Choose several skirts and pants in neutral colors. A coordinating jacket can complete the look when you need to be dressier. Solid colors are easier to wear on a regular basis. Always wear pantyhose regardless of the deep tan you've been able to cultivate for your legs. Mules and loafers are also easy solutions.
Scarves can add a whole new look for little cost.
As for jewelry, keep it simple. Add black pumps and a pearl necklace and you can go anywhere with confidence. Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
