Reader A sent in these shoes — and they look to be great purple pumps. I like the buckle detail on the front, as well as the stripey detailing on the toe and heel. They’re available in black and purple for $39.97 (buy 1, get 1 50% off!) at Easy Spirit (available in sizes 6-12, … Read More about Coffee Break: Easy Spirit Pumps
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Ruffled Trench Coat
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I always feel like outerwear is a good place to invest because a) you can wear it every day during the season, and b) if you invest well, you’ll have it for years. Today I’m liking this slightly different take … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Ruffled Trench Coat
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I’m liking this “Beam of Light” dress from ModCloth for weekend/evening wear. I would wear it now in the winter (out to a nice dinner with the hubs, perhaps) with a black boyfriend cardigan and colorful, jewel-toned tights. In the summer (for an evening cocktail party?), I’d … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Coffee Break: Skinny polka-dot silk belt
This belt is the current object of my obsession. Love, love love the white polka-dots edged in green, the navy belt, the pink buckle — fabulous. Yes, it’s probably the kind of thing you’ll see knocked off at Forever21 for about $9 (which is a shame, I think), but for the moment, this high-end, glorious … Read More about Coffee Break: Skinny polka-dot silk belt

Suit of the Week: Georgie
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, 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. Yes, the model … Read More about Suit of the Week: Georgie
Sponsored Post: Gemstone Jewelry from Gemvara
This post is sponsored by Gemvara, but written by Kat Griffin. Jewelry plays a huge part in most women’s working wardrobes — pieces can add color, personality, and sometimes even a dose of class. I tend to believe that jewelry should come in two varieties for the office — a) the best gemstones and the … Read More about Sponsored Post: Gemstone Jewelry from Gemvara
Tales from the Wallet: When to Save, When to Pay Down Debt
This started out as a post about how to pay off debt, and I realized as writing it that the huge question is thus: When should you pay off debt? So let’s talk about it. As I’ve mentioned before, I generally led a charmed life (as far as debt is concerned) in my 20s — … Read More about Tales from the Wallet: When to Save, When to Pay Down Debt

Coffee Break: Lisbon Oxfords
In our conversation yesterday about basic black pumps, readers reminded me of a very comfortable brand that I forget sometimes — Me Too. True enough, this oxford pump has glowing customer reviews on comfort (yes, despite the height) and walkability. As I’ve said before, I think this style can be one of the easiest to … Read More about Coffee Break: Lisbon Oxfords
