Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
We’re lusting after these lovely blue leather flats (with suede insets) from Sigerson Morrison today. We’d wear them with pretty much anything, but particularly gray slacks and a yellow or green blouse. Now $165 at Zappos (they were $299). Belle by Sigerson Morrison – 5736 (Blue Suede) – Footwear

Great find!

07/15/2009 at 12:23 pmI think these are cute. They look like the type of shoes that might look better on the foot — not much “rack” appeal, but good in real life. They are from Sigerson Morrison, which is a good brand, and in my experience good brands wear much better than similar shoes from cheaper designers. Just my two cents — I think these are definitely worth trying on.

07/15/2009 at 2:55 pmRe: suede in general. I have a pair of green suede flats, but I’ve designated them as fall/winter shoes because I though the material was not spring/summer enough. Is this not the case? (They’re so comfy I’d wear them all year long if I thought I could!)
