reader question: dressing for work

i had this great reader question come in over the weekend and couldn't wait to get on the internets and see what i could find...

"annie, i love your blog! and i have a question...i need a simple sheath-like (maybe?) dress to wear to clients both conservative and agency-types. do you have one to suggest? or something else i can just throw on, accessorize and run out the door? i need something that looks modern but is versatile and easy."

yes, i do have some suggestions!

below: chic and classic

madewell petal shoulder dress in black ($128), shopmamie.com orange and medallions necklace ($45), corso cosmo fabulous flats in luggage ($99)
