Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
Most of the most-worn items in my wardrobe are desperately boring, but completely necessary. No one is going to get excited about a basic, black pencil skirt, but gosh, isn’t it reassuring to know that you’ve got a good one stashed in the closet somewhere?
This pull-on ponte skirt from T Tahari would be fantastic for someone putting together a work wardrobe on a budget. Add a pair of black trousers, a few blouses, and a blazer and you’ll be ready to go.
The skirt is $19.97 at Nordstrom Rack and comes in sizes XS–XL. It also comes in a pale pink, navy and “blue nouveau,” as well as a few other prints (and plus sizes!).
