Dress to impress, it does not matter of employment level or career. There is someone always watching you above.

Your style, fabric, and color will speak levels of your ability to do your job.  If you are worried about your job or career, then you should be worried about your attire.   Therefore, the more distracting a piece of jewelry or clothing is, the less appropriate it is in the work place.

More guide lines into looking great as a professional:

• Color plays a big part in professional image. Traditional career colors include red (aggressive), navy (trustworthy), gray (conservative) and black (chic). Most of these colors work well in pantsuits, skirts and shoes and mix back with softer feminine colors that are appropriate like ice blue, lilac, soft pink and ivory. Loud colors like hot pink and wild prints are much riskier in the office, but some creative types can still pull them off.
• Jewelry that jingles (chandelier earrings, stacks of bangles) is distracting. Opt for stud earrings or single bracelets.

• Slouchy handbags look sloppy. Choose structured styles that project an organized image.

I hope these tips can get you on the right track.
