THE WELCOME CHANNEL: What fashion advice can you offer to the professional woman who wants to update her wardrobe on a fixed budget? What are some essential accessories that you believe can keep a woman looking chic? B. MICHAEL: I think a good black dress in a double-faced wool crepe. A woman also needs a well-tailored chic suit for power meetings, a good handbag and a good pair of classic pumps. My favorite jewelry item is a strand of pearls.
