Building a SA wardrobe

What are some essentials for ladies? The cheaper, the better obviously but I want to avoid compromising on quality as much as possible. How many outfits/shoes to shop for? I love more fashion-forward pieces and I'm curious about how to integrate my style in my work wardrobe without being flashy obviously.
