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.

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

This weekend — spurred by the beautiful weather and the fact that I haven’t been shopping for far too long — the hubs and I trekked to Woodbury Commons, a Chelsea Premium outlet mall about 50 miles north of NYC.

Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Pleated Voile Trim Top
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We swung by our local Ann Taylor Loft yesterday and loved this bright top. The fabric is similar to a t-shirt, so it’s comfortable, but the pleated detailing makes it just a bit interesting for work. It’s also available in … Read More about Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Pleated Voile Trim Top
