Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Lace Collar 3/4 Sleeve Sweater
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m going to be honest: I hate the “collar” look that’s going on right now. They so often look “little girl” or just plain “fug.” (I particularly hate the “add a collar” trend — I would almost always prefer a … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Lace Collar 3/4 Sleeve Sweater
Coffee Break – Zip Around Portfolio
Reader M wrote in to recommend this leather portfolio at Barney’s, noting: “Alas I don’t have it so I can’t vouch personally (so expensive!), but I’m pretty sure I would DIE of happiness if somebody gifted me this gorgeous, gorgeous zip-around leather portfolio.
