Monday
Start the week strong with a classic silhouette. A piece like the Hudson Dress is streamlined but still interesting with the architectural details of the cap sleeves and cutout neckline. Add a statement cuff and structured satchel, and the ensemble works just as well for slaying in a meeting as it does for a one-on-one interview.

Tuesday
Inject a little color into your 9-to-5 wardrobe with the Sullivan Dress. The subdued plum hue combined with the fit-and-flare shape brings a playful, modern take to everyday office attire while still remaining appropriate.

Wednesday
Bring your A game to the boardroom in the Bowery Dress. With edgy leather accents and an exposed back zipper, the piece exudes power. All you need are touches of bold metal hardware in the form of jewelry to bring the don't-mess-with-me vibe.
