Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. For some reason I always think of Calvin Klein dresses as lucky finds at TJ Maxx or the like — they often come down to this price range (around $50) and in many ways are great dresses. This black sheath … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Black and Green Tank Dress
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Tarnished Serpent Mixed-Media Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This dress reminds me of the reader favorite Ivy & Blu dress — the high V-neck, the defined waist, and the slight A-line to the skirt. This one is not a faux wrap, and has a serpent pattern on the … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Tarnished Serpent Mixed-Media Dress
Coffee Break: Orchard Enamel Watch
I was going to write a whole thing about how yes, it is obvious that I am obsessed with the cobalt version of this watch. But you know what? For once I am MORE obsessed with this “rose smoke” color, which reminds me of a watch that Audrey Hepburn wore in How to Steal a … Read More about Coffee Break: Orchard Enamel Watch
Coffee Break: Gold & Crystal Barricade Babe Earrings
If your taste runs more edgy than classic, Ssense has some great sales going on right now on accessories, bags, and clothes. I like these small “barricade” post earrings from Tom Binns — they seem like an interesting take on a trend I’ve noticed for small, skinny post earrings. (Only one of the earrings is … Read More about Coffee Break: Gold & Crystal Barricade Babe Earrings
Coffee Break: Lovely In Lace Chemise
Amazon is offering semi-annual savings (up to 70% off) on panties, bras, lingerie, and shapewear — including my personal favorite brand of not-too-sexy-but-pretty-and-washable PJs, Midnight by Carole Hochman. (As I believe one of the commenters said recently: Dorky name, but good product.) I like this pretty blue chemise with lace details, marked from $72 down … Read More about Coffee Break: Lovely In Lace Chemise
Coffee Break: Wanda Wedges
Oooh: it looks like Belle by Sigerson Morrison has a number of cute walkable wedges, many of them on sale right now. For basics you have this simple taupe wedge, pictured here — I love the cutout and the closed toe; they also come in black. There are also very limited sizes of a textured … Read More about Coffee Break: Wanda Wedges
Thursday’s TPS Report: Floral Jacquard Pencil Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This week’s guest posts are from Auntie M — welcome back! There is so much of me that wants to not like this skirt. Maybe the flowers are too precious or unprofessional, and the gold thread too gaudy, and what … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Floral Jacquard Pencil Skirt

Coffee Break: Kate Spade Umbrella
I recently saw this kind of umbrella referred to as Her Majesty’s Umbrella, and I’m loving this fun, hot pink take on it from Kate Spade (nearly sold out everywhere else it’s available). It looks functional but also like a great way to elevate your mood on a rainy, gray day. The umbrella is $38 … Read More about Coffee Break: Kate Spade Umbrella
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Satin-Waist Sheath Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Wine isn’t a very “springy” color, I know, but this dress is so unique that I had to post it — the satin-waist inset, mixed with the sleeved, V-necked ponte, looks great (and 36″ long should be fine on most women). Very … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Satin-Waist Sheath Dress
Thursday’s TPS Report: Pleated Crepe Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Commenters were eyeing this dress a while ago, and it’s been on my mind ever since — love the structured neckline and, of course, the three different colors of blue it’s available in. It’s also nice that it’s available in … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Pleated Crepe Dress
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Anabell Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’ve liked this dress since I first saw it at full price — the texture, the sleeves, the cool hem, combined with the great fit and flare shape — but now that it’s 50% off it’s even better. It’s available … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Anabell Dress
