Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Jersey Tami
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Maybe this is news to no one but me, but I’m intrigued by Old Navy’s “tami” — a camisole with thicker straps than a camisole, but thinner straps than a tank top. They sell it in 3-packs! TONS of colors! … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Jersey Tami

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Reader E wrote in to recommend this dress, noting: “I just tried on this dress in the store, and it’s amazing!

The Hunt: Stylish Interview Totes
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: Stylish Interview Totes
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: “Work the Right Angle” Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Suit of the Week: Classiques Entier
For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning. In general, this feature is not about interview suits for women, which should be as classic and basic as you get — instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional. I love the … Read More about Suit of the Week: Classiques Entier

Coffee Break: Suede T-Strap Peep-Toes
I’ve been ogling these sophisticated light brown T-strap peep-toes from Brooks Brothers for a few weeks. I like the mixed leathers (suede and patent), the 3″ heel with .25″ platform, and the sale: the heel was $228, but is now $91. (Brooks Brothers is a reader favorite for comfortable heels, so their shoe sale might be worth … Read More about Coffee Break: Suede T-Strap Peep-Toes
Coffee Break: Brass Elephant Bowl
This little friendly brass elephant strikes me as the perfect thing to give some personality to your office, as well as to help you keep some tiny things — paperclips, perhaps — organized. (Or, if you take your earring(s) off for long phone calls, you can always keep them here when you’re not wearing them.) … Read More about Coffee Break: Brass Elephant Bowl
