For starters, I got this skirt from Old Navy:
High Waist Skirt, $25 (It has a cute exposed zipper in the back- fun!)
I also bought this sweater at the bargain price of $9, although on the website it appears to be quite a bit more than that:
Button-front Cape, $34.99
I also got a cute scoop-neck tee with a satin trim along the neckline. I can't find it on Old Navy's website, so I'll have to take a picture with an outfit at some point to show you. I think it's going to be a versatile top for me because it's long enough to wear untucked, but it also looks good tucked into the new skirt. I have a handful of other basic black tops to incorporate into my black weekend uniform, but I'm also going to keep an eye out for some comfortable, but flattering and stylish black pants as well as some interesting black accessories.
I kind of like these other options, also from Old Navy:
Lace Trim Blouson Top, $26.50
Ruffled Button-Down Blouse, $16.99
Ponte-Knit Trousers, $34.50
Black Crystal Necklace, $12.50
Black Beaded Bracelet, $10.50
Maybe I'll allow myself a smidge of leeway in the accessories department , or at least in the jewelry department. Any thoughts? Do you have a dress code for your job? What does it entail? Leave a comment and tell me all about it!

Our CFO wears ratty old jeans and sweatshirts. Some have holes in them. Anything I could POSSIBLY wear makes me shine compared to that!
Ugh. That stinks. I hate when the people who are supposed to be setting the example do that. At least it makes you look better by comparison. Every cloud has a silver lining, I suppose.
Yeah, he doesn't care how unprofessional it looks. But honestly, I keep my outfits MANY notches above that. Nobody gave me a dress code, so I decided on Business Casual or better. For example, on the rare occasions that I wear jeans, I make sure they are dark wash and I pair them with a jacket and heels to keep the look professional.
