Having several classic separate pieces in your wardrobe will allow you to mix and match easily. Check to see what you already have and then fill in the gaps as needed. The pieces your basic professional wardrobe should include are:  1 suit, either with a skirt or pair of pants and a jacket 2 pairs of dress slacks in black, dark grey, or tan 1 black pencil skirt (if you like wearing skirts) 2 button-down blouses, in a white, grey, or other workplace appropriate color Several workplace appropriate blouses and sweaters A pair of black dress shoes, such as closed-toed heels or flats Avoid tops that are revealing, tight-fitting, or otherwise inappropriate for the workplace. Make sure that the tops you wear cover your cleavage, waist, and shoulders completely. If you have a cute blouse that has a plunging neckline, don’t worry! You can still wear it. Just save it for a date or other special occasion instead of wearing it to work. Avoid choosing slacks that are too tight, low-cut, or otherwise revealing. Stick with wide-cut and relaxed-fit trousers. Choose skirts that are no shorter than 2 in (5.1 cm) above your knee. Black, grey, navy, and white are classic workplace attire colors. However, you can also opt for plum, burgundy, cream, beige, brown, and dark green. Choose clothing in colors that you like, but keep color to a minimum. It’s best to avoid bright colors, neons, and pastels altogether since these look more casual than dark and neutral tones. You can opt for bold colors on occasion if it’s appropriate for your workplace and the situation, such as on a day when you only need to dress in business casual attire. Some colors even have psychological associations. For example, yellow reflects positivity, blue is relaxing, red indicates assertiveness, and green is the color of empathy.

When you tell your best friend you love her, you want to do as much as you can to make her calm and comfortable. Pick a time and a place where neither of you will have other big emotional stresses to worry about. It's difficult for anyone to make smart decisions about romantic issues when they're already under pressure from something else. A few examples of things that can make for a less-than-great environment to talk about your feelings with her include:  She has something important coming up that she needs to focus on (like a big exam or a role in a play). She has just gotten out of a major relationship (or is still in one — this is a definite no-go). She is going through a difficult period in her life (trouble at work or school, family issues, etc.). An example of a good time and place to bring your feelings up is when you're enjoying a comfortable, casual one-on-one hangout on the weekend. Dropping delicate hints about your intentions is a good way to judge your chances of success without putting your friendship at too much of a risk. If she responds to your gentle flirting lukewarmly or seems to feel uncomfortable, you'll know to back off. See our article on flirting for great step-by-step instructions. A few basic tips you may want to keep in mind can be found below:  Use affectionate body language. Maintain good eye contact and smile. Touch her arm or shoulder when she makes you laugh. Gently tease her for minor slip-ups. For best results, have a good sense of humor about it and make it obvious that you're kidding. Try to one or two weave compliments into the conversation. If you can do it while also gently teasing her, all the better. Keep things lighthearted and don't come on too strong. You may risk tipping your hand too early or even creeping her out. Dating is something you do after you establish a romantic connection with someone — not before. Treating your best friend to a nice candlelit dinner may seem like a nice thing to do, but it can be confusing for her if she doesn't catch on to what you're trying to do (or awkward if she does). Save the presents and formal dinners for later. Your best bet for now is to arrange a much more casual hang-out session. In addition, you'll be spending money (maybe even quite a bit of it) on something that may turn out poorly for you. If you save your money, you can always take someone else on a date if your best friend doesn't have romantic feelings for you. There's almost no way to have this conversation without both of you having strong emotions, so give her the courtesy of a little privacy. You don't have to be completely isolated for this, but it should be someplace comfortable where your conversation won't be overheard and you won't be interrupted.  An example of a good place to have this conversation is a bench in a park far away from other people. You'll be comfortable, it will unlikely for other people to interfere, and, best of all, you'll have a romantic view. Whatever you do, don't make a big public spectacle. Remember that there's a significant chance she'll say "no" — in this case, attracting a crowd will be very embarrassing for both of you. " When you're with your best friend somewhere private and comfortable, you have one final chance to back out. If you're still ready to go through with things, it's time to tell her what's been on your mind. Do your best to stay relaxed while you open up to your friend. Remember — it'll all be over soon, and even if things don't go your way, you'll at least have peace of mind. It's only natural to get some butterflies (and many girls will find a little nervousness cute), but being so nervous that you can barely get your words out will make things a lot harder. See our article on staying calm under stress for more help.
