Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Both the store and the brand are new ones to me: the store (Luisaviaroma) bills itself as “latest collections from top designers,” and the brand (Tagliatore), upon closer inspection, is not something to serve with bolognese sauce, and is instead … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Wool Boucle Jacket

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Boot-Cut Crepe Pants
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Ooooh: love these Michael Kors boot-cut crepe pants. Beige is not normally a color that excites me (pants or otherwise) but this light caramel color really looks lux and fresh to me. The pants were $895, now marked to $534, … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Boot-Cut Crepe Pants
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Long Sleeve Colorblocked Cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I keep coming back to this Alfani sweater at Macy’s — the yellow/lime looks fun and vibrant, and I think it would be a good match for anything from trousers, to dresses, to skinnier pants, to even jeans on the … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Long Sleeve Colorblocked Cardigan
Coffee Break – White and Black Diamond Hoop
I was recently introduced to the shop LooptyHoops, which specializes in hoop earrings — including some lovely huggie earrings (my personal favorite for the office). I’m currently lusting after these white and black diamond hoops — they’re sparkly yet understated at the same time, and so much more interesting than the normal boring diamond posts. … Read More about Coffee Break – White and Black Diamond Hoop
Thursday’s TPS Report: ‘Françoise’ High Neck Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Yes, this is a bit boring, but my guess is that this silk blouse will quickly become a wardrobe staple. It’s simple from afar, but as you get closer you notice the bit of pleating on the front and the … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: ‘Françoise’ High Neck Blouse
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. I’m liking … Read More about Suit of the Week: Talbots
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Colorblocked Cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Love this colorblocked cardigan from Karen Millen — and so does reader L.

I’ve received lots of compliments around the … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Colorblocked Cardigan
Coffee Break – Closed-Toe Slip-Ons
Oooh: I first spied these in the black/gray/blue combo, but when I saw the purple I knew it was fate: I love these purple pumps from Fornarina. I love the way the purple leather details wrap around the front of the shoe — almost as if it were a peep toe, but I believe this … Read More about Coffee Break – Closed-Toe Slip-Ons
Tuesday’s TPS Report: ‘Kat’ Wide Leg Pants
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I can’t quite say what it is about these trousers, but I keep coming back to them (and I’m pretty sure it’s more than the name). I like the wide leg that gets slightly wider at the bottom (instead of … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: ‘Kat’ Wide Leg Pants
Coffee Break – Fretwell Satchel
Zappos has a number of nice-looking Aldo purses for surprisingly affordable prices. This purple “Fretwell” (also available in cognac/bronze) looks great. I love the faux ostrich leather and the dark, dark purple. It’s (wow) $48 at Zappos. ALDO – Fretwell (Purple) – Bags and Luggage (L-2)
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Soft Snap Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. One of my favorite movies is “How To Steal A Million,” an old Audrey Hepburn/Peter O’Toole romantic comedy/heist movie. Part of getting ready for the big caper involves dressing Hepburn up like a cleaning lady. “Now what has that accomplished?” … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Soft Snap Jacket
