Office essentials to dress for success:
Suits: Blue, Black and Grey are great suits to start out with
Blazers: neutrals are the way to go, and avoid ostentatious fabrics (no velvet, please) that aren't suited to professional environments.
Pants: Opt for a couple of dark pairs - black or charcoal are great - and at least a pair of khakis for spring and summer wear.
Shirts: Are essential, go with a white shirt.
Sweaters: Vests aren't bulky, so they fit well beneath a suit jacket; look for neutral or dark shades that suit professional environments.

Pictures..
Jewelry
Jewelry can really play up an outfit!
But too much jewelry can be distracting, and you don't want that when your meeting new clients.
Earrings that accent the face, such as simple studs or hoop earrings. You don't want to wear anything that are too flashy, save that for the night out on the town.
You want to wear rings that are modest, if your married wearing your wedding band is okay. You don't want anything to gaudy.
Same goes for necklaces, wearing a necklace that could get caught in the desk drawer when you bend down to open it is probably something you don't want to risk happening.
Watches, well I love watches and I love the real fancy ones, but sometimes they can be too distracting. Wearing a watch that has some diamonds is okay :)

Socks!
Who would have thought that socks are important?? well they are important to wear with shoes, who wouldn't..ewww... anyway I mean choosing a pair that match! I know my socks never match! oops.
Men generally are not too picky when picking their wardrobe, they don't have to be! I think they look good with a tshirt and a pair of jeans. But in the office lets be a little more causious in choosing what we wear, especially socks! We don't want a black and brown sock..really?

Perfumes..
When it comes to the office wearing perfume could be a no no especially if its overpowering!
Some offices don't allow perfume worn in the office because some people may have allergies.
But if you are like me, I have to wear something! Even if its just lotion, smelling good gives you a kind of confidence!

Where to buy nice work clothes on a budget
We all know that spending a lot of money on just work clothes just isn't in the budget, but we all need to look professional in the office. Lucky for us there are some stores that help people who are on a budget.
TJMaxx carries discounted name brand clothes that department stores couldnt sell, from button down blouses to blazers, and not just for women. They sell men clothes too.
Go to a goodwill store in a nicer part of town, rich people tend to get rid of nice clothes to the goodwill. The chances of finding good quality clothes are pretty high.
