Fun! Everyone needs a colorful wallet (so it’s easier to find in your bag), and I like this purple one from Marc by Marc Jacobs. I particularly like that the pattern just reads as a standard dot print until you look closer and see that it’s rows and rows of stars. It was $98, but … Read More about Coffee Break: Reluctant Stars Zip Wallet
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Asymmetric leather-trimmed jacquard jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Ooh: love this intriguing little jacket from Helmut Lang, on deep discount at The Outnet. I like the light-green leather details, as well as the light gray jacquard — the phrase “effortless chic” comes to mind, particularly when paired with … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Asymmetric leather-trimmed jacquard jacket
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Long Sleeve Deep V-Neck Drape Top
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m a big fan of Lands’ End lately, having recently purchased a bunch of ponte dresses which are fabulous (and sadly mostly sold out). One of the pieces I have (in both the green and the red leaves) that’s still … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Long Sleeve Deep V-Neck Drape Top
Thursday’s TPS Report: Ponte Peplum One Button Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Thursday! I’m loving the simplicity of this ponte jacket — no collar, no lapels, no pockets, no ruffles, no nada. It kind of reminds me of a ’40s silhouette, but I suppose all flared peplum jackets do in a … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Ponte Peplum One Button Jacket
Suit of the Week: Talbots
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. Sigh: I … Read More about Suit of the Week: Talbots
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Perla Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Aggressively striped blazers have been around for a few years now, but I really like this one — the gray on gray, double button, slightly fitted silhouette… lovely. It’s modal/cotton/spandex, which promises to be comfy (but note that it will … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Perla Blazer
Coffee Break: Gabba Heels
Wow: 6pm has some great sales on Bruno Magli shoes today. Tons of cute pumps, a few cute wedges, and a lot of nice boots, too. My favorite are these strappy slingbacks in a lovely wine color (also available in black). They look cool, classic, and chic. They were $560, but are now marked to … Read More about Coffee Break: Gabba Heels
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Military Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This feels like a fresh take on the fit and flare dress: a Nehru collar, a front zipper, and some serious seaming throughout. I like. It’s $350 at Karen Millen. Karen Millen Military Dress Seen a great piece you’d like … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Military Dress
Coffee Break: Immortality Studs
I don’t like a lot of post earrings — and lately it seems like when I do find a rare pair that I like, they’re clip-ons. (Readers, do any of you wear clip-ons earrings?) So I’m excited to say that these lovely post earrings are actual posts. I like the bright pop of color, and … Read More about Coffee Break: Immortality Studs
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Peplum Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Monday! I love this burgundy wool peplum jacket by Isabel Marant — the darts, the jewel neckline… lovely. I might try adding a brooch or two (or three) to the shoulder area, but that’s me. It’s $955 at Barney’s. … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Peplum Jacket
Coffee Break: Sophia Leather Satchel
I was recently drooling over a skirt in a similar color from Rachel Roy, but let’s face it: an iridescent leather skirt isn’t going to get a ton of wear, even if you do think leather skirts are ok for the office. An iridescent leather bag, now, that’s a different issue — which is why … Read More about Coffee Break: Sophia Leather Satchel
Thursday’s TPS Report: Salma Aqua Tile Effect Bodycon Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Reiss’s Outlet continues to have a bunch of great deals, including this sheath dress (which, admittedly, is described as “body con,” but to me doesn’t look overly body conscious). I like the waist ruching, the boatneck, and the asymmetrical V … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Salma Aqua Tile Effect Bodycon Dress
