brown is a great alternative too. get creative with the colors you mix with it.
a few years ago, JC Penny used to carry good mix and match pieces for women.....jackets, pants, short and long skirts, etc. they were pretty reasonable. i think they still carry them. i always like to have a few signature pieces....like a really cute skirt or top that everyone ohhs and ahhhs over. other than those, i try to keep it pretty simple and get colors that will match with other pieces i already have.
try not to buy lots of shoes. i've been buying a few more than in the past, but only b/c i'm making a little more money. keep it simple....heels and/or flats in black, brown and whatever other basics you may need.
