I'm swapping my basic white blouse for this Topshop Rouleau Button Shirt ($60) — the satin finish and splashy pink hue make it noteworthy.

Every woman should own a classic timepiece that goes with everything. I just bought this Olivia Burton Mother of Pearl Bracelet Watch ($150), and I am so happy with the quality. I'll have it for years to come.

Be bold and layer this Cinq à Sept Rumi Embellished Patch Blazer ($695) over a simple blouse. It shows your creative side while still being work appropriate.

Office attire doesn't need to be boring and stuffy. This River Island Tailored Dress ($103) includes a collar and pinstripe print ideal for work.
