For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning.

We nearly chose this … Read More about Suit of the Week
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Today we are liking this jersey wrap dress from JB by Julie Brown. (Is it Downtown Julie Brown? We will have to Google when we have a moment and report back.) In any event, we like the small, ornate print … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: ‘Rica’ sleeveless wrap dress
I received this necklace as a gift last Christmas from my mother-in-law, and it has quickly become a staple in my wardrobe — both for when I’m wearing all black, as well as when I’m wearing a color that I want a bit of contrast with (such as the coral AK Anne Klein jacket I’m … Read More about Coffee Break: Glass Beads Necklace
Reader E sent us this interesting query… Increasingly, I see ladies in all situations and events wearing pink or lip-colored lipstick. Seems like the days of Revlon’s Volcanic Red or Love That Red are now only in the print magazines. Or perhaps only when the lady is actually wearing red clothing (oh, that’s really dated, … Read More about Red, Pink, Nude — What’s Your Power Lip?
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This strikes us as a lovely dress — in a bold color. We’d probably mute this for everyday office wear — a tweedy khaki-colored blazer, or a cable-knit gray sweater — we think we’d want to add texture as well … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: New Vogue Dress
We got an e-mail from reader C, raving about this “Beacon” shoe: The heel is higher than it looks and oh-so-so-comfortable. I bought these to be able to commute in dress pants and heels (my comfy commuting flats only work with skirts b/c all my trousers are tailored to heel-length). From the subway stop, I … Read More about Coffee Break: Naturalizer – Beacon
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Monday! Today, we are digging this Marc by Marc Jacobs jacket. The double-buttoned trench is a classic look, but this strikes us as a colorful, fresh take on it. We particularly love the way the lines of the windowpane … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Windowpane Long Coat
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Our weekend recommendation: For some reason, we’re digging the idea of an oversized, colorful watch — this TKO one would be perfect to wear to brunch with, perhaps, a military green shirtdress or the like. We’d wear it loose on our wrist, a bit like a bracelet. … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Friday! Today we’re liking this top from Merona® Women’s Fit Solutions, which has a built-in Spandex “slimming layer.” It looks like a great basic for the summer.

This strikes us as a great, very fresh-looking canvas bag from Kate Spade — the floral design is beautiful, and the open top would allow you to shove a folder or notepad or two in there. It’s $295 at Zappos.com. Kate Spade – Neptune Avenue Stevie (Bluebell) (L-2)
Someone asked us this week whether we were planning on writing about Mother’s Day. Our initial thought was, um, no — because hey, while we all have them (and some of us are them), what is there of particular concern to professional women and overachieving chicks to discuss? Then we started thinking — behind so … Read More about Open Thread – Ode to Moms
