When it comes to workplace attire, it doesn't always have to be "DRESS-CODE OVERRULES FASHION". There are days when only a sharp shoulder will do, days when you can't bear wear black. Have you ever had those days?
When I worked as a bank-employee a while ago, I realized there's a fine line between "office appropriate" and "boring". You may want to project an air of gravitas, but it's also important to show your personality. I've learned to pick pieces that are what I call "ready-styled" and have one design element that makes them interesting:
A tailored jumpsuit?
A great pair of high heels?
A high-waist?
An unexpected patterned or bright, well-cut piece?
The latest nail-polish colors?

Well, whatever it is, add a piece of your personal style to a restrictive or dictated work palette. It peps it up and gives a nod to who I really am.
