You probably already know what can really score points with the who's who at work. But just in case, here's a list to go by:

Dark, rich-looking wool or flannel skirt and suit jacket, conservatively.
Highly contrasting blouse or scarf (white or light color).
Colorless, sheer stockings.
Closely matching shoes and handbag (or brief case). Shoes shouldn't be too outrageous or too high-heeled, Best bet is a classic pump.
Simple, rich-looking jewelry in moderation of course.
Modest make-up.
Sinply styled hair-no longer than shoulder length.
Clear glasses with frames to match your hair color if you have dark hair. Complimentary darkhued frames-to project greater authority.
