Q: Any advice for someone who just landed their first corporate job and will be building a career wardrobe on a limited budget?

A: Glad you asked! Now is the time to understand investment dressing, before you make costly mistakes.

Don't buy too many outfits until you have a handle on the company's dress code and corporate culture. Take your dressing cues from successful senior people who you admire and respect. Always dress for the position you want,not the one you have.

To get started and to make that all important good first impression, try finding a three piece suit -- jacket, pant and skirt -- in a neutral color -- black, navy or taupe. Select a variety of tops and accessories to maximize these pieces. A jacket will give you instant authority, so make sure this is a one of your best choices.
