[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Think classic, well made, proper fitting  clothing. Ex: Brooks Brothers, Pendleton, Talbots. Invest in some basic pieces that you can build upon.
2. Choose color palettes that look good on you, but as a general rule pick black and/or navy as your basic colors and work off of them. Get a nice black/navy 3 piece suit (jacket, skirt, pants). Add in some silk blend tops and non iron button downs in colors that look nice on you. Don’t go for a lot of colors though. No patterns except maybe one or two here and there.
3. Get a couple of twinsets that you can wear with a black/navy skirt/pants. 
4. Good haircut, smooth, shiny hair regardless of color. 
5. Nice, subtle makeup. Go to a makeup counter for help. 
6. Some good quality, simple pieces of jewelry. Better to
Wear the same pearl earrings everyday and have them look nice than cheap jewelry. 
7. Buy some good shoes and a nice bag. You’re going to have to spend $ here. Don’t skimp. Think Ferragamo.[/quote]

How old are you, OP? This look above might work for some but I feel like it's for 60+ women (with apologies to all the stylish 60+ women I know). This list could have been drafted 30 years ago. Fashion has moved on, even for professional women. I'm a lawyer and I never dress like this. It's hard to advise because we don't know anything about your size, shape, age, profession, and also what you like. [/quote]

I recommend striking the twinsets and the pearls; they are so dated and old lady looking.  High ranking women can be much more edgy these days.  If you watch youtube I think Dominique Sachse is a good example of a stylish powerful woman.  She spends big bucks to look so good though, so be warned![/quote]
