Embrace the conservative
Stick to more traditional colors and styles when selecting your shirt. For better or worse, you don't want your potential employer only remembering what you were (or weren't) wearing.
Mix but always match
Hosiery are the obvious companion for a skirt. But socks will do the trick if wearing pants. Just make sure the color of the socks and pants go together. That means passing over your piles of white socks if your pants are black.
