Instead of the ordinary skirt-shirt, skirt-jacket combination, a snappy work dress is an option.

Dresses boast the advantage of being a terrific figure shaper, especially when paired with a corseted or girded waist. Matched with the perfect accessories, a simple dress can be dynamite. The resulting silhouette is likely to add a rise in self-image as well.
