Steve I can highly recommend using a fashion stylist. I met a wondeful lady who's become my fashion stylist and trust me: it works wonders! Susan did her homework on my shape, dressing styles preferences, colours, accesories etc and so forth. She put pieces aside at a store over a few days and I arrived at 4 pm and left an hour later after a thorough but effective session with the whole winter wardobe sorted. I has brought in skirts and pants etc that she had deemed succesfull to complement. It was brilliant as I don't have time to shop around with working 7 days a week.
Also: sometimes we think we know how to do it, but in the end of the day we frump up or make a booboo. A fashion stylist will tell you what works and why and it saves you TONS of time. It's money well spent I reckon and ultimately yuo don't throw money away on pieces that you end up not wearing because they turned out wrong
