I've been asked many times about where I shop and how do I know what pieces to put together to make what I have in my closet stylish. Since I work in education, most people feel as if teachers (even teachers themselves) have to look like teachers - you know - with a basic shirt, a smock of some sort, glasses, and a pair of sneakers or flats. While those items are essential for comfort as an educator on one's feet all day, it doesn't mean you can't be fashionable and STILL be a teacher. The same thing applies in other careers. Not everyone wants to be "flashy," with gold, and elaborate attire that draws attention to themselves. However, you can also be conservative but have a few items that when you wear them, you and others around you will take notice. It's all about balance.
