Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Bergdorf Goodman has a great selection of jackets right now, including this fun “shocking pink” crepe one from Nanette Lepore.

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’ve been on the fence about this dress for weeks, thinking it was a sweater dress — and now that it’s hit the deepest discount I’ve seen it at yet I notice from the 5-star review that it is, in … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Geometric Print Long Sleeve Dress
Coffee Break: Rem Emberme Pumps
These t-strap pumps won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but I think they’re great, especially for “comfort shoes.” I like the vintage vibe, the teeny tiny peep toe and the strappy vamp. They’re actually a really low height if you factor in the 3/4″ platform, which brings the 2.5″ heel height down by a lot. … Read More about Coffee Break: Rem Emberme Pumps

Reader L has a great question about how to show her appreciation for a new secretary who’s doing a great job: I’m a young associate at a new firm and a few times recently, my secretary has helped me put together and file huge motions.

Coffee Break: Ankle Strap Mini Wedge
Mini wedges have been in for a few years, and ankle straps are the “must have” for spring — and I don’t think you’ll find as nice a mixture of them both as you will with this ankle strap mini wedges from Madewell. I particularly like that the ankle strap is removable, and that it … Read More about Coffee Break: Ankle Strap Mini Wedge
‘Geek Chic’ Glasses and the Office
Can you wear hipster/geek chic eyeglasses to the office — especially if you’re young? I’m hoping for your input on a quandary I’m having. I’m starting my first real job this summer so trying to build an adult wardrobe now. I am nearsighted and strongly prefer glasses to contacts for everyday wear. I love my … Read More about ‘Geek Chic’ Glasses and the Office
