Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Le Train Bleu has a bunch of dresses on sale for just around $100 — including this great “Caroline” dress.

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.

Reader S has a business etiquette question about eating during business meetings… I have an business etiquette question. I have low blood sugar and have to eat every couple of hours.

Introducing the Corporette Guide to Comfortable Heels
I’ve been thinking for a while about expanding the site to include shopping guides on those dead-simple basics that every woman needs and buys (and has definite opinions about) but, to be honest, aren’t that much fun to blog about.

Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Piperlime has one of the best collections of “blush”-colored shoes that I’ve seen in a while (although it is a bit heavy on the shooties — really, who wears blush shooties?).
