We’ve featured these reader-favorite, comfortable round-toe flats from Børn in a lot of our roundups over the years, including our recent roundup of cute flats for the office, but I don’t think we’ve ever done a Coffee Break just for them. We’re picturing the newer knit version (also available in black and gray), but they … Read More about Workwear Hall of Fame: Julianne Flats
Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Plus-Size Classic Cap-Sleeve Wrap Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m pretty sure we’ve featured this dress from Lark & Ro before in regular sizes — but the plus-size version looks great and is highly rated at Amazon. (Their description says this “new and improved version of [their] best-selling wrap dress” … Read More about Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Plus-Size Classic Cap-Sleeve Wrap Dress
Coffee Break: Eliza Tote Handbag
Oooh: this hobo/tote from Vince Camuto looks kind of great — even if the lovely deep red version the QVC hostess is modeling is sold out. This pleasant gray would be my next choice, I think, although the black is close — but there’s also a mustard-y “ochre” and a light beige option as well. … Read More about Coffee Break: Eliza Tote Handbag
Thursday’s Workwear Report: Plaid Square Neck Sheath Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I am absolutely loving this dark emerald sheath dress from Ann Taylor, in part because it doesn’t seem like an Ann Taylor dress at all. It’s more like the kind of thing I’d find at ModCloth or Unique Vintage and … Read More about Thursday’s Workwear Report: Plaid Square Neck Sheath Dress
Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Mia Ottoman Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m sure we’ve featured Boden’s ottoman dresses before, but this one caught my eye (on a Facebook ad or something) because it’s just so perfect. I love the texture to the pattern, as well as the seams and darts, and … Read More about Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Mia Ottoman Dress
Coffee Break: Polka-Dot Sling-Back Kitten-Heel Pumps
These cute, gray polka-dot shoes from Brooks Brothers’ Red Fleece Collection are kind of everything I want right now. They’re understated and chic, but they still have a little wink of fun — and I like the low 2″ heel. They are $128 and come in sizes 6.5–9.5. Polka-Dot Sling-Back Kitten Heel Pumps If you like polka … Read More about Coffee Break: Polka-Dot Sling-Back Kitten-Heel Pumps
Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Pleat-Front Cotton-Knit Sheath Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This emerald green sheath dress from eShakti is gawgeous, and I really like the pleated waist. I also like it as styled here with the roundneck and the sleeves, but as with all eShakti styles, you can change the neckline … Read More about Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Pleat-Front Cotton-Knit Sheath Dress
Thursday’s Workwear Report: Kelsey Knit Trousers
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Which are your favorite knit trousers for work, ladies? I know there are a lot of votes in the Eileen Fisher crepe pants camp, but I’m curious to hear which other ones are in the running. These pants from Liverpool … Read More about Thursday’s Workwear Report: Kelsey Knit Trousers
Suit of the Week: Norma Kamali
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. Happy Wednesday! … Read More about Suit of the Week: Norma Kamali
Coffee Break: Fabric Defuzzer
A reader recently recommended this fabric defuzzer for ponte dresses and pants as well as sweaters like cashmere, merino, etc., that tend to pill. I have never had one, so I bought it, and I will update this post with my thoughts. For $12.59, it’s great option if you need to defuzz your clothes, and … Read More about Coffee Break: Fabric Defuzzer

Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Happy Friday!

The bag is about clutch size and would great for when you’re going out and want … Read More about Weekend Open Thread
Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Wrap Skirt Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This dress from Loft is $79 full price, but dresses and skirts are currently $25 off. (Note that you won’t see the discount until you add the dress to your cart.) I like the faux wrap detail at the waist, which … Read More about Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Wrap Skirt Dress
