Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This lovely full slip was suggested by reader E, who notes that “Full slips are difficult to find, and are often too short or too long. These have some kind of weight at the bottom, so they always hang properly. … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Commando Slipology’s 20″ Full Slip

We’re loving this cropped, fitted blazer, although not in the picture from Shopbop. This kind of blazer is a perfect way to dress up something with a bit more volume — a slightly billowy dress, t-shirt, or tank. The details are what make this blazer worthy of the splurge (to us, at least) — the silk lining, the 5 buttons at the cuffs, the peplum in the back, and the asymetrical hem. Lovely. It’s $385 at Shopbop.com. Elizabeth and James Panama Blazer

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Ok, we’re totally loving this black and gray plaid dress. Great neckline, great hemline, great pattern.

We had hoped this sweater would be part of the Nordstrom anniversary sale, but alas, it is not. We love, love, love, the print and the flattering pink shade. It’s fun, it’s feminine, but it’s neither Barbie (the black pattern tones down the print) nor goth (imagine the sweater in a dark red). We’d wear it with gray slacks and a black jewel-neck t-shirt beneath, or perhaps over a black sheath dress. Tory Burch ‘Simone’ Merino Wool Cardigan
