Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Tees aren’t always appropriate for the office, but something about this $15 paisley tee looks lux to me. I think it would be great peeking out beneath a cardigan or blazer, or on its own with a spring scarf (perhaps … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Printed Slub-Knit Tops
Coffee Break: Embossed Lizzie Spotless Hobo
This “vivid lizard-embossed” tote by Marc by Marc Jacobs has me drooling — love the color, the size, the shape, the organization, the multiple carry options, etc. Gorgeous. It’s 30% off at ShopBop (was $328, now $230) and Revolve Clothing; Nordstrom also has the cross-body style of the same purple print marked down to $152. … Read More about Coffee Break: Embossed Lizzie Spotless Hobo
How to Do the Work You’re Not Ready For
A reader wondered how to do the work that felt way over her head.
Thursday’s TPS Report: Straight Leg Ponte Knit Pants
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m not big on shorter pants for the office, but these highly-reviewed pants (77 mostly positive reviews) look great for what they are — comfortable, flattering, and affordable. I also like that they come in a wide range of sizes … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Straight Leg Ponte Knit Pants
Suit of the Week: Reiss
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 don’t … Read More about Suit of the Week: Reiss

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Monica Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Wednesday! I like this sleek blazer from Club Monaco. The frayed edges, the zippers, the uneven pocket distribution — all very chic. I like the minimalist look, but I can’t help that notice that one of those shoulders would … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Monica Jacket
Coffee Break: Cheyenne Pump
These cute strappy pumps first caught my eye over at Shopbop, where they’re full price at $235. They’re a bit high (3.75″) but I can see them being great for the right woman (and the appropriately subdued outfit, since they are a bit sexy). They’re on sale at a bunch of places in limited sizes … Read More about Coffee Break: Cheyenne Pump

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Milo Waisted Top
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I am loving this blouse from Tibi. Those cool inside out darts… the unexpected sleeve length… the flared sides… very cool. I even like the bubblegum pink. It’s $295 at ShopBop. Tibi Milo Waisted Top Seen a great piece you’d … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Milo Waisted Top
Coffee Break: Bear Studs
I like these cheeky little bear stud earrings from Bing Bang. The design notes on Bauble Bar state that the bear stands for protection, power, freedom, and courage — but there’s something about the arrows that reminds me of stock market symbols. I like them in rose gold, but they’re also available in silver. They’re … Read More about Coffee Break: Bear Studs
Which Trends Are You Totally Sick Of?
2019 Update: Check out our latest discussion on the 2019 fashion trends we hate.
