Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
This gorgeous chocolate brown color is everywhere this fall. I’m loving this shirtdress from City Chic which looks like a great way to bridge the gap when you want to drink a pumpkin spice latte, but it’s still 80 degrees outside.
I would wear this with these beautiful tortoiseshell flats I found the other day and enjoy my apple cider donuts in the sunshine.
The dress is $149.99 at City Chic and comes in sizes 10-26. It’s also available in black, heavenly pink, and buttermilk.

We were down until 5 minutes ago. Thank you for your patience!
Looking for gift ideas – an i-banker I know well nominated me for an industry award that I ended up getting. One of their associates put together the nomination package with a wonderful recommendation, and a couple of my colleagues helped them with details. I’ve thanked them profusely, but I’d like to send a small gift as a thank you to at least the bankers (how about my colleagues?). The nomination came at a time when I really needed an uplift. I know wine and other consumables would be welcomed, but would love help on any particular gifts that might be welcomed eagerly. Need to be mailable across state lines too.
I’ve given the Rogue River bleu cheese gift baskets before and they’ve always been a hit.
Thank you note.

I think a hand written note is the best option here.
I don’t understand the need to gift in response to being thought of in high regard. You earned that and they clearly thought you deserved the recognition and award – they didn’t do you a favor.
In Helsinki for 24 hours this Sat morn-Sunday. Been there before so done the typical touristy stuff and as a foodie, didn’t love what I ate last time. Any recs for cafes/food/things to do?
A rant and a request:
I live near a giant high school located in a neighborhood of narrow streets. School starts where when it is dark now (due to a shortage of busses and drivers, some schools in our district will start ultra-early). We have a huge concentration of inexperienced drivers, giant school busses, on-street parking, and trash collection one day a week. And yet there are a LOT of runners and dog walkers who have no reflective items, no lights, and no headlights and are basically invisible from behind. The runners are often in the streets, often in groups. The way-too-bright lights of oncoming cars and busses basically blind drivers and make it hard to see other people off to the sides flitting in and out of sidewalks and parked cars and trying-to-parallel-park cars. Don’t even get me started on the no-headlights scooters and e-bikes.
PLEASE, PLEASE if you are on foot, wear something like NoxGear so that you can be seen, especially if you are not walking or running against traffic. No one wants to start their day with an accident. Even a headlamp doesn’t make you visible to others from any angle but head-on.
