With lay-offs becoming the norm rather than the exception it is necessary to employ every weapon in our arsenal to stay on top. This includes the way that you look in the office, at company functions or even in social situations where you may run into clients. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that if you are mediocre at your job but you look good you won't ever get the ax. I mean, if you are exceptional at your job but you want one more thing to make you the most desirable choice when it comes to reorg decisions.....look good!!
You can take a few really nice pieces and create a professional, stylish wardrobe for work. It isn't necessary to spend a fortune to make sure you look like you are worth a fortune. It is necessary to be up to date. You want to show that you are current, you know what is going on in the world, but you still take your job seriously.
I've worked with lots of clients that aren't interested in they traditional suiting. But, they want to look competent and attractive. We put together jackets, shrugs, interesting tops and pants or skirts that all work together. This makes it easy to get ready in the morning and simply pull something out of the closet without too much thought. The benefit? You get to focus on your business and being your brightest while looking great doing it!!
