Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Halogen Print Surplice Tee
This post may contain affiliate links and Corporette® may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
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 like this colorful top from Nordstrom's Halogen line. The vertical stripes are flattering, and the purple is subdued but youthful. We'd wear it with gray slacks and a black cardigan or cropped jacket. It's $48 at Nordstrom.com. Halogen Print Surplice Tee

Can’t decide if this looks more like a “Mom” shirt or something my 15-year-old niece would wear
Anon– I think it is definitely most like a maternity shirt. Seriously, basically every maternity work-appropriate shirt has this shape and a similar pattern.
Ooooh, I think not. It screams “I’m 23 years old and don’t know yet that while my club clothes can sparkle and flash, my work clothes should not.”
That should not be a $48 shirt. It really has a lot of things NOT going for it.
And enough with the purple obsession. Enough!
Man, what’s with the fug this week!?
I like the shirt. I’d wear it around the pool, out to dinner or at a weekend outing. I wouldn’t wear it to work. But it is still cute.
No judgment on the shirt, but I like when Bargain Fridays feature things that are at a $20-30 (or even less!!) price point. Maybe I’m just cheap, but I don’t consider a $50 rayon shirt a bargain.
Yuck, definite mom shirt or something I could find for $12 at Ross/Marshall’s. I’m not a fan of the Halogen line — the shirts look ok on the rack but they end up looking kind of cheap when you wear them.
I agree with Jay, I love the fact that Fridays are about bargains. In fact, I would love to see the site post more links to affordable clothing as supposed to the “splurge” pieces that very few can afford to buy in this economy.
Complaints aside, I love this site! :)
You know, while I love reading about the deals out there, it’s kind of nice to see the higher-quality (albeit higher-priced) because it makes me slow down and only buy nicer pieces when it’s time for me to shop. Corporette has made me even more picky, but in a good way. So thank you!!
