Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Ooh: I like this DvF twill jacket. Of course, of course: I love the purple.

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Wool Boucle Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Both the store and the brand are new ones to me: the store (Luisaviaroma) bills itself as “latest collections from top designers,” and the brand (Tagliatore), upon closer inspection, is not something to serve with bolognese sauce, and is instead … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Wool Boucle Jacket

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I like all Armani stuff, but for some reason this ruffled tweed jacket is totally calling my name.
