Agreed. This is way too open ended of a question.

OP here. Sorry if my use of "high-end" was off putting to some. I was in a hurry. This is actually something important for me to address, career wise. I have been given a big promotion and need to start dressing better. I'm genuinely in search of advice on ways to do so.
To the PP or others, do you have examples of brands that make high quality statement jewelry? Also, what are some good shoe brands to look into at the $150-$250 price point? I have been looking like a hot mess for years, and really need to step it up. Thanks.
To me, "statement jewelry" by default, is NOT "high-end." Subtle, real gold pieces are what I would expect a manager or executive to be wearing. The occasional "statement piece" to complement an outfit is fine, but I feel like there is a ton of tacky jewelry going on these days.

This is me 100% and I disagree with you on the blonde. I am naturally blonde and I do not advocate going blonde unless you are already very light. Shiny dark hair is beautiful and women with dark hair rarely have the coloring to pull of blonde. It can also end up looking very fake and cheap.
Adding to my comment to say that to look, "high end" (kinda gross terminology) you should stay within three shades of your natural color.

Does the blonde advice apply to women of color as well, or should we assume that there's no way we can look in-charge/"high-end"/polished

What are some staples that will help a women look well put together at work? I want to look polished and in charge.
