4. Shoes:

     Having a variety of shoes is one way of assuring your work wardrobe is never boring. There are so many different styles, and colors to pick from. Rather than just a basic heel, consider trying a pair of pointed slides, printed loafers, or a chunkier block heel. Once you find a few pairs of shoes that are both comfortable and fashionable, you can wear them with several different outfits, having a variety of looks to pull off.
