Hello-hello and happy Tuesday.
Are you melting? We are, thus our arrival at today’s topic, a peek at some fall styles from Tiffany. Normally we avoid this sort of thing for another few weeks, but the soaring temps have us convinced we need to gaze at things bringing images of cooler days.
Below, several pieces from the retailer’s fall 2012 leather collection.

We don’t want to leave your MOTH (Man Of The House) out of the picture (ahem), below we show the Connor men’s slim tote leather and wool (L) and the Everette men’s messenger satchel (R).

I don’t know about you, but I rather like the men’s black tote on the left for myself. Would that be a fashion no-no?

Our other item today involves another debate about what one wears to the office. The Journal’s “At Work” blog shared results of a new poll about office attire.
A new survey shows U.S. adults expressing more outrage at scantily-clad co-workers this year than they did last year.
72% of Americans believe strapless or backless tops and dresses are “inappropriate for the workplace,” up from 66% (strapless) and 64% (backless) in June of last year.
Earlier this year we chatted about the appropriateness of wearing Lilly to the office, and loved the insight you shared. While not quite the same thing, this topic does fall in the same genre. More from the Journal‘s piece:
Showing a little skin below the knee by wearing shorts, flip-flops or open-toed shoes is also a bigger no-no this year. Fifty-nine percent of respondents say shorts are inappropriate at the office, up from 55% last year. Meanwhile, 76% said flip-flops aren’t appropriate attire, up from 71%, and the percentage that disapproved of open-toed shoes in general increased to 35% from 31%.
It seems folks are becoming more conservative in what they find acceptable in an office environment. Do you think that is a possible backlash against some of the nearly nude increasingly minimal ensembles we have seen over the years, people have become tired of the “barely there” look in a professional environment?
