Wednesday’s TPS Report: New Ribbon Knit Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I like this laid back knit dress from French Connection, on sale at Zappos. The stripes are on trend this season, but the tri-color effect seems flattering, new, and interesting. The dress was $188, but is today marked to $103 … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: New Ribbon Knit Dress
Coffee Break – Jerry Belt
This looks like an amazing belt: it’s leather, with super-saturated colors, and it’s intended to be long enough to wear buckled normally or tied up in a decorative knot. I honestly can’t decide which color I like best, but I’m posting the neon orange to show you the knot. It’s available in both neon colors … Read More about Coffee Break – Jerry Belt
How to Edge Up a Conservative Look
How can you “edge up” a conservative look (and still look professional)? Reader T wonders… I’m in a creative field (aspiring commercial director) and recently came out of a personal branding seminar where I was given the suggestion to “edge up” my look, which I think is actually a good idea. I dress pretty polished … Read More about How to Edge Up a Conservative Look
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Alimo C. Aglow Tweed
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m not sure how I feel about the matching skirt and dress for this suit jacket (both of which would look more appropriate on a 9 year old, if anyone) — but this jacket is fabulous. I always love a … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Alimo C. Aglow Tweed
Coffee Break – Wee Initial Ring
I love tiny initial rings. For years I’ve worn a small gold signet ring with a “K” on it — a gift for my first communion, if I recall correctly — as a pinky ring. After I got married I was looking for a small ring with either a “V” (my maiden name is Vogele) … Read More about Coffee Break – Wee Initial Ring
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Jo No Fui Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m not overly familiar with the designer Jo No Fui, but damn this is a gorgeous blazer. The draping in the front and the pleating in the back is very reminiscent of the 1940s, bt the leather almost gives a … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Jo No Fui Blazer

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Scoopneck Ponte Dress with Pleats
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Target is having its “Top-Rated Sale,” and there are a ton of highly-rated work-appropriate dresses in there. I’m sure I’ve blogged about this dress before, but it’s among the sale items so I thought I’d reblog: love the deep colors … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Scoopneck Ponte Dress with Pleats
Coffee Break – Nautical Nylon Tote
Bergdorf Goodman’s “big sale” is on, with savings up to 40% off. For today’s Coffee Break, I’m liking nautical tote from Milly (available in both red and black). At 11.5″ high by 14″ wide, it’s big enough for even legal-sized papers — but the bright, happy color and lightweight nylon would be perfect either at … Read More about Coffee Break – Nautical Nylon Tote
