Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I came across these shoes while randomly trolling around Zappos, and they totally make me drool. First, Ferragamo is always a brand that is mentioned when we talk about comfortable heels, but the brand is sometimes lacking in a bit of — oomph, perhaps. These sandals pack … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Pencil Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I am loving the black and white patterns that are everywhere this season. This pencil skirt from MICHAEL Michael Kors is great — I particularly like the way it’s a ponte knit but looks almost like a tweed from far … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Pencil Skirt
Coffee Break – Pacific Avenue Slouchy Tote
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m not usually a “Juicy” girl, but I really like the look of this slouchy tote. Love the occasional quilting, as well as the slightly shimmery look to the leather (which is called “gold,” not “beige” or the like). (StyleBop … Read More about Coffee Break – Pacific Avenue Slouchy Tote
Interviewing in Changed Circumstances
Reader A has a question about truth in advertising… and how to tell a prospective employer that you’ve been laid off. I’m a 2010 law grad with an interview at a biglaw firm in the next couple of days. For the last 6 months, I’ve been working at small law firm, and I was laid … Read More about Interviewing in Changed Circumstances
Thursday’s TPS Report: Pleione Print Dolman Sleeve Top
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This top isn’t usually my style, but I’m intrigued: reader Z sent this in, noting that she loved this blouse because it was “springy light,, flattering (note band at bottom), and quite affordable.” Sure enough, the two reviews on the … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Pleione Print Dolman Sleeve Top
Suit of the Week: White House | Black Market
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. Reader N … Read More about Suit of the Week: White House | Black Market
The Type A Guide to Moving (Our Best Moving Tips!)
I’ve moved far too many times, particularly in my early 20s when I was interning a lot. (My record is 8 different addresses between April 1997 and April 1999, not even counting 2-week “pitstops” at my parents’ house to unpack everything I needed while interning and repack everything I needed for college.) Things have settled … Read More about The Type A Guide to Moving (Our Best Moving Tips!)
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Seamed and Tucked Twofer Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I really like the look of this “seamed and tucked twofer dress” from Max and Cleo. The scoop neck, the puff sleeves, the simple pencil skirt: all look cute but flattering and professional. I might wear it with an opera-length … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Seamed and Tucked Twofer Dress
Coffee Break – Feel the Rhythm Pumps
I really like the look of these Poetic Licence heels, high as they may be (4″ with a 3/4″ platform). I like the closed heel, as well as the fun colors — pink is pictured, but there’s a lovely blue/fuchsia combo, as well as a black/emerald green combo and a white/taupe combo. Zappos has many … Read More about Coffee Break – Feel the Rhythm Pumps

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Chloe Printed Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Oooh: I really like this dress. Love the black and white dot print, which, depending on how far away you are, can also look a bit like a snake print or something more abstract. The banded waist with piping is … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Chloe Printed Dress
