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:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A crisp white buttoned-down shirt.<\/li><li>A pair of black or navy trousers.<\/li><li>A tailored black or navy blazer.<\/li><li>A Black or navy pencil skirt.<\/li><li>A professional blouse or camisole (without lace).<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A good quality, neutral-coloured sweater.<\/li><li>A professional dress (not too tight) ending just above or below the knee.<\/li><li>An everyday good quality T-shirt.<\/li><li>A black, navy or nude high heels (no diamant\u00e9 or studs).<\/li><li>Accessories.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The best thing about shopping for your corporate wardrobe is that it&#8217;s an investment!
