Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
This is your basic shell sleeveless blouse, but I like that it's only $20 (huzzah!), and I like the little button at the back — it gives it a bit of a nicer look. Reviewers at Uniqlo's site love it and say it doesn't wrinkle, is good for layering, and keeps you cool in hot weather. We're featuring it in olive but it also comes in mustard yellow and off-white and navy in sizes XS-XL. Drape Sleeveless Blouse
Here's a plus-size option for $23.
(If you're a fan of jumpsuits, whether for work or play, this $29 jumpsuit has tons of great reviews and has an interesting half-tuck look I haven't seen too many other places.)

I’m sorry it’s working out like that, and it is objectively unfair. As an introvert and very much a homebody (with a husband and young children), I HATE spending my weekends visiting anyone other than family, with my immediate family. I went to my BFF’s bachelor e t t e party recently and I was dreading it, and was so glad when it was over. That probably makes me not a great friend, but it is the truth and how I feel. It’s trite, but there are seasons in life, and your friend is in an intense I-have-responsibilities-at-home season (plus a disposible-income-and-time are limited season). Can you think of other ways to connect in the meantime? Snail mail greeting cards, voxer, some inside joke that you can keep running in a text message?
