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.
We like this ladylike nappa leather bag with geometric details by Zac Posen. To us, it's the little details that make the bag so fine — the hexagonal zipper pull, the suede lining, the pleats in the leather. We especially like the size — at 16 x 13.5 x 6.5 (at base), it's big enough to hold your wallet, your sunglasses, a small paperback book, and all your technology. Available on sale at eLuxury for $1,169 (down from $1,925). Zac Posen – Iris Bag, Gray

I really like the structure of this bag. Recently I started (re)carrying a purse from a couple of years ago and am surprised at how unstructured and sloppy looking it is despite being snakeskin.
I find I’m craving structure in my clothes as well! Maybe its related to the free falling economy.
