Dress Me
What would you wear I'd you had to give a 2 hour presentation in your place of employment's board meeting?
Silly I know, but I'm not a confident dresser when it comes to stuff like this.
Edit to add: PIP welcome.
Re: Dress Me
I always think blazer = I know what I'm doing.
I'll see if I can dig up some pictures. You usually do skirts for work, right? What would the men wear?

3-4 days I wear a skirt... I was thinking some kind of pencil skirt or dress.

I have that skirt in green, it's fantastically comfy. It'd be a great option in black
With a shirt like one of these:

And this blazer:

professional dress or pencil skirt with blazer. I personally would probably wear slacks, but since you wear skirts most often, you should be in what you are most comfortable in.
I know it's boring, but no bright-bright colors or distracting patterns. Think black, white, gray, pastels, or dark colors - maroon, deep purple or navy.
Keep the jewelry simple too.
Brit oh Brit...
Nobody rocks a pencil skirt like you do. We all know this (and silently curse you, but I digress). You always look awesome. I agree -- your normal with a blazer would be perfect.

Bumpies = Don't get me started!
I know who I get my health advice from!
What are you looking at?
I agree. Pencil skirt and a blazer screams professional to me. I do like a little colour though and think you can look very put together and professional without just wearing a black suit.
ETA: Check out some of the outfits on this blog http://veronabrit.blogspot.com/. She loves her black, but has lots of good "work" outfits.
This exactly... you rock a pencil skirt... go for it... black or grey skirt/blazer with maybe a pink or color pop (not red or anything too crazy) to add a little color w/o going too crazy like Cole said. You'll look good in a burlap sack girl...
Aww, thanks girls for the compliments and the help!
I don't actually own a blazer but in line with the suggestions, here's two options:
Still no PIP but I could click on the link and through the pics. I vote belted cardigan (#2).
ETA: haha, now the link is gone so no one knows what I'm talking about. I love the belted cardi one, even though it's a brighter color. It's just an extra step up from the button down (which is still ADORABLE). I think paired with the black it will be great for a board meeting.
Yay! I can PIP from my iPad now!
Oh, sorry it's huge and I'm headless.
That's my pick too, but M like the button down with the skirt and belt better. *shrugs* eh, he's a boy so he only get half a vote.

I also like both. To me the button down dress shirt is a bit more "businessy".
