Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Loving this gorgeous Smythe blazer, in part because it combines two things I don’t normally think of as going together: linen and leather elbow patches. Love the sharp shoulders with a bit of pouf, the curved hem with European vents … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Pouf Sleeve Equestrian Jacket with Patch

Coffee Break – Elinor Tote
Love the look of this tote bag from Hobo International. The shiny vintage leather is nice, and the big ball snaps on the “coin purse” on the front of the bag are interesting but not distracting. Love that there’s a print lining to the bag and that it has enough pockets to make it useful; … Read More about Coffee Break – Elinor Tote

It’s easy to find a cheap pair of pantyhose on the fly, for those situations where it’s an hour before the big meeting and you realize you’ve got a run. But quality hosiery usually requires a trip to a department store, which just may not be in the cards when you’re slammed with work — … Read More about Sponsored Post: A Curated Pantyhose Collection, from Hoseanna

I thought I’d try out a new series today. Like any good little Type A-er, I keep a list of lessons I’ve learned; I started it sometime early in college. Some of them are, well, obvious (“#3: Don’t take life so seriously.”), but others were things that I learned the hard way. Life lesson # … Read More about Life Lesson #21
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Open-Front Cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I really like the way this cardigan straddles the line between a sweater and a jacket.

Reader E has a question that should take us into an interesting discussion of how low the bar can go in terms of professional dressing if circumstances require it… I broke my leg — in 11 places– over the weekend. I have been on bed rest for almost a week, and probably have another week … Read More about Dressing Professionally with a Cast
