The Hunt: Lightweight Summer Blazers
Sure, we all know what basics professional women are supposed to have in their closets, but if you’re buying one for the first time or replacing one you’ve worn into the ground, it can be a pain to find exactly the right incarnation in stores. In “The Hunt,” we search the stores for a basic … Read More about The Hunt: Lightweight Summer Blazers
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Plaxico Jacket
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. But I like the idea of a darker, but lighter weight jacket, for in-between weather like we’ve been having here in NYC the past few … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Plaxico Jacket
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
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.

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Knit Herringbone Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Love this knit herringbone jacket from BR.

Banana Republic Knit Herringbone Jacket Seen a great … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Knit Herringbone Jacket
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Fitted Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. In general I’m not a fan of the super cheap blazer, but they have their place: when you’re losing or gaining weight, when everything you own is dirty, when you’re traveling and without your regular wardrobe… and I’ll admit it, … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Fitted Blazer
Tuesday’s TPS Report: The Fiance Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Hmmn: let’s agree to ignore the unfortunate leggings and focus instead on the blazer, which looks like a great shrunken blazer. Love the slightly wide lapels, the length of the overall blazer, and saturated red color. It’s $198 at ShopBop. … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: The Fiance Blazer

Splurge Tuesday’s TPS Report: Striped One-Button Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Tuesday! I am absolutely loving the wide stripes and the high button on this Giorgio Armani jacket.

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Ruffled Tweed 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.
