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.

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Boyfriend Blazer With “Fluro” Trim
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Wool Boucle Jacket

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Cashmere Knit Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Monday! I am loving this simple blazer from Akris.
