Chic flats (particularly ones with straps) can be difficult to find, which is why I love the look of these lace-up leather flats from Aquazzura (available in both black suede and beige leather). I particularly like the zipper in the back! I’m not sure I’d wear these with a skirt to the office, but I … Read More about Coffee Break: Belgravia Lace-Up Leather Flats
Thursday’s TPS Report: Trimmed Ponte One Button Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I like this colorful ponte blazer from Limited, as well as the navy trim and navy polka dot lining (squee!). It seems like a fun addition to a navy sheath, or even worn as here (with jeans and a white … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Trimmed Ponte One Button Blazer
Suit of the Week: L.K. Bennett
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. Whenever I … Read More about Suit of the Week: L.K. Bennett
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Paige Jacquard Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Off Fifth has a great selection of workwear pieces right now, including this white jacquard blazer from Elie Tahari. White blazers are one of my favorite summer staples, and I love the little details — the peplum, the jacquard, the … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Paige Jacquard Jacket
Coffee Break: A Satchel
Reader A wrote in to recommend this fun tote/satchel from Kate Spade Saturday, noting: I finally decided to give up my Longchamp and looked high and low for an affordable, structured bag that would fit an umbrella, small water bottle, large-ish wallet, phone, ipad, additional documents, and maybe lunch or something in a semi-organized fashion … Read More about Coffee Break: A Satchel
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Sunmosa Ponte Seam Detail Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Ooh: love this dress, available in “navy dusk” and cream. It basically has everything I look for in a work sheath… It’s fitted but not too tight. It has waist details that are flattering and not reminiscent of corsets or … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Sunmosa Ponte Seam Detail Dress
Coffee Break: Julia Perforated Handbag
Happy St. Paddy’s Day! I’m usually not a fan of “wear the color on the day” holidays, but I WILL say that kelly green is one of my favorite colors for handbags, if only because the color is so unwearable in almost every other iteration (skirts, blouses, sweaters, etc), unless your skin tone is just … Read More about Coffee Break: Julia Perforated Handbag
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Wool Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Monday! I’m loving the crisp, geometric pattern on this Paul Smith Black blazer — it looks wild at first, but I think in practice it would actually work as a more fashion-y version of a gray blazer. (Should you … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Wool Jacket
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Black Check Pencil Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Friday! I like the look of this black check pencil dress, available at Dorothy Perkins in sizes 2-18. It looks interesting but classic, and (ahem) would be a great starting point for mixing patterns — I’d try a a … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Black Check Pencil Dress
Coffee Break: Florisa Pointy Toe Pump
We’ve seen a lot of shoes like this over the past few years, but this one may be one of my favorites. First, I like the fact that the shoe is made from printed leather, not satin, tweed, or plastic. I also like the fairly modest 2.5″ heel, and the fact that it’s coming from … Read More about Coffee Break: Florisa Pointy Toe Pump
Thursday’s TPS Report: Sloan Sheath
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’ve been eyeing this Sloan Sheath from BR for a few weeks now — it comes in multiple colors, multiple sizes (0-16, regular, tall, petite), and has mostly good ratings. The wild orchid (pictured) and “lava” are still full price … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Sloan Sheath
