Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Pintucked Layering Shell
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This pintucked layering shell looks like a great piece for under cardigans, blazers, and more. I like the tiny keyhole slit, and the flattering vertical lines down the front. It’s a new arrival at The Limited and $49.95, but you … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Pintucked Layering Shell
Coffee Break: Avery Leather Convertible Backpack
I have problems with Lord & Taylor’s website — even now, sorting by “handbags” shows me a million dresses, and there was a period this summer where every time I tried to check out they helpfully emptied my cart — but the sale today is pretty good, and since I’ve already spent far too much … Read More about Coffee Break: Avery Leather Convertible Backpack
Thursday’s TPS Report: Faux Leather Trim Knit Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Thursday!

Suit of the Week: Red Fleece
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. I’ve been … Read More about Suit of the Week: Red Fleece
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Square Neck Top
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I heart this top. The neckline seems classic but with a vintage vibe, and I like that it isn’t a direct peplum top (but just, you know, a flared hem). The top is wool and cotton, and fully lined… lovely. … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Square Neck Top
Coffee Break: Golda Ruched Suede Pointy Pump
Neiman Marcus has a ton of markdowns on designer shoes, including some very lucky sizes for Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo. These suede pumps were $775, but are now marked to $348 — for me they’d probably mostly live at the office (beige suede is too high maintenance for me) but they’d be my go-to … Read More about Coffee Break: Golda Ruched Suede Pointy Pump
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Dribble Colorblock Leather Front Top
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Leather can be difficult for the office — it can look too tough, too cheap, too sexy — but this top doesn’t really have any of those problems. Instead, were this simple colorblocked peplum top made out of silk I … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Dribble Colorblock Leather Front Top
Coffee Break: Cable Sweater Tights
OK, at this point it’s more like Happy Hour rather than Coffee Break, but for those of you just settling in with hours to go (or, hey, the West Coast readers), I thought I’d point out that Bare Necessities is offering 30% off the clearance sales, resulting in some good prices. Lots of lucky sizes … Read More about Coffee Break: Cable Sweater Tights
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Blazer with Raw Edges
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. If you love the cut and style of Chanel jackets, but hate the colors and inevitable gold threads (is it just me or do they all have metallic threads?), this looks like the blazer for you. Love those defined seams, … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Blazer with Raw Edges
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Cap Sleeve Dress with Buckle Belt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This kind of dress has its pros and cons. The pros: big sale, lots of sizes, bright color, very versatile shape.
