Tuesday’s TPS Report: Ribbon Cardigan & Tank

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Michael Simon – Ribbon Cardigan & TankWe're not quite sure why, but this one has eluded us — we first saw it in the Neiman Marcus catalog a while ago, and then couldn't find on the website, and even now, searching for “Michael Simon” does not bring this sucker up. Anyway:  We really like this cotton and cashmere sweater, which has those rare qualities of being sophisticated, playful, colorful, and black all at the same time. We like the ribbons; we like the basketweave — and we particularly like the fact that it comes in petites as well as women's sizes. We can only find a link to it on the website in women's sizes, but one can order it through the catalog:  items 12a-12f in the WBT10 catalog. The cardigan was $180, now $120 ($130 for women's); the shell was $90, now $60 ($65 for women's).

  1. I had an easter basket as a kid with the same weave! Would be great to wear to a child’s playdate, but I don’t have any children.

  3. This is cute and fun. Not sure if I would wear it myself, I would definitely have to try it on first. I like it overall.

  7. While I see the appeal, it reminds me too much of those potholders I used to “weave” with loops on a plastic “loom” when I was a kid.

    1. I recommend their more refined-looking pumps – equally comfortable, minus some of the frump. That being said, if you wear them with pants people probably won’t notice.

    2. Oh, I do like them! But I admit, they are not the most sophisticated shoe. I would wear them under pants for days that I am not trying to impress anyone. I would also keep them for casual wear… hmm actually, I am thinking about buying them myself now lol. They do look mad comfy.

        1. Thanks. I actually just bought them this morning (but I found them for $59). Would you consider them basic black pumps like you might wear for an interview? Or is the detailing a little too obvious for that?

      4. Love these. I have the gray version with black and teal accents, and I adore them. They actually give a great pop to a variety of outfits, and they are extremely comfortable given the height of the heel. The first day I wore them, I had to run – literally – to court, and they didn’t kill my feet at all.

    4. I just got them! Use coupon code NATLOVE to save 10%. Thank you for posting the link.

  17. Very “housewife”. Looks like something from long ago. Not a good idea for office or boardroom.

  18. Yikes!! Wouldn’t buy it for $10 on a clearance rack, let alone pay $180 for it.

    The ribbon trim reminds me of my easter basket when I was a kid.

  19. Aww, it’s cute. Totally appropriate for Easter Sunday church services. Maybe on Friday with a solid color shell in one of the basket weave colors?

  22. Wow, that sweater set is tragic. I’m pretty sure my grade school librarian wore something similar.
