Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Love this cotton v-neck cardigan from Etro — particularly the trim of purple and orange. While I do wish it were a more luxurious fabric (<cough>, silk or cashmere, <cough>), I think the weave looks even, tight, and high quality. … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Slate and Purple V-Neck Cardigan
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Tartlet Burst Top
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This strikes me as a really fun top for a casual workday. The extra strip of fabric gives it a bit of an asymmetrical look from afar, but up close it has almost a keyhole effect. I’d wear it with … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Tartlet Burst Top
Coffee Break – ‘Quilting Tribeca’ Satchel
Love this “quilting Tribeca” satchel from Marc Jacobs. It’s simple, elegant, and big enough to actually fit a ton of stuff (15.5″Wx11″Hx6″D). I do wish it were lined in a lighter fabric (so much easier to see inside the bag!) but maybe that’s just me. It’s $1,395 at Nordstrom. MARC JACOBS ‘Quilting Tribeca’ Satchel (L-2)
Thursday’s TPS Report: Paintbox floral cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Ah, spring — where it’s 70 degrees one day, and 45 the next. The key to schizophrenic weather is to dress in layers, which for me has always meant lots of cardigans (sometimes even under blazers, buttoned like a regular … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Paintbox floral cardigan
Suit of the Week: Brooks Brothers
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 like … Read More about Suit of the Week: Brooks Brothers
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Calypso Flower Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Hat tip to commenter AIMS, who mentioned this dress yesterday — I love the vintage vibe, the flattering cut, and the unusual color (at least, orange is unusual for me!). It’s at a nice price, too: $118 at French Connection. … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Calypso Flower Dress
Coffee Break – White Gold Black Diamond Accented Huggie Hoop Earrings
I love a good huggie hoop earring. These white gold earrings with teeny black diamonds look like they would be lovely, comfortable, and bring just the slightest bit of “edge” to most outfits. They’re $490 at Saks Fifth Avenue. Jude Frances 18K White Gold Black Diamond Accented Huggie Hoop Earrings (L-2)
Tuesday’s TPS Report: A-Line Pleat-Godet Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I really like this A-line pleat skirt from Lafayette 148 New York. Love the way the pleat seems so daring if you look at it one way (although it’s a far cry from Angelina at the Oscars), yet conservative if … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: A-Line Pleat-Godet Skirt
Coffee Break – Collina Shoes
I decided to hunt for a walkable, attractive shoe for under $50 today… and I really like the Collina from Naturalizer. I like the little ties, which sort of makes them like Mary Jane versions of an oxford, as well as the cutouts on the suede. I like that it comes in so many colors … Read More about Coffee Break – Collina Shoes
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Terrazo Tweed Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. One often hears that these little cropped tweed jackets are classics… yet I think it is so rare to see one that actually looks flattering. So, hats off to J.Crew — they’ve done it! I like the longer look to … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Terrazo Tweed Jacket
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Shirred Dolman Sleeve Tops
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Reader C writes in to recommend this lovely top from Old Navy, noting: “I’ve gotten three compliments on it already, it’s gorgeous with a vintage vibe and totally office appropriate. I’ve worn it today with a navy suit, but the … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Shirred Dolman Sleeve Tops
Coffee Break – Karen Pumps
Sure, these pumps are kind of boring — but they’re Kate Spade classics, and they’re part of a pretty good sale right now at Zappos. I actually like the camel suede the best, which of course is the only one not on sale — but these simple camel patent ones (pictured) are almost just as … Read More about Coffee Break – Karen Pumps
