Thursday’s Workwear Report: Pom-Pom Flower Top

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
Talbots has been making this top for a really long time — I remember I had one in dark green about 1,000 years ago. The ruffled V-neck is wonderful for layering under lightweight sweaters, particularly ones with V-necks so that you're matching the neckline shape, and it's a really cute top, especially in yellow.
I've said it before, I'll say it again: I love wearing yellow with gray because it bypasses the “bumblebee” look that can come with yellow and black and also avoids the preppy or sports-team vibes that you often get when you wear yellow and navy.
The top comes in four colors in misses, petites, woman, and woman petites sizes at Talbots. It's $89.50 full price and is currently marked down to $67.12 — and right now, Talbots is having their Spring Style Event, which gives you 25% off your entire purchase.

Maybe too late for today… I think want to buy a wig. I have super short hair (buzzed at 7 – 8) but would like to occasionally have long hair down. Would this send some message that I don’t realize but maybe don’t want to send? How does one buy a wig? What should I look for? Should I spring for human hair? My natural hair color is black / dark dark brown, if it matters.
TIA!
I wouldn’t wear a wig at work. But for fun, yeah sure!
There was a great Ask a Manager recently about a woman who used to completely change her appearance during her lunch break (like hair color, hair length, clothes), even on days where they had external clients who thought she was two separate people.
OK, that sounds cray cray.
