What to Wear- Pretty professional office looks for a petite figure

Stylish and sophisticated business style that's office appropriate for a slim figure...  I would like fashion advice on styles and places to shop for professional looking clothing for a small frame. I am 25 years old and 5'6" tall with a well-proportioned, size 2 hourglass figure that's a tad larger on top. My problem is finding fashionable office appropriate looks in small sizes for my petite figure.

The wedding is at 4:30 reception is at 6:30. It's a rather 'formal' wedding. (Lake Zurich, IL) That's a tricky one. Velvet is most often considered a winter fabric. However, a softer, bare silhouette can go the mile into warmer times, as would a velvet jacket over jeans on a casual chic chilly spring night. Early March is still technically winter, so the appropriateness of the fabric really depends on the weather and the style of the suit. If the wedding is in the south,

Besides a scarf, what else could I wear to pep it up a little? (Woodinville, WA) Get out of the fashion box…. scratch the boring scarf around your neck and start looking chic! The beauty of a well-cut, basic black dress is it's simplicity-- it allows the wearer to shine. That means you need to get the rest of you together.
