That would depend on the type of event honestly because professional attire really does vary.
A good standard for women is slacks or a skirt and a fitted blouse/buttong up shirt. But that truly depends on the state and the company, in phoenix sleaveless shirts are more accepted in the business area because of the heat0 -
It depends on the event, if it's "business casual" and the weather is nice, I would wear a pencil skirt & a nice blouse. If it's cool outside or raining/ than I'd wear slacks and a cute sweater and a trench coat....but that's for business casual (and everyone has their own definition of business casual) LOL0

i have to dress smartly for school so i just wear a high waisted skirt with tights then a vest or sometimes a shirt (nice floaty blouses look cute) with a cardi over the top0

It depends on how professional. There's different degrees of it. What kind of function? That will determine it too. You could probably get a way with black heels, dark gray trousers (think JCPennys), and a tailored shirt (think Man's shirt) and pull your hair up if you have long hair.0

depends on type of event. My old work had a yearly fundraiser event that was a big deal. I had to look professional, while still fitting into the black tie type of event. Id wear comfortable, but nice looking shoes since i knew id be walking and on my feet alot, a skirt and a black v neck shirt that was on the dressy side, make sure my hair looked good but still pulled back in a way to still look fancy but be out of my face, and wear a necklace that came down a little bit since I was wearing a v neck, and wearing matching earrings.
However, if the event was say an office party, or something not as formal; I might wear dress slacks (black is my color of choice; but grey is good too), and a blouse that i didnt have to tuck in (since im fat, no one needs to see my shirt tucked in and my huge stomach bulge lol); i guess they can it a fitted or taylored blouse. This could be any color, black, red, white; etc. Might wear some dressier shoes than normal (i wear alot of sneakers), maybe some black dress shoes or a small heal shoe (depends on event); with a necklace that fits directly around the base of my neck, and maybe some matching earrings, and since its not a real formal event, i could wear my hair in near any style.0 -
not black tie. its more of a meet and greet with a short lecture... im stressing on whether to go cas business or more proffesional but not black tie. see i can do business casual on the causual side or black tie but not the in between...(i must lose weight already so i can go shopping) and i have no nice fitted shirts because i couldnt close the buttons until recently!!! so its pretty much sweaters. im thinking maybe to buy a fitted jacket/blazer kinda thing over a stretch silk tank0

A nice high-waisted pencil skirt and blouse would be perfect. Target has amazing pencil skirts for like $20.0
