Somedays, all you really need is a good, classic color palette. And to me, nothing is more classic than red, black, white and grey.
Because of my full-time work schedule, my outfits are usually getting posted about a week after I actually wear them. I write all of my posts on Thursday nights or on the weekend and then schedule them ahead of time. Thus, this is actually what I wore for my first day at my new job last Monday. Red is supposed to be a good color for first days because it communicates authority. I wanted to keep everything polished and professional, and I’m pretty happy with the result.
My favorite work accessories are a nice strand of pearls and a good watch. For now, I just have a basic Target watch, but one day I’d like to buy something a bit nicer. I’m enjoying my new job, although the schedule is a bit difficult to get used to. I have to get up at 5:05 am to be ready to leave by 6:40 am for a 45 minute commute. It’s rough, but I like what I’m doing.

You looked fab, lady. Professional but approachable. The new schedule sounds hellish, though … yikes!
Love this. We all need a classic shirt.
You are right. Stick with the classics so chic. You simply cannot go wrong.
What a great look for a first day at a new job– very professional, but still stylish
I LOVE those shoes– reminds me a little of my beloved stage shoes 
Lovely outfit…white, red and black is one of my fave “classic, can’t go wrong” color combos as well! Hope the commute and early hours are getting a bit easier!
Truly classic. Good luck with those early mornings!
Your outfit posts are a week behind, and loaded at the same time? You are SO CLEVER. No wonder you can keep up with it all!
You look FABULOUS in red.
