Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We are seeing a so many ruffled blouses this season! We actually like JCrew’s take on it — the ruffles are high enough that it’s a collar effect and keeps the focus on your face, without adding any volume to … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Printed kelsey ruffle top
Beauty Wednesday: Insolia Inserts
(I know: this doesn’t quite qualify as a “beauty” item, but in my mind it makes sense to talk about it here…) I’ve been a fan of the cushion-y, almost gel-like inserts that you put under the ball of your foot for years now — so I was intrigued when I was sent free samples of the … Read More about Beauty Wednesday: Insolia Inserts
Suit of the Week
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. It seems like we … Read More about Suit of the Week
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Printed Silk Mesh Scoopneck Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We like this take on the black dress for the office — the geometric patterns seem interesting and cool without being too wild, and the neckline, empire waist, and ladylike length are all very flattering. We’d wear it with a … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Printed Silk Mesh Scoopneck Dress
What Not to Wear, Chicago Bar Style
We’re getting a lot of questions from readers about this article at Above the Law. For example, from one reader: I am a 2L at law school and about to start as a summer associate at a law firm in Washington, D.C. There was an article on Above the Law about an event in Chicago … Read More about What Not to Wear, Chicago Bar Style
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Whip It Silk Top
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Reader P writes in to recommend this silk top from Nanette Lepore, which, she notes, “works in so many ways and perfect on an hour-glass figure.” We like it also (particularly the combo of silk and stud detailing), but the … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Whip It Silk Top
Coffee Break: Gorjana Croix Ring
A reader tipped us off to the lovely Gorjana line a while ago, and for today’s coffee break we are loving this simple ring. It’s delicate and interesting, yet won’t get snagged on clothing. We also like that it doesn’t have the recognizability of the Elsa Peretta line from Tiffany’s — it’s just a streamlined, … Read More about Coffee Break: Gorjana Croix Ring
Overachieving Women Who Drink Too Much
We’ve been curious about the story on Gothamist, “Overachieving Women Will Drink You Under the Table,” in part because so many of you “liked” the story once we posted it to Facebook (and amazingly, not one of the six is one of our drinking buddies!) Looking more closely at the reports from the Telegraph, the … Read More about Overachieving Women Who Drink Too Much
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Origami Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Monday! For today’s splurge, we’re liking this sophisticated gray blazer from Michael Kors, with some really interesting detailing on the sleeves. We like a short-sleeve jacket for days where it’s ridiculously hot but you still need to cover your … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Origami Jacket
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Pictured: Our weekend recommendation is this amazing sandal from Franco Sarto. No, the sandal does not look like a lot in the picture — but we couldn’t take our eyes off it at Nordstrom the other day. We love the very of-the-moment look, as well as the … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Coffee Break: Luciana Sling
We forget where we saw these featured, but we love the look. Closed toe, mild platform (we think totally acceptable for the office), and interesting colors including slate gray (pictured), denim blue, or sesame. The fact that it’s from a brand that’s known for comfort doesn’t hurt in the least. It’s $109 at Zappos in … Read More about Coffee Break: Luciana Sling
