What to Wear at Work

It used to be so easy to get ready for work. Years ago, suits were the no-brainer way to be dressed appropriately. Then, we went from casual Friday to casual altogether. Now however, casual is not best and job security requires that your wardrobe must be an asset, not a distraction.
The best advice is to figure what style is appropriate for your corporate culture and observe the wardrobe of a manager one level higher than you. Next, you incorporate your style, colors that look good on you, and at the same time, show professionalism, individuality and creativity. That’s a tall order in this economy with all of us trying to stretch a dollar! A helpful suggestion is to visit a Goodwill Store in the best city near you as the donations will reflect the typical residents. Look for brand names like Michael Kors, Calvin Klein and Ann Taylor for basic suit jackets and work dresses.

Eco –Chic Tip: Check out the costume jewelry for a statement necklace or stackable bracelets. You’ll be on trend and still on budget!
