If we are still fortunate enough to have a job, it's the work uniform we know and... tolerate?
Well over at About.com, they're offering ideas on how to work that business suit...

Ann Taylor Fall Sale
From J Jill:
J Jill Mid-Season Sale
From TravelSmith:
15th Anniversary Sale
I haven't talked a lot about TravelSmith here on the site, but I intend to do so in the future. They specialize in clothes for travel, but lately they seem to be branching out nicely into business worthy items.
A couple of favs from their new offers:
Women Classic Miracle Fabric Black Dress - $59.00
Hobo Cell Phone and Wallet Bag - $69.00
From Talbots:
Talbots Pants: Buy 1 get 50% off 2nd Pair
From Old Navy:
Fall Fashions Sale
Along with the 10 bucks off a $75 purchase, many of their new Fair Isle sweaters are on sale. Some of my favs:
Fair Isle Turtleneck Sweaters $24.50
Women's Shawl Collar Sweaters - $20.00
Women's Plus Cable Knit Kimono Cardigan - $36.50
Women's Plus Kimono Sleeve Sweaters - $24.99
From what I hear, Old Navy, along with the Gap brands in general, is still struggling. However, I continue to be impressed by the products they offer for the price point. (And I continue to be hacked off at them for only offering their plus size items online! :-p )
So there you go! Don't say I never did nothin' fer ye! ;-)

Over at I Like Her Style!.....
The intrepid Ms. Sylvia is introducing a new custom clothing site....
Introducing AprilMarin…
The line is presently limited to 3 styles, but they are so classic that any woman can make them work in her wardrobe.
Warning - they are all body hugging styles! However, with sizes ranging from 0 - 22 (and ample custom sizing options within those sizes)and prices that are more than reasonable, AprilMarin is starting out right if you ask me!
My fav:
Black Pinstripe Capri Suit - $180.00

Tips for the triangular shaped among us....
Of which I count myself! (And what a pain it is to be two different sizes!)
Over at Wardrobe 911 the wise Ms. Teresa is giving guidance to those of us who's junk in the trunk tends to overpower our top half!
triangle: work wear
I love the suit pictured there - it's a neckline I've never thought of for myself, but am now interested to try. Love her handbag comment too - Yes, Ms. T, please do do a mini workshop on handbags!

More Winners from the Isaac Mizrahi for Target Collection....
Yeah I was in Target - again! - over the weekend (I know, I know, I should be skipping over to Sharebuilder to buy stock!) and saw some of the new pieces from their Mizrahi line.
I have to say I wasn't impressed by most of it, I think he's done better - but these two pieces definitely stood out:
Isaac Mizrahi for Target® 3-Button Pinstripe Jacket $39.99
Isaac Mizrahi for Target® Hepburn Wide-Leg Pants - Blue Bonnet $34.99
I especially like the pants - they really do have the Hepburn trouser look I'm such a sucker for, with the wide leg and cuff.
The fabric feels pretty good - a mid-weight poly / rayon blend that's machine washable (always a plus in my book!). They also come in different lenghts (short, regular and tall) which is as helpful as it is uncommon in women's pants be they high priced or low! Keep in mind, you might have to look twice if you pick these up in the store -- I don't remember if the different lenghts were clearly indicated on the tags. They are clearly defined on the Target website.
I'm not quite as pumped about the jacket -- it might be just a bit too short for some. But the tailoring is pretty good so it will work well with the pants as a business suit option - if it can work with your figure!
The only real down point is that the sizes only go up to a size 18. Bullah! : - p
I can say from my own experience with a pair of denim trousers from his Target line that I was able to wear the size 18 regular -- and I'm one of those women who, in store sizes, tends more towards the plus size than the regular misses!
All in all, a sharp look I think can work for women of a wide range of ages, if not sizes. Pare it with a smokin' bag and a dead on pair of shoes and you've got it made for not a lot of cash!
If you happen to be in Target, check it out!
