It is another Monday morning. You’re standing in front of the closet, wondering what to wear. Lost in a sea of black, gray and navy, nothing is inspiring. You come to the conclusion your work wardrobe is not working for you anymore.

The remedy? Five new items to take your work wardrobe from drab to fab, just in time for spring, according to Diana Gruenig, a Valley fashion expert and owner of Phoenix Personal Shopper, which has a perfect rating on Yelp.

According to Gruenig, here are the five things you need:

The Long Cardigan
Pendant Necklace
The Lab Coat

The Lab Coat

This knee-length tailored jacket is chic, slimming and visually adds a few inches to your height. The lab coat eliminates the need for multiple jackets on a business trip, pairing nicely with a pant, skirt or sheath dress.

The Long Cardigan

A real team player, this thigh-length sweater can be worn with a pant or dress in the office and with jeans on the weekend. Purchased in black, gray, and camel for Fall/Winter and navy and white for Summer it literally goes with almost any ensemble. Combating changing temperatures in offices and airplanes, it is a travel essential.

The Suede Stack Heel Pump

This two-inch pump is a welcome alternative to platform stilettos. Rounded toes are out and pointed toes are in, streamlining the look. Suede molds to the foot, creating a more custom fit than leather, great for those with foot problems.

Pendant Necklace

This jewelry staple is the quickest way to look as if you lost weight with its elongating effect. In fashion, creating as many vertical lines as possible is preferable to looking wider. Pendants give an outfit a focal point and a finishing touch

Statement Purse

A new accessory is a quick way to breathe new life into an older outfit. Pick a classic rectangular shape with interesting details such as stitched trim or modern hardware. If you already have a basic black and a neutral bag you can foray into bright accent colors like orange, red or blue to amp up your outfit.

“It is really very easy to change your status quo look with some new silhouettes, new colors and the right pieces,” Gruenig says. “The infusion of these five items can update existing outfits with minimum effort and expense.”
