At Work producer Myriam Levy is treated to a dress for success shopping spree courtesy of Emory Mulling and Re Career Fashion Consignment shop in Buckhead-Atlanta,Ga.

Here she meets with shop owner Judi Gerhardt, for a little fashion consulting. Judi sure knows here stuff! Her story is equally as incredible as her style. Judi is a Hurricane Katrina survivor and started this new business venture after losing her horse farm. Two more hurricanes brushed through, re-arranged her life and caused her to re-open her shop more than once.

Thus re-wiring the name and purpose of her consignment business.

Myriam Levy is seeking a new look for the workplace and while deciding on where to shop

and what to buy, At Work host Valarie Edwards and one of the At Work resident experts, Emory Mulling started a challenge: Buying a good business suit for under $100.

Myriam has unique taste and a fun, quirky look when dressing for the workplace. The id

ea of this makeover is to tune into that quirky style and implement it into a suit.

I think we've found our suit! A perfect, plaid and off white combination. Party on the top and business at the bottom. Check out the brown suede shoes too!
Throw it in the BAG!
Shopping DONE.

Click here for tips on how to truly "get away" with a "staycation"

Schedule start and end dates. Just as you would with a vacation, schedule a beginning and ending for your staycation to make it feel like an official vacation. Otherwise, it runs the risk of feeling like just another string of nights in front of the tube.

Pack that time with activities. Plan a daily activity, and make sure something takes you out of the house — for fun — every day.

Declare a "choratorium." That means no chores! Don't make the bed, vacuum, clean out the closets, pull weeds — nothing. You're on vacation!

Take staycation photos or videos, just as you would if you went away from home for your vacation.
