For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning. In general, this feature is not about interview suits for women, which should be as classic and basic as you get — instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional.

Coffee Break: Rounded Horn Sunglasses
I normally try to avoid spending a ton of money on sunglasses, but these gorgeous, deep blue shades are calling my name. I love the white/gray/brown horn frames, which are hard to imagine not being flattering against almost all skintones. They’re $225, exclusively online at Anthropologie.

Coffee Break: Patterned Woven Large Pouch
Pouches are the unsung heroes of the bag world. Use them as clutches (or here, even as an iPad case), sure, but you can also use them as organizers if you’re the kind of person who likes huge tote bags (or, better yet, frequently changes her huge tote bags). Pouches can even just be a … Read More about Coffee Break: Patterned Woven Large Pouch
Coffee Break: Small Black Diamond Huggies
I’m a sucker for a pair of good diamond huggies, and I love the slightly unusual materials here — rose gold and black diamonds. They look comfortable (particularly for those times you don’t get a chance to take your earrings out before a long phone call), classically stylish, and subdued but noteworthy. They’re $660 at … Read More about Coffee Break: Small Black Diamond Huggies
Coffee Break: Tilda Scalloped Pumps
White pumps aren’t usually my thing, but I like the subtle snakeskin leather here, and the vintage vibe to the scalloped top line. They’re available around the web in a variety of colors and sizes, but ShopBop has the best price (the pictured heels are $150, down from $375), and Zappos has them in black … Read More about Coffee Break: Tilda Scalloped Pumps
Coffee Break: Haight Satchel
I was poking through the under $100 handbag selection on Nordstrom, looking for well-reviewed items for something else (see below), when I spied this gorgeous satchel — it looks like a great casual, fun briefcase for $65. I’d probably remove the crossbody strap (I almost always do!), but that’s me. The bag is 16″W x … Read More about Coffee Break: Haight Satchel
Coffee Break: Okala Pump
We’ve featured this shoe on the blog before, but at this point I think it’s attaining “classics” status — it’s now available in 10 colors, with 37 glowing reviews on Zappos (and more on Nordstrom). It’s $109-$130, although Amazon does have a few colors on sale in lucky sizes. Sam Edelman Okala (L-5)

Coffee Break: ‘Jet Set – Slim’ Saffiano Leather Wallet
The below content is about the 2014 Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale. There’s a ton of MICHAEL Michael Kors at the Nordstrom Half-Yearly sale, and for today’s coffee break I’m liking this little leather wallet in a happy, bright raspberry. It looks like it has plenty of room for cards and money, and numerous positive reviews. It … Read More about Coffee Break: ‘Jet Set – Slim’ Saffiano Leather Wallet
Coffee Break: Yliana Yepez Monte Carlo Saffiano Satchel
Yliana Yepez is a new brand to me, but this bag at Bloomingdale’s immediately caught my notice, and now looking through the designer’s website I’m in love. Apparently the designer lived all over the world with her army general father and academic mother, then had a successful modeling career (and a popular accessory brand in … Read More about Coffee Break: Yliana Yepez Monte Carlo Saffiano Satchel
Thursday’s TPS Report: Floral Jacquard Pencil Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This week’s guest posts are from Auntie M — welcome back! There is so much of me that wants to not like this skirt. Maybe the flowers are too precious or unprofessional, and the gold thread too gaudy, and what … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Floral Jacquard Pencil Skirt
