21 Must Have Staples For a Professional Wardrobe - Classy Career Girl

21 Must Have Staples For a Professional Wardrobe I always had a hard time figuring out what to wear to work. I worked in corporate consulting for 8 years, and it was male-dominated, so I had to look professional but I didnt want  to distract from my work product. I wanted my outfits to display confidence and show I was highly organized. I gave a lot of client presentations every day, so I had to look my best daily. Note: This proffessional wardrobe may not be for everyones work environment or style, but this worked for me. I wish I had an outfit plan when I first started rather than spending 8 years until I finally felt like I had a good closet to work from. Then, I quit my day job and now work from home in my pajamas but, oh well. I still love dressing up and if I had to go into the office this what I would wear! 21 Must Have Staples For a Professional Wardrobe Blazer   This is the perfect basic piece to dress up any outfit, from dresses to pretty tops.
