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.
We’re loving the shape of this classic short-sleeved cardigan. It’s the details that stand out — the shirring at the neck, the curve of the neckline, and the way the sleeves hit your elbows — perfect. We’d wear this on a brutally hot day to cover a sleeveless tank or dress. Was $50, now on sale at the Gap in a variety of colors, sizes, and prices. (The black is currently $44.)

06/12/2009 at 5:05 pmI bought an amazing Elle black cardigan last weekend at Kohl’s clearance sale for $10 – 3-quarter puff sleeves, understated front-ruching, very flattering and well-tailored. Kohl’s still has a great selection of Elle black cardigans at its site – although not the one I bought. I also scored several pairs of Elle dark wash, tailored jeans (perfect for the small civil rights firm where I work) and a Vera Wang jacket, all for $10 each.
