Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Kenneth Cole New York Ruched 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.
Maybe it's cheesy, but when we interview, we love wearing French blue beneath a black suit. It's our feminine take on a man's shirt — not as feminine as pink or some other pastel, not as stark as white. This top is a great one for that purpose: the ruching is flattering without being distracting, and the neckline is nice and high. The price is right, too — it's $39 at Nordstrom.com.

This looks good on the model, but unless you’re extremely thin, most women will look pregnant in a top like this. I HATE the shirts that have a line right underneath the bust. I love your site, just not this top. :)
I have several of these ruched T-shirts from Banana Republic and Ann Taylor Loft in deep apricot colors and love them. Thanks for the idea of pairing French Blue with a black suit.
It’s a riff on a power cliche. Love it. Any time we can include cultural irony without ruffling feathers is a plus in my columns….
For A and B cups only!
Azure is so right!!! I like the French blue and black combination, but I’ve tried on this top and it just doesn’t work on my, um, curves.
All those gathers make the bust look bigger, so if that’s what you’re looking for . . .
