Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
We know it's been around a while, but we still love it and kind of think it's approaching “classic” territory — the YSL Muse. We particularly like it in this lovely gray, currently available at Bluefly. The soft leather… the shoulder straps that sit comfortably… the bag big enough for all of your business papers… it's just a great bag. This gray one is now $1,516 (was $1,895).
