These work wear selections are representative of what every woman should have in her closet for the fall/winter season. The pieces are stylish and versatile, not to mention timeless. Use the DVF shift dress over a blouse or on its own during any season of the year. Polish off this work wear look with a tailored Alexander McQueen coat during the winter, and save it for next year once spring arrives. Instead of using flashy jewelry for work, try the more subtle yet glam YSL leather drop earrings to help you stand out from the rest of your fellow colleagues. This fun pair of black Miu Miu ankle boots are a necessity for the upcoming cold weather, but can be easily incorporated into a spring/summer outfit. No work day ensemble would be complete without a great bag. The Dior Granville Handstitched Tote is a sophisticated choice for any working woman who needs her arm candy to be both chic and practical. The 'Granville's' grey color is the must-have color for fall, and it's classic enough to become as basic as black itself.

All of the selections we've chosen are expensive, but worthy investments for 2009 and well into the future. Be sure to visit Señora Cartera On A Budget to read up on our budget-friendly work wear choices for fall.
