Reader J wrote in to sing the praises of these wine-colored pumps from AK Anne Klein: They’re quite comfortable, the heel isn’t too high, and the cut out on the inside of the shoe gives it a little visual interest. And I love the wine color – not quite a neutral and not so bright … Read More about Coffee Break: Christa Basic Pump
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Oooh, great jacket from Milly. We love the unusual elbow-length sleeves, as well as the ruffle and the single button. We’d wear it with gray trousers and a bright pastel t-shirt (yellow? mint?) in springtime, and, perhaps, a long silver … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Milly Ruffled Cotton Pique Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We’re liking the looks of this purple jersey dress from Maggy London. We like the ruching at the waist, the 3/4-length sleeves, and the black “buckle” at the waist. We’d wear it with a simple black camisole and some pearls. … Read More about Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Jersey Dress
You know, it has been far too long since we expressed our love for purple shoes. (Unless we’re crazy and we did it last week, in which case, our apologies.) They go with navy and black, they add a dose of funk (in a conservative way), and, in general, they’re great. We had not seen … Read More about Coffee Break: Cole Haan OT Air Pump
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We’ve never been to a Martin & Osa store, but we’ve heard good things about its quality. Today we’re liking this cotton cardigan — we like the buttons on the placard, as well as the horizontal ribbing. We’d wear it … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Admiral Shawl Cardigan
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, which should be as classic and basic as you get — instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional. Lots of new suits … Read More about Suit of the Week
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We’ve always admired women who can pull this look off — the casual yet professional leather jacket. We like the styling here — the scarf so close to the neck, the skirt to add some femininity. It’s available in sizes … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Goat Suede Casual Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We’ve noticed this jacket about five times over the past four weeks, and we’re finally posting it. We like the loose, sweater quality (lambswool and cashmere), combined with the jacket vibe.

We’ve been loving Ann Taylor’s accessories as of late, including this two-tier crystal necklace. We’d wear it in place of pearls with a simple boatneck — particularly against a richly-hued blouse like this one from Gap. It’s $58 at Ann Taylor. Crystal Two-Tier Necklace
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Call us crazy, but it seems like we are seeing a resurgence of that in-again out-again classic, the snake print. Animal prints for the office can be dicey, but we really like this simple shift dress from Tory Burch. The … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Snake-Print Carmela Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We like this merino wool top by Antonio Melani.

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Brooks Brothers has some good stuff on clearance right now, including this lovely ruffled neck blouse.
