Make a Statement: Power Dresses Under $100
Every woman needs at least one or two power dresses hanging in her armoire. A dress that makes her feel like she could walk into the most important meeting of her life and walk out victorious. These dresses are less bar or nightlife scene, but not quite matronly, either.Think streamlined smocks that hug in all the right places, flatter your coloring and set off your hair. Pair said garment with a set of killer pumps and a confident smile and you'll be ready to conquer the world.
Power dresses are great for the office, for a casual meeting with a big client, for an evening at the symphony or even at a formal holiday party. Choose one in a color that makes your skin glow and flatters your favorite body parts.
Oh, and instead of panty hose, which can date your look, try a nude fishnet. You can also bare some leg skin -- just make sure you shave first and then apply a lotion or body oil. I love Marie Veronique's Rose and Neroli Anti-Aging Body Oil ($36 for 2 oz).
