Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Ok, I’ll admit it: this doesn’t look so hot in the little picture. It’s because you can’t totally see the layered peplum, the nipped waist, and the masculine plaid. Especially for the price, I think this could be a really … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Plaid Peplum Jacket
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. OK. Slim … Read More about Suit of the Week: Reiss

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Embroidered crepe-twill dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. The Outnet has some new work-appropriate items on sale, including this gorgeous crepe-twill dress. I like the black silk trim and embroidery, which adds a feminine, but professional, touch. It looks super short on the 5’11” mannequin, but, well, she … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Embroidered crepe-twill dress
Coffee Break – Presia Tied MJ
I think this may be the first time I’ve seen a 4″ “comfort” shoe — yet, here it is. The description does not mention a platform, so I think this is really just a tall shoe — expert heel wearers only! But if you are one of those expert heel wearers, these look really nice … Read More about Coffee Break – Presia Tied MJ
How to Network at a Conference
How do you network at a conference where you know no one? Reader A wonders… I’ve been a lawyer for about one year, and I’m going to my first national conference in a couple of months. I’m the only person from my firm going, and I don’t anticipate knowing anyone there. Do you have any … Read More about How to Network at a Conference
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Bow Front Cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I love the “peacock” color that BOSS Black has out this season, but I couldn’t get 100% behind the peacock dress. So it made me very happy to find this silk/cashmere cardigan with an interesting belt feature. (I would tie … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Bow Front Cardigan
Coffee Break – Jitney Electronic Wristlet
I’ve talked before about how I like to keep a separate wallet for the office with all of my lunch-spot punch-cards, cash, and so forth — and this looks perfect because you can fit your phone or Blackberry inside as well. I like the bright, happy colors, the patent leather, and the positive reviews online. … Read More about Coffee Break – Jitney Electronic Wristlet

Continuing our series of the best places to shop in other continents (we’ve done Europe and Asia so far), I thought we’d talk about where to shop in Central and South America today. I’ve heard Buenos Aires described as the Paris of the South (and Lynn Yaeger certainly had a fun time there in this … Read More about The Best South America Stores for Professional Clothes
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Hope Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Ooh: love the metallic threads running through this tweedy Alice + Olivia blazer. I like the nubby way the threads stick out, and I like the gold tone buttons on the front. Lovely. It’s $495 at Bloomingdale’s. Alice + Olivia … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Hope Blazer
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. While photographing my own work jewelry collection this past week, I started thinking about some of my favorite pieces that I probably wouldn’t wear to work — and one of them is definitely the druzy ring that my husband got me for my birthday this year. It’s … Read More about Weekend Open Thread
