Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I always like to get a few nice, on-trend blouses in white and black for the summer — they’re the easiest thing to mix into your wardrobe, and they instantly update any pieces from previous years. I think this white, … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Cap Sleeve Peplum Blouse
Suit of the Week: Alexandre Plokhov
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. I think … Read More about Suit of the Week: Alexandre Plokhov
Work-Appropriate Braids
Yes, yes, the braids trend has been around for-ever now… and I’ve been meaning to write a post forever! It shows no sign of stopping, I think in large part because braided looks are easy and fun hair styles that can be adapted for fancy looks (weddings, galas) to every day looks (like work) — … Read More about Work-Appropriate Braids
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Snake-Print Silk Crepe De Chine Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. The Outnet has a ton of clothes with “digital prints” right now, including this fun snake-print silk blouse by Nieves Lavi. I’m really not a fan of the boxy blouse, but if you are, this strikes me as a really … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Snake-Print Silk Crepe De Chine Blouse
Coffee Break: Graham Leather Wrap Bracelet
I normally don’t like bracelets for the office — they tend to clank against things while you’re typing or writing, and even just walking down the hallway with multiple bracelets on can be a major distraction for your coworkers. That said, those problems don’t really exist with the leather wrap trend, and I must say … Read More about Coffee Break: Graham Leather Wrap Bracelet
Should You Visit Coworkers in the Hospital?
Should you visit coworkers in the hospital? Reader E wonders… I’m a second year associate at a very small law firm (there are, essentially, five full time lawyers), and have worked very closely with one particular partner since I started with the firm. She found out a few weeks ago that she needs major abdominal … Read More about Should You Visit Coworkers in the Hospital?
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Argyle Gauze Cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I really like the “mismatched” twinsets J.Crew is showing this season — they seem modern yet traditional all at once. And it doesn’t hurt that they’re having a sale today — 20% off all sweaters, prices as marked. This gauzey … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Argyle Gauze Cardigan
Coffee Break: Venere Wedge Pump
I like the look of these wedge pumps from Geox, which are marked down at a variety of places. They look like your classic, simple wedge, and I think that the suede (once waterproofed) would make this a great shoe for spring and early fall. The taupe ones (pictured) are $74-$150 at Amazon or Zappos, … Read More about Coffee Break: Venere Wedge Pump

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Elowen Sheath Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Yes, yes: everyone tells us that emerald is the color of the season. I get it. I like it, I guess. And yet, for some reason, I feel like I’m more drawn to olive things right now. This “cactus” colored … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Elowen Sheath Dress
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Hooray for the weekend! Here in New York the cold weather persists, but at least some bright colors may make it feel more springlike… so I love this cashmere raglan sweater from J.Crew. I particularly love the “lemon mint” (pictured), with the neon band at the top … Read More about Weekend Open Thread
