Even if these looks aren't for you here's a few tips to live by:
1. The office isn't a club so keep your kids in the playpen and not bouncing around the office.
2. Choose fabrics that are comfortable and and won't wrinkle easy. This will keep your focus on your work, keep you from fidgeting and keep you looking polished all day
3. When you purchase work wear think about all the different ways you can wear it. When purchasing any clothing you want to think about longevity but especially work wear. For instance the dress in the first look. Wear it with hose, a cardigan, a blazer, a button down underneath..the possibilites are endless.
