What to wear to work? Whatever the environment you work in, you must dress appropriately and of course fashionably. Sometime it can be a tricky decision figuring out what to put on before you head off to an interview or to just another day at the office, so I have put together a few things so you do make any of these fashion faux pas.
When dressing for work make sure you didn’t go over the top with your outfit or accessories.
Also remember that even though suits may not be the sexiest thing a woman can wear, you can still add a little spice to your outfit. If wearing a black suite have a little fun with the shirt under your jacket or with accessories.
Although you can add some flavor to your business attire with some accessories like a belt or earrings, make sure you are careful with how many you select and how flahsy they are. Don’t wear something too distracting so that it’s all someone can look at when they are talking to you.
Makeup is another thing that women deal with on a daily basis. We can all look better with a little makeup, but the key word is little. Especially be careful with eye shadow because you don’t want look like you are about to hit up a night club. On that note make sure your finger nails are presentable. Nothing is worse than seeing somone who has chipped paint spattered on her finger nails.
So for work, let’s keep it conservative but still looking good.
That’s all.

I love the high waisted black skirt with a white blouse (not too plunging)…however I think for 1st interviews you have to go conservative for sure
This summer will be my first time having a business attire type job, so these are definitely good things to know before I start! Thanks
I like the post Detective. I do wonder though about campus jobs. I have an interview coming up and I don’t have a clue what to wear. Because it’s a campus job, I don’t want to show up in a business suit–or do I?

I understand the concern of not wanting to be “over dressed” when trying to win over management. However I would still suggest wearing a suit unless they specify otherwise. Check out the site below which talks about business attire vs. business casual. I think once you have the job you can dress more casual if that is the work environment there but for the interview stick with the suit.

Dressing for work is such a pain… What are some good stores to shop for work attire? I want clothes that are conservative but still fun.
Great point with the accessories. They are always a good way to make the same suit look totally different every time you wear it. I agree with others though that when in doubt, it’s best to go conservative (which doesn’t always mean boring!)
