February 2010 Fashion Advice, Style And Career Tips

Featured Fashion Question

Dear Cathie,
I’m a 30 year old female who is in the sales field. I need to look professional, but not to the point of wearing suits. (I am not a huge fan of the dress or skirt either.) I have a limited budget (about $500 for the year) and I have NO fashion sense. Any advice would help! Thank you.

You can build a work wardrobe over time. Below are some tips for getting started:

1) First make a list of the “perfect work wardrobe.”
2) Then go through your closet and see what items you have on your list that fit and are in good condition.
3) Make a list of what you need the most.
4) Then add the pieces you need when you can afford them (staying within your budget). Look at sales and /or consignment shops to find things that are reasonably priced.

 Spend the most of your budget on good fitting shoes, a leather handbag and jacket. Once you get your perfect wardrobe together add more of the same basics and go for better quality items that last. Stick with one basic color like black and then everything you purchase should go with that color. Read More...
