Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Monday! I’m digging this simple black dress from Donna Karan New York. As always, I’m particularly fond of the details — the red and white contrast trim at the cuffs and hem. The bones of the dress look great … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Contrast Lined Dress
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Halogen(R) Knit Bow Top
Love the ruched sleeves, the deepish V, and the fact that it’s a knit instead of a blouse.
Splurge Tuesday’s TPS Report: Striped One-Button Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Tuesday! I am absolutely loving the wide stripes and the high button on this Giorgio Armani jacket. The interplay of the stripes is fascinating to me — the vertical stripes (of the arms, the shoulders, and just behind the … Read More about Splurge Tuesday’s TPS Report: Striped One-Button Jacket
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Painted Cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I always like a cardigan for a casual day, and I love this creamy Leifsdottir cardigan with an ombre artsy pattern on it. I’d wear it as a layering piece with an otherwise boring outfit — say, a navy pencil … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Painted Cardigan
Thursday’s TPS Report: Long Sleeve Ruffle Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. ShopBop has a ton of great sales going on, including this silk ruffled blouse. This strikes me as a classic — yes it’ll be in sometimes (like right now with ruffles) and out sometimes (I’m sure at least one commenter … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Long Sleeve Ruffle Blouse
Coffee Break: Circa Joan & David Marietta
Reader A wrote in to tip us off to this lovely heel, noting that it’s the “most comfortable summer work heel I’ve had in a while.” Nice! We like the look of the woven leather, as well as the slight point to the toe. The ivory is on sale at Zappos for $83.76, while the … Read More about Coffee Break: Circa Joan & David Marietta
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Milly Jacquard Chain Cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We’re loving this simple navy cardigan with chain details along the cuffs and lapels. It strikes us as relaxed but still buttoned up, in a preppy (but not too preppy) way. We like that there’s a hook closure, as well … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Milly Jacquard Chain Cardigan
Coffee Break: Neptune Avenue Stevie
This strikes us as a great, very fresh-looking canvas bag from Kate Spade — the floral design is beautiful, and the open top would allow you to shove a folder or notepad or two in there. It’s $295 at Zappos.com. Kate Spade – Neptune Avenue Stevie (Bluebell) (L-2)
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Whip It Silk Top
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Reader P writes in to recommend this silk top from Nanette Lepore, which, she notes, “works in so many ways and perfect on an hour-glass figure.” We like it also (particularly the combo of silk and stud detailing), but the … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Whip It Silk Top
Coffee Break: Foster Necklace
We’re loving this cool pendant necklace from Amy DiGregorio — the bone ring (1″ in diameter) is hip and interesting, but could be right at home with a buttoned blouse. It would stand out the most against dark skin, and be a statement piece — we also like it with pale skin, though, because it … Read More about Coffee Break: Foster Necklace
Coffee Break: 1 Layer Twist Ring
We like this simple twist ring from Nervous System. We like that it’s flexible (not prohibitive to typing), and, honestly, that it’s kind of weird — inexpensive jewelry should always be something a little off the beaten track. We like that it’s almost a cocktail ring in size, but without the distracting bling. It’s available … Read More about Coffee Break: 1 Layer Twist Ring
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Snap Front Blazer Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We are loving this white blazer, despite it being the depths of winter. We like the tailoring of it, the fact that it’s made of bamboo jersey, organic cotton, and spandex (comfy and eco-friendly), and the way it bears no … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Snap Front Blazer Jacket
