Cost EFFECTIVE Corporate Shopping
These days women play a more significant role in the corporate world and let’s face it, we all love bargain shopping! But in business first impressions last, which makes it risky to go cheap on our wardrobes. Personal shopper Anna went on a little shopping spree at our local Village Mall and put together a few timeless, reasonably priced items to create a stylish and practical corporate wardrobe:
- A crisp white buttoned-down shirt.
- A pair of black or navy trousers.
- A tailored black or navy blazer.
- A Black or navy pencil skirt.
- A professional blouse or camisole (without lace).
- A good quality, neutral-coloured sweater.
- A professional dress (not too tight) ending just above or below the knee.
- An everyday good quality T-shirt.
- A black, navy or nude high heels (no diamanté or studs).
- Accessories.
The best thing about shopping for your corporate wardrobe is that it’s an investment! Save money on the items you can mix and match like blouses and accessories to ensure you can spend a little extra on the essentials: a pair trouser, a skirt, a shirt and shoes.
