blazer. (Although it does look a little shorter in the back.) I like the darts and the very simple collar, and I … Read More about Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Cropped Blazer
Coffee Break: Sliced Tahitian Pearl Pendant Necklace
Tahitian pearls are on my bucket list, I think — and I love the simple style to this gorgeous “sliced” pearl pendant necklace from Samira 13, who has a lot of playful, fun takes on pearl jewelry. (Ooh, looove these hoop earrings, too.) With the necklace, I like the rose gold, the diamond halo, and … Read More about Coffee Break: Sliced Tahitian Pearl Pendant Necklace

Who’s Your Imaginary Celebrity BFF?
Here’s an important question I’ve wanted to discuss here for a while: who is your imaginary celebrity BFF? Do you enjoy him or her for their style sense, their wit, their activism? Do you look to them for imaginary guidance (what would J.Law wear to this event?) or do you just have a funny sense … Read More about Who’s Your Imaginary Celebrity BFF?
Thursday’s Workwear Report: Chloee Linen Top
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We seem to be having a very British-centric week, with picks from Boden and Whistles earlier on, and now L.K. Bennett. This white linen top is a really great way to elevate your look by adding a punch of sophistication … Read More about Thursday’s Workwear Report: Chloee Linen Top
Suit of the Week: Banana Republic Factory
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. We posted … Read More about Suit of the Week: Banana Republic Factory
Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Cassandra Sweater
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This wool crewneck sweater, which is a bestseller at Boden, is definitely on the casual side — for a casual office or a casual day at a conservative office. I love the stripes on the sleeves and down the middle … Read More about Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Cassandra Sweater

Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Slim Knit Blazer
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This slim knit blazer from the British brand Whistles has been on my radar for a while, and I think it looks really great — I like it the black and the navy. It very much reminds me of a … Read More about Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Slim Knit Blazer
Workwear Hall of Fame: Teddie Tote
I’ve mentioned before that the GiGi New York cobalt clutch I was gifted at a blogging conference is one of my favorite clutches — the color is vibrant and the embossed leather is high quality, and sturdy but interesting; it’s held up well for the three years I’ve had it (although I should note I … Read More about Workwear Hall of Fame: Teddie Tote
