Thursday’s TPS Report: Banana Republic’s Long Pocket Cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Tory Burch’s Ardennes Wool Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
We’re loving this sophisticated sheath dress from Tory Burch, available for presale at Nordstrom’s. We love the shape — the slight flaring at the knees is sure to be flattering, and the folds at the neck give it a more unusual, lux look than your regular v-neck or scoop neck. It’s $395 at Nordstrom. Tory Burch ‘Ardennes’ Wool Dress
