Are you that corporate boss lady who is always on the run juggling between hectic work schedules and home life (if there is any time left for it, that is )? This lifestyle has become more common than you think and no matter how much once glorifies the word, ‘busy’, it is  never too healthy to be able to not spend sometime on self care and TLC. And looking put together day in and day out from 9am to 8pm is not an easy task. Here are some ways to  make your work wardrobe practical yet polished without burning a hole in the pocket.

1. Crisp White Shirt

The first one may be as cliched as it may sound but never ignore a crisp white shirt  . It is the most important piece of clothing in any working woman’s wardrobe. If a signature white shirt is just not meant for you then invest in a piece with some dainty laces or ruffles to give it an interesting upgrade and make you stand out. Fold your sleeves neatly a little below the elbows and team it up with wine coloured tailored pants or the classic navy blue and voila! This look is super fresh and is even perfect for those post lunch internal meeting days. So go ahead and invest in a unique dainty looking white shirt today.
