I used to struggle with work clothes because I had too much but nothing went together. Nice things but none the less, not useful. I recently discovered sheath dresses and I now have one in red, one in black and one in charcoal gray. I also have 2 wrap dresses and 2 skirts, which I pair with one of 3 silky tank tops underneath either a gray or black jacket. I have found sticking with charcoal gray, red, navy blue, purple, hot pink, khaki, true white and denim has made my wardrobe my more flexible. I am leaning away from black because I am noticing it it very harsh on me. With the black dress, I always add a scarft or pin or something to brighten in up. Charcoal gray looks best on me and I have to avoid the lighter grays. I also dress more monotone but with lots of texture. I ended up donating a whole tote worth of clothes that were nice but not workable. It makes my life so much easier in the morning. Oh and I only wear silver, turquoise or my pearl jewelry.
