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 have a thing for yellow raincoats, we'll admit it. It's nasty and gray and pouring outside, and there you are in your happy yellow raincoat, dry and cheerful.

This yellow jacket from Boden is perfect for the job — not only is it $50, but we love the blue polka-dot lining. If you don't share our affection for yellow jackets, however (whaaaaaat?) then rest assured: the cuteness comes in beige (with red polka-dotted lining) and navy (with yellow polka-dotted lining).

Psst: these are our latest favorite lightweight coats and rainjackets:
