So enjoy reading. How to dress for success Studies have shown that we pass judgment on new people we meet within the first thirty seconds. So I don't need to tell you this is Not a lot of time to make a good impression. Your communication and the way you present yourself are crucial in formulating that first impression, so you want to make sure you're up to par. If the image you want to project to the world if that of the switched-on savvy, and successful woman, so what should you ware to work? Let's divide in to two extremes-creativve and conservative. At one day of the spectrum you can face each day as if you were going to a fancy dress party. At the other end, there's the more mature, formalized world of "the professionals". For most of us, workware falls somewhere between the two extremes. It's all about authority-call it power, influence and presence-how much of it you have, and how much of it you'd like to have. Here's some pointers to help you dress for success: 1 Dresss Like you Are In Charge if you dress like you're in charge, you'll feel like in charge and in control and others will see you that way. Nothing says, "I'am the one you need to talk to" quicker than a dark, well-cut suit. Note: well-cut does not include a shapeless box with two sleeves and buttons. Remember, therre's a fine line between looking tailored and looking like you're front-desk at a car rental company. 2 Keep It Low Key color is fine for the office, but don't overdo it. Leave colored suits for newsreaders and politicians and save the color for the piecies underrneeth the jacket. Perhaps a twin-set is appropriate in one office, while nothing less than a tailored jacket in another. What you wear and how youwear it will speak volumes about your professionalism. 3 Don't Be A Distraction meer clear of clothes, jewelry and accessories that will cause a distraction. You want the focus to be on you, not what you're wearing. That means jewelry that jangles is a no-no, as are big, chunky accessories like bangles and chandelier earrings. Sexy, slinky little numbers are notgoing to enhance yourprofesssional image, nor are sundresses, sandals and strappy stilettors. Express your personality with a vintage hatpin on your jacket lapel, a beautifull piece of jewelry or a quirky scarf. You can wear a tight top under a well-cut suit and look sexy without looking like a sex bomb. The must-haves includes classic watch, stylish handbag and fashion-accurate shoes. 4 Wear What Looks Good On You today's corporate wear is flexible enough to allow for most body shapes. There are so many beautiful versions of feminine suiting these days so there's no need to look severe or like a member of the boy's club. Choose designs that flatter your figure and colors that flatter yourskin tones. Well-cut trousers in a dark shade suit most body shape and tailored jackets comes in a range of styles to suit apples, pears, string beans or whatever shape you're in. 5 Rememberleave Home Without Checking a professional image is as much about the details as as it is about the overall image. Never leave home without checking for runs in your house, ensure your nails are manicured, yourhair is n3eat and yourshoes are clean and scuff-free. Dress For Succcess Pointers: Many companies are refashioning their dress codes and encouraging their staff to promote a successful, professional image by adopting a corporate wardrobe. If your company doesn't have a specific dress code, one of the best clues is to look at what your superiors are wearing and dress for the job you want, not the job you have. Dressing for success doesn't mean you have to forego your personal style. Simply remember the all-important fashion rule, no matter what the occasion: you wear the clothes-don't let your clothes to wear you. -- Mukesh Jain email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mobile: 09977165123 "happiness and joy are the wealth of prosperous life" To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.
