With summer/AC weather coming up, now is a fantastic time to talk about how much it STINKS when you’re stuck in a freezing office all day!
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Shorts with Split and Slant Pockets
You know what I hate? Buying formal shorts and then finding that they’re too tight in the leg.
Coffee Break: Martha Medium Satchel Bag
I’ve always been a big fan of Furla bags, and this red croc-embossed leather satchel looks like a gorgeous, work-appropriate tote. At 10″x13″x4″ it could certainly be bigger, but this would be a great daily (or interview bag) for a lot of us. (Note that this dark burgundy and navy look great together!) There’s also … Read More about Coffee Break: Martha Medium Satchel Bag
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Sleeveless Crepe Cady Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Monday! I love the crisp pintucks and darts on this classic-yet-creative Marni dress — and the thick hem at the bottom and yoke on the back is really cool. The white piping at the neckline is lovely, too. (On … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Sleeveless Crepe Cady Dress
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Fine Gauge Supima Cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. It seems like the twinset has been a dying species for a few years now — so I was intrigued to see Lands’ End carrying numerous colors of fun, printed cardigans with matching short-sleeved shells. (Not all of the cardigans … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Fine Gauge Supima Cardigan
Coffee Break: Robinson Medium Leather Tote
Le sigh… I’ve been stalking this “storm blue and bright blue leather tote” for weeks now, and I love it. The textured leather, the internal pockets, the very ladylike look… love. There’s a bigger version, too, but the satchel here is $495. Siiiigh…. Tory Burch Robinson Medium Leather Tote (L-2)
Thursday’s TPS Report: Three-Button Striped Knit Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’ve been ogling this black and white mixed stripe blazer for a few weeks now, and it’s at the best price I’ve seen it at: was $125, then $85, today marked to $55.25. I think it’s a fun, summery piece … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Three-Button Striped Knit Blazer
Suit of the Week: Tahari ASL
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. Happy Wednesday! … Read More about Suit of the Week: Tahari ASL
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Contrast-Trim Cashmere Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: my favorite, softest, most luxurious, best cashmere sweater is Autumn Cashmere. So even though this black/blue contrast-trim cashmere blazer is down to lucky sizes only, I’m still drooling over it. I’d wear … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Contrast-Trim Cashmere Blazer
Coffee Break: Emery Camel Suede
I realize these are not the most fashionable shoes — but for some reason I keep coming back to them. I like the muted suede colors, the comfortable heel height (2.25″) and stable heel, and I really like the kilt/belt feature on the vamp. It doesn’t hurt that they’re $56 and available in four colors … Read More about Coffee Break: Emery Camel Suede
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Bentley Ombre Tweed Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I continue to be obsessed with the Off Fifth sale going on right now. Today I’m liking this bright, happy, and yes, Very Springy ombre tweed jacket from Lafayette 148 New York. I think the solid side panels are flattering … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Bentley Ombre Tweed Jacket
Coffee Break: Sweet Pea File Folders
I’m always a fan of colorful, happy folders — maybe not for submitting things to your supervisor, but they’re great for your own purposes. These navy/yellow/pink folders from The Container Store pretty much ring all of my bells — and they’re only $5.99 for a pack of six. Hooray! Container Store Sweet Pea File Folders … Read More about Coffee Break: Sweet Pea File Folders
