Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We begin the week in splurge mode, with our most expensive suggestions, and wind our way to Friday, where a less expensive item of clothing might be just what you need to make it to the weekend. Banana Republic’s Cotton Silk Pleated BlouseWe're loving this cotton and silk blouse from Banana Republic — we love it in all the colors it comes in (white, yellow and green), but particularly the green. It's fresh and springy, but not dusty at all like pastels can be sometimes. We'd wear it with navy trousers, dark gray, or even black (so long as there was another major color in the mix so you don't end up looking like a mint cookie). Each color of the blouse is a different sale price; the green is now $29.99 (was $59). (If you end up buying more than $100, you can take 25% off your entire purchase, which would bring the price down to $22.50 — use code SUMMER.) Cotton/silk pleated blouse – Sea green

  1. I went into BR a few weeks ago fully intending to buy this blouse in yellow. However the sleeves are too puffy (not like in the photo) and the fabric too transparent to wear by itself. I really wanted to like it, but I passed. Maybe under a summer blazer.

  2. I have a huge favor to ask of you wise people. When you post things in colors that are not standard (standard to me is white, black, gray, navy blue), can you indicate what sort of coloring it takes to carry this off? It will help me to escape from my drab, dull, wardrobe…

  3. LPC – I suggest investing in the book Color Me Beautiful. It is older and old-fashioned in that it doesn’t adequately differentiate between darker skin tones, but it nonetheless is a good start for figuring out what family of colors will look best on you and it has handy pull out color swatches for your color family that you can take with you when shopping.
