Favorite office clothes


Re-examining favorite sources for work clothes inspiration...it is fun to make myself some cute work-appropriate dresses of nice wools and things, and I've been looking around at images I've saved and at new sources for cute work clothes.  Here are some of my faves, collected over the past year or so--so most of them aren't current):

J.Crew (this one's recent and I have plans to make it already...):
(I'm going to use this McCall's pattern):

Anthropologie dresses, for a slightly funkier look:
Don't remember:
My Theresa:
Lulu's, I think:
Mad Men:
BurdaStyle:
ModCloth:

Anthro skirts:
Hm... I think I'm going to need a grey skirt with black piping.

I have some great patterns to start with, too!  Mostly Simplicity (some of these I have, some of them I plan to buy next time JoAnn's has them for $0.99):
 

Tell me--what do you wear to work in an office?  Do you wear things you've made, or keep it to store-bought pieces?  All offices are different, but how can you mix being fun and fashionable with looking professional?
