Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Great silk shirts are so hard to find these days, but I’ve had good luck with Vince’s offerings in the past, and this grey floral print is absolutely lovely. If you’re looking for effortless elegance, you’re in the right place.

I would wear this blouse with a navy suit for a killer business formal look or with a flowy skirt for something a little more casual.

The blouse is $468 at Nordstrom and comes in sizes XXS-XL. It also comes in a navy print.

This week’s Amazon Sunday is all about the activities I’m leaning on to keep my girls busy as school winds down and summer begins. Right now, with the weather so beautiful, they love being outside, so I rounded up a mix of toys and games they can play with by the pool, in the backyard, or out in the garden.

For days when it gets too hot, or when they just want to play inside, I love easy activities they can do all on their own. A few finds that get them thinking and creating independently, like tracing boards, sparkly markers, and colorful blocks. It’s a fun mix of outdoor play, creativity, and little learning moments to kick off summer break.

Every summer there ends up being one color that starts to define the season for me, and this year it’s shaping up to be shades of orange. It started showing up in the pieces I kept saving, and now orange has become the common thread running through the resort looks I’m pulling together for the new few months ahead.

There are so many shades to play with across an orange spectrum. Some pieces feel more reminiscent of coral, others tangerine, and some are closer to saffron or rust. That range makes the color feel easier to wear, pairing back to contrasting colors or other variations of the hue with ease. Instead of one loud note, it becomes a whole summer palette, working just as well in a small accessory as it does in the piece you build the whole look around.

Refine your wardrobe with the sophisticated Louche Trousers for Women. Known for their impeccable attention to detail, nostalgic silhouettes, and comfortable, flattering fits, Louche delivers pieces that transition effortlessly from professional office environments to relaxed weekend outings. This collection features breathable linen blends, crisp ticking stripes, and dramatic wide leg cuts that offer a polished “minimal mood” aesthetic. Whether you are looking for a pop of bold color to anchor your everyday basics or an elegant pleated finish to elevate your evening look, these trousers are designed to provide both comfort and timeless, elevated style.

A great summer top might be the hardest-working piece in your closet this time of year. There’s no sweater to layer on top, no coat to finish the look. It has to stand on its own, which means it has to feel special enough to do exactly that.

It’s why a fresh rotation of tops feels like such a priority heading into the season. I think a lot about what’s worth adding to the mix, the kind I can pull on with the shorts, linen pants, and or a breezy skirt.  A scarf print, a tie shoulder, a bit of embroidery, crochet, or raffia trim can make a top feel like the whole outfit, which is exactly the job a great summer top is meant to do.
