Friday’s TPS Report: Drapey Grid Print Tee

09/19/2014 by Kat

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Happy Friday! I’m really liking this teal grid print shirt from The Limited (also available in blue, black, and red, and also available as a camisole or long-sleeved top in tall and petite sizes). The wide grid pattern strikes me as an interesting twist on a classic, and I think the teal is flattering. The t-shirt is $39.95 full price, available in sizes XS-XL.

Psst: Here’s a plus-size top with a striking pattern.

Thursday’s TPS Report: Plum Dome Jacket

09/18/2014 by Kat

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

I don’t know why I keep coming back to this plum jacket from Dorothy Perkins, but something about it really speaks to me. I love that dark plum color, the fact that it’s machine washable, and — hey — that it’s only $59. I’d wear it with blue, purple, black, and even with some of the dark green that’s everywhere this season. It’s $59 at Dorothy Perkins (available in sizes 6-18, although some are starting to sell out). Dorothy Perkins Plum Dome Jacket

Psst: Here’s a washable open-front jacket in plum that’s available in plus sizes.

Suit of the Week: The Limited

09/17/2014 by Kat

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.

It seems like I just sang the praises of the Limited’s new Collection collection (and particularly the sheath dress) — but I was excited to see all of the pieces (and more) available in this lovely wine-colored hue. I think this looks like a great nonbasic suit to add to your closet — wear it with cobalt, gray, black, navy, white, even a pop of bright red or bright orange for contrast. There are so many pieces — and all of them are 40% off with code FALLNOW. Pictured below: the jacket (Collection Flap Pocket Jacket) is $158, but comes to $94.80, and the sheath dress (Collection Sheath Dress) is $98 but comes to $59. Next, the Collection Lexie Flare Pants were $79.95, but now come to $39.90. Next, they have an online exclusive Colorblock Sheath Dress that is $98 but comes to $59. Finally, the Collection Tuxedo Vest was $70 but comes to $42, and the Collection Drew Bootcut Pants come all the way down to $39.90. (How do we feel about vests as suiting separates, ladies?) Not pictured: the skirt (Collection Inset Pencil Skirt) is $59.90, but comes to $34.90. All are available in regular, petite, and tall sizes.

Psst: here’s a plus-size suit option (which also comes in misses sizes).

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Sunburst Ponte Sheath Dress

09/17/2014 by Kat

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

I’m kind of loving Ivanka Trump’s new clothing line (right? didn’t she used to just do shoes?), and I like the fact that most of the dresses seem to go up to size 16. This sunburst ponte sheath dress looks great for work and beyond, and I like the zipper detail on the front. It’s $134 at Nordstrom (sizes 2-16). Ivanka Trump Sunburst Ponte Sheath Dress

Psst: here’s a plus-size option that has a similar feel. Interested in seeing more plus-size content from Corporette? Sign up for the newsletter, here.

Kate Spade is having a surprise sale today, with prices up to 75% off. There are a ton of great totes for work (as well as work dresses and jewelry) so I thought I’d round up a few of my favorites:

Workwear Hall of Fame: Margot Pump

09/15/2014 by Kat

Everyone knows that I love a good purple pump — but I’m not a huge fan of Nine West, normally. Still, this shade of purple is SO right (and the shoe SO highly rated — and available in a zillion different colorways!) that even I would give it a shot. They’re $79 at Zappos (and as low as $39 in some colors at 6pm). Nine West Margot Pump

2017 Update: We’re adding this heel to our Workwear Hall of Fame — it’s been highly rated for years and comes in a zillion colors. It’s available at Nordstrom, Zappos, and Amazon.
