These shoes caught my eye during last week’s strappy pumps roundup, and a week later I still think they great for what they are: an inexpensive heel from the makers of Hush Puppies. I like the Mary Jane strap, the rounded toe, and the pearlized patent. They’re cheapest at 6pm (priced $36-$47 in purple (pictured), … Read More about Coffee Break: Cloie Pump
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Autumn Tweed Sheath Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Prices at 6pm tend to swing around, and this dress has been dipping as low as the $30s and as high as the $60s or $70s in recent days. So I’m happy to report that today it’s $39.99, making it … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Autumn Tweed Sheath Dress
Coffee Break: Color-block Leather Tote
I kind of love everything The Row is doing — they specialize in great basics, but everything just seems modern, fresh, clean, and super lux. Of course, you pay for that (this tote is $3,150) but I like the smart interior partitions, as well as the colorblocking and single handle. The Row Color-block Leather Tote … Read More about Coffee Break: Color-block Leather Tote
Thursday’s TPS Report: Giraffe Hernanda Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I apparently am loving Trina Turk this week. This black and beige silk blouse seems classic but fun at the same time, and even I could wear that beige (says the girl who normally avoids it like the plague). The … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Giraffe Hernanda Blouse
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Paige Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Angie at YouLookFab just had a post about how navy is everywhere these days, but brown is so hard to find, which got me thinking about my own brown clothing through the years. This particular mink/light coffee color has always … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Paige Jacket
Coffee Break: Circle Stud Earring
I tend to dislike post earrings, as well as faux gems, but sometimes it’s nice to have an inexpensive, colorful, simple earring to pop in when you’re feeling uninspired. These earrings come in topaz, light blue, and black — but my heart is with the colorful fuchsia. They were $35, but with code BRMAJOR you … Read More about Coffee Break: Circle Stud Earring
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I often remember a weekend suggestion from a few years ago — a terrycloth moto jacket from Gap — that shocked the heck out of me when it sold out within hours of being posted. (I don’t think it was the traffic from the Corporette link much/at … Read More about Weekend Open Thread
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Bow Front Tee
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Dorothy Perkins (where the sale just hit up to 70% off) has a number of cute polyester blouse/tees with bow details. I’m liking this bow front tee, which I think might be a nice, feminine look under a suit (or … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Bow Front Tee
Thursday’s TPS Report: Black Paige Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Bluefly has this cute, lightweight Tahari jacket on sale. I like the teeny tiny shawl lapel, and the flaps on the pockets. I’d keep the jacket it in my office to wear with dresses and more. It was $188, was … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Black Paige Jacket
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Stretch Wool Peplum Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Here’s another great sale on a blazer: this stretch wool peplum jacket from Lafayette 148 New York. I like that the color is extremely versatile, and for once I like the peplum/flounce. It was $498, but is now $149 (sizes … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Stretch Wool Peplum Jacket
Thursday’s TPS Report: Faux Leather Trim Knit Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Thursday! I’m liking this knit jacket from Isaac Mizrahi with faux leather trim — it looks sophisticated yet modern at the same time.

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Square Neck Top
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I heart this top. The neckline seems classic but with a vintage vibe, and I like that it isn’t a direct peplum top (but just, you know, a flared hem). The top is wool and cotton, and fully lined… lovely. … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Square Neck Top
