In Reply To: If you're looking for pics, you might want to try anntaylor.com or even talbots.com. Some might be a bit older for your taste, but you'll get the idea. Think classic, classy and professional. Always. Color is ok. Micro anything is never ok. Forget these words: sheer, "fitted", fun, flirty. You might start with a few good pieces i.e. slacks, skirt, jacket, blouses -- salespeople at these stores are really tremendously helpful. Get a look at what your boss wears --- not a colleague --- and use as a guide. And go easy on the makeup. Finished, but not trendy. Again, a department store makeover is a really great place to start. And, best of luck!
Message: Good advice.
