– Two great deals at Banana Republic. First, 40% off all pants through 10/5 (in-store only). Second, from 10/16-10/26, if you bring in a sweater or jacket to donate, they'll give you 30% off your entire purchase. [Racked]
– Is being called “nice” a trap or an opportunity? [The Glass Hammer]
– Independent women are supposedly destroying the very fabric of society in Britain. It's being called the Bridget Jones Effect — you know, because she was so independent and self-sufficient. [Daily Mail and The Guardian, via Jezebel]
– US Bankers Magazine recently profiled the top 25 women bankers. You go, ladies! [The Next Women]
– Who is the queen bee of Wall Street: Erin Burnett or Maria Bartiromo? Dum dum dum. [Vanity Fair via Clusterstock]
– Finally: Readers wrote in to us, asking to identify the suit Sarah Palin wore on the debate last night. So far, we've had no luck and haven't seen anyone else get the scoop. We're guessing it's black silk shantung… got a belt… three-quarters sleeves… anyone? Anyone?

I agree its got to be shantung, I actually thought it looked more like evening attire then a business suit proper…

Thank you! We kinda thought it looked like evening attire also. (But hey, you betcha, it was an evening event, doncha know.)

I heard somewhere that it was Oscar de la Renta but how can she afford that?

A lot of female politicians have their suits custom-made. It is easier to get conservative yet fashionable designs, and the fit is perfect from the beginning. Also, it tends to be a lot less expensive, so there is less to explain to constituents.

Word on the street is that Palin’s suit was by Armani.
