Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I have been craving a blue trench coat ever since I saw a number of them featured in Real Simple. I’m liking this lovely one from Via Spiga, part of Bloomingdale’s 30% off sale — it was $230, now $184 (available in black and khaki as well … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Ruffle-Trim Open-Front Cardigans
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We’ve liked a lot of the ruffle cardigans we’ve seen this season, but have been flummoxed by the asymmetrical or uneven ruffle effect we’ve seen on a lot of them — some only have details on one side of the … Read More about Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Ruffle-Trim Open-Front Cardigans
Coffee Break: Genevieve Small Triangle Tote
Endless has a lot of sales on Cole Haan handbags today, for some reason, including this lovely brown bag. We like the details (the feet, the technology pockets), as well as the general look of the bag. We can’t help but think it would look great with the white suit we featured on Wednesday… The … Read More about Coffee Break: Genevieve Small Triangle Tote

Thursday’s TPS Report: Silk Mini-Dot Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Today we’re liking this silk blouse from White House|Black Market. We like how it’s on-trend with the ruffles down the front, but it strikes us more wearable than a lot of the blouses we’ve seen out there this season. We … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Silk Mini-Dot Blouse
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. We’re liking this white … Read More about Suit of the Week

Wednesday’s TPS Report: ‘Riley’ Stretch Wool Pants
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. These gray trousers strike us as a great basic for fall, winter and spring — and they’re 50% off and available in almost every size.

Tuesday’s TPS Report: ‘Jereni’ Silk Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We’re liking this interesting Tory Burch dress, recently reduced at Bloomingdale’s. We’d wear it with neutral shoes and, perhaps, white or silver accessories for springtime. Was $395, now $276 (size medium only); use code FFMARCH at checkout for another 20% … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: ‘Jereni’ Silk Dress
Coffee Break: Foster Necklace
We’re loving this cool pendant necklace from Amy DiGregorio — the bone ring (1″ in diameter) is hip and interesting, but could be right at home with a buttoned blouse. It would stand out the most against dark skin, and be a statement piece — we also like it with pale skin, though, because it … Read More about Coffee Break: Foster Necklace
