Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This dress looks kind of amazing. Wide boatneck, interesting back cutout (but still appropriate for work, I think — ladies, what do you say?), flattering seaming in the front, and interesting pleating. And it’s still available in sizes 2-16, and … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Sleeveless Shift Dress
Coffee Break: Ainsley Jenna Shoulder Bag
6pm.com has a pretty decent sale on Cole Haan (clothes, bags, shoes, everything). I’m liking this Jenna Shoulder Bag, which I have in a slightly different version — it’s one of my favorite purses. Like mine, this one looks like it has supple leather and great interior organization (as well as a few extra pockets … Read More about Coffee Break: Ainsley Jenna Shoulder Bag
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Belted Peplum Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m not a big fan of the styling here (those pants! and give the model a sandwich!) but this avant-garde jacket from David Szeto seems really promising. It’s unusual, interesting, and very artistic — but it still reads like a … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Belted Peplum Jacket
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Sleeveless Colorblock Shift Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Clearly, this is a summer dress — but now is exactly the time you’re going to get big deals (this one is 66% off) on summer items. I think this would make a great addition to a summer wardrobe — … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Sleeveless Colorblock Shift Dress

Thursday’s TPS Report: Tuileries Top
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I have mixed feelings about Peter Pan collars. That’s not true — I normally hate them. Something about this silk/viscose top is making me rethink that, though — I really like the half placket, the pleating, and the drape of … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Tuileries Top
Suit of the Week: Albert Nipon
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. Houndstooth can … Read More about Suit of the Week: Albert Nipon
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Long-Sleeved Geometric-Print Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Wednesday! I’m loving the geometric print and the bold colors with this Lauren by Ralph Lauren dress — something about it reminds me of stained glass. It’s available in sizes 2-16 at Lord & Taylor for $139 full price … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Long-Sleeved Geometric-Print Dress
Coffee Break: Martha Medium Satchel Bag
I always like a good Furla bag, and I could see this light gray one being useful for all seasons. At 10″H x 13″W x 4″D this isn’t the biggest bag out there, but will fit a magazine or folder as well as all your stuff. It’s on a decent sale as part of Last … Read More about Coffee Break: Martha Medium Satchel Bag
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Sweater Pencil Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m loving this sweater pencil skirt from Rachel Pally — the malachite chevron looks fun and artistic without being totally wackadoodle. What IS wackadoodle is suggesting that this skirt be worn as a tube dress, but let’s just forgive ShopBop … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Sweater Pencil Skirt
Coffee Break: Maison Boinet Brick Red Calf Hair Wide Belt
I love this fabulous red calf-hair belt — what a great way to add some pizzazz to cardigans, pencil skirt/blouse combos, and more. It looks a lot more lux than it’s priced — it was $198, then marked to $117.99, but at Bluefly today it’s $70.79 (also available in black). Maison Boinet Brick Red Calf … Read More about Coffee Break: Maison Boinet Brick Red Calf Hair Wide Belt
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Pattern-Blocked Wool-Blend Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Now THIS is colorblocking I can get behind — three normal patterns (heather gray, polka dots, and houndstooth) are mixed with plain black fabric for an interesting, flattering look that is quite sophisticated. It’s part of Saks’s Extended Sneak Peek … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Pattern-Blocked Wool-Blend Dress
