This post was originally written in November 2012, and updated in 2019 with new links. You guise: I LOVE THIS NECKLACE. I ordered it a few weeks ago from Bauble Bar (I got a “G”) and was so, so thrilled about it that I’ve been wearing it everywhere. It’s such a far cry from my … Read More about Workwear Hall of Fame – Asymmetrical Mini Letter Necklace
Coffee Break – ‘Gardner’ Pump
Yes, these are kind of bright colors for pumps, but a) a pop of color is nice — imagine these with an otherwise gray-on-gray ensemble, for example; b) they’ve got good reviews on Nordstrom, and c) 50% off never hurts. Although I love a purple suede pump, I’m kind of leaning towards the blue ones … Read More about Coffee Break – ‘Gardner’ Pump
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Pintucked 3/4 Sleeve Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Oooh – this is the kind of blouse that I love, because it’s mostly just a black blouse but it has some really interesting pintucking at the top. I think those banded three-quarter sleeves look great, and I like the … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Pintucked 3/4 Sleeve Blouse
Thursday’s TPS Report: T Tahari Cali Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I like the unusual neckline on this blue and navy dress from Tahari, and I like the geometric side insets.

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Seared Chevrons Cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. The outfit here is a bit, um, casual/creative — but that sweater is amazing. I love the “seared chevrons” on this cardigan — it’s a bold and graphic look but also, I think, a fun twist on what I generally … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Seared Chevrons Cardigan
Coffee Break – Darleen Pumps
Hmmn: not only are these low navy pumps on sale, but the 18 reviews are all overwhelmingly positive. Comfortable! Gorgeous! Walkable! I thought I’d post the navy since it’s always hard to find navy pumps (but note — you can wear black shoes with navy outfits); but these also come in black. They were $99, … Read More about Coffee Break – Darleen Pumps

The below content is about the 2012 Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale. Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Somehow, there are many teal jackets like this in stores right now, from high to low. I would have said they were “inspired” by the Rebecca Minkoff jacket that every … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Open Shawl Collar Jacket
