Dress up a Navy Maxi Skirt A flowy midi or full length skirt is flattering on almost every body type. Tuck your blouse in to show off a little more figure, or wear a short, thicker knit or print untucked for a more hidden look. Both are flattering and work well in the workplace! A white, fitted blouse is a wardrobe staple for any professional woman's closet. Though I am linking both affordable and more "splurge" worthy blouses, I highly recommend making these investment pieces. Buy a size up in a nice brand and have them tailored to fit your body for years worth of wear. A neutral, open cut jacket with a collar will grow with you through the years. I would buy one as a trial piece (under $100) initially, and then upgrade over time to one you will own your whole life. This particular one is highly rated, well cut, and a great budget choice. Statement shoes are an affordable way to dress up classic looks. Snakeskin is cheetah print's older (and slightly classier) sister. Get a cheap pair to try out (like these) and then invest in a pricier pair down the road once you know what style you want to wear long term. This particular pair should last 4 -6 years.
