[quote=Anonymous]I agree with some of the posters above that being able to mix and match with suiting/blazers/jackets is a way to avoid the ingénue-in-a-plain-black-suit look.  I would look for simple conservative shapes and add interest with color and texture.

That said, I think you can (1) start with a couple suits, but perhaps buy with an eye to pieces that can be worn well as separates as well as together.  A wool suit with a bit of texture - https://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/suiting/Novelty/PRDOVR~E4387/E4387.jsp (I wouldn't do a cropped pant - just chose J Crew, since you mentioned it, as a place to find an example of this).  Or a tweed suit - https://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/blazers/novelty/PRDOVR~E1168/E1168.jsp.

Then, (2) add a couple simple sheath wool dresses, I'd stick mostly to solid colors or subtle patterns/tweeds.  You can deconstruct the suits to wear the jackets over the dresses, and perhaps (3) buy a novelty blazer or two as well.  If you have these categories of pieces, and some decent shells/shirts & pants/skirts already in your closet, you should have a start.[/quote]
