Whether you're changing careers, just got your first "real" job out of college or just want to update your wardrobe, it's key to shop smart when you are shopping for clothes for work. You don't want to spend a small fortune, but you also want to dress to impress.
Consider the type of environment you are working in (obviously a financial firm is more conservative than a design firm) and then shop for separates that you can mix and match to build your wardrobe.
The Suit
You should have one great suit in your closet that you can pull out for business meetings, job interviews and other important events. This LeSuit pinstriped suit is a fantastic option and it's on sale for just $99.98 right now at Carson Pirie Scott.
The Blazer
A few blazers in different colors will get you through the work week. This Worthington two-button blazer is only $19.99 at JC Penney and comes in black, taupe, black pinstripe and steel heather grey. This boyfriend jacket is also a great buy at under $50 from New York & Company.
The Skirt
Pick skirts that are knee-length in neutral colors, such as black or grey. This Briggs slimming pencil skirt is a fabulous choice and it's on sale for just $19.99 at Carson Pirie Scott. It has a control panel to keep your tummy flat and bi-stretch fabric for a flattering, comfortable fit.
The Tops
Select conservative blouses to pair with your skirts and trousers. This season, pleats and ruffles are really trendy. However, don't go overboard with too many frills. This Liz Claiborne ruffle-front blouse will work well under your blazer and it's priced at only $21.69 at Carson's. Also consider sweaters: you can mix and match them with your favorite skirts and pants at the office, then pair them with jeans on the weekend. Target is having a $15 sweater sale right now that can't be beat.
The Shoes
You can't go wrong with classic pumps. These black patent leather pumps by Cole Haan are marked down 64% at DSW. Another terrific option are these Lowek pumps in black leather or black suede. They are $30 off right now at ALDO.
To extend your wardrobe, try to find pieces that you can wear for work and on the weekends as well. If you are going to splurge on a specific item, take into account how often you are going to wear it before you buy.

With the troubled economy, it's important to shop smart. For example, if you want to add a handbag or two to your collection this season, you need to consider more than just the price tag. Here are a few helpful hints that will assist you in picking the right handbag.
What Bags Do You Have?
The first thing you need to do when buying any type of clothing or accessories is to take inventory of what you already have. You might already have an everyday leather bag for the office but need a weekend toss-and-go bag. On the other hand, you may have plenty of tiny bags, but need something more roomy. Once you have a general idea of what you are looking for, you can actually begin your search. For a casual bag that can go just about anywhere, pick up a tote. This Kenneth Cole Reaction tote bag is relaxed and sporty with its nylon fabric and canvas trim. It's on sale now at Macy's for only $32.99.
How Much Do You Carry?
Face it: some woman are low maintenance, carrying not much more than a wallet, keys and a cell phone. Others pack their whole makeup drawer in their purse every morning, while still others fill their bag with gadgets, notebooks and other workday essentials. For women on-the-go who need lots of room, pick up a large satchel like this faux-crocodile handbag from Elle Kitano. This gorgeous bag is only $44.99 at Kohl's. With lots of pockets and 18 inches wide, this satchel is sure to keep you organized.
Where Do You Go?
If you rarely go out to fancy parties or special events, there's no need to splurge on a crystal-encrusted clutch. Instead, pick up an affordable yet pretty bag that you can use in the evening but can also make its way into your daytime wardrobe. This snake-embossed clutch is a good bet and it's priced at just $39.99 right now at Banana Republic.
How Much is Your Budget?
Obviously money is a factor. If you already have a few classic bags in neutral colors, I would suggest picking up a few trendy bags on the cheap. Pick colorful purses in bright shades, interesting shapes and funky prints. This patent bag comes in bright blue, burnt orange and bold yellow. It offers a cinched shape and inside is a leopard print lining. This Bagtique patent satchel is half off at Nordstrom. Order it now for only $43.90.
Are You in a Fashion Rut?
If you find yourself stuck in a fashion rut, wearing mostly black, grey and other neutrals, add some pop to your wardrobe with a brightly colored bag. You may not be daring enough to wear a fire engine red dress but you can certainly pick up a bright red bag like this Caelyn bag from Calvin Klein. This small bag has a coated canvas body for a little shine. It's on sale for half price right now at CalvinKlein.com.
