So my workplace just adopted a stricter dress code. It's kind of business-casualish: no jeans or denim at all, no tees (although so far they seem to be flexible about this one) and no shorts or camis. My style is very rock & roll, urban/street cool, and a little vintage, and I hate feeling like I have to give that up to meet code. Any suggestions for what I could wear? I usually don't like too much color (my wardrobe is probably 70% black or grey) or prints, but I like leopard print and some sparkly things. Also, I can wear heels, but my job requires me to be on my feet 8+ hours so it's not ideal. :)

Maybe try black leggings with fancy nice boots & a white collared button up?

Target & Marshall's have good, well priced, cute business attire. buy staple pieces and add in a few patterned, colorful pieces so you can make many outfits with the same. clothes. black & gray pants, different color button ups, a few blazers, scarves. good luck!!
