Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: 3.1 Phillip Lim Cotton-Blend Military Jacket

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We begin the week in splurge mode, with our most expensive suggestions, and wind our way to Friday, where a less expensive item of clothing might be just what you need to make it to the weekend. Oooh: a great, splurge-worthy piece from 3. Phillip Lim — a lovely cream jacket to add to your spring working wardrobe. We love the floating epaulets, the toggle closure, and the artfully placed (and functional) pockets. It's nice with a delicate dress, as shown, but we think it's even nicer with a brightly-colored tank and a pair of black slacks, or perhaps a pastel tee and a pair of brown or navy slacks. It's $525 at Net-a-Porter.com. 3.1 Phillip Lim Cotton-Blend Military Jacket
