Know the Code: Work Wardrobe Dos and Don'ts

Do dress up to move up

Think of "business casual" as a test. You're standing in front of the fashion buffet with an array of choices spread out before you. No sneeze guard is going to protect you here. 

Can you choose a balanced office-appropriate look? Or will you indulge your inner Jersey Shore persona and blow your chance at that promotion?
