DRESS CODES 101: For Self-Employed Women

December 20, 2017 No Comments

Congratulations! You’re self employed. No more dress codes. You get to wear whatever you want!

BE CAREFUL!!!

As women entrepreneurs working in a highly complex and competitive society, you must recognize and understand the impact of your appearance as it communicates first to you and then to others.

What you wear and the way you look affects:

the way you think,
the way you feel,
the way you act or behave, and then
the way others react or respond to you.

A couple of years ago, I was invited to a Cinco de Mayo party at a private home. I didn’t see the invitation (I was somebody’s “plus one”).

I was anticipating margaritas, some tacos, and chips with salsa.

I wore my favorite faded jeans and a casual top. I threw on a “fancy shmancy” statement necklace, just because, I’m random like that. It was my version of Mexican Chic 🙂

BUT! I was mortified when I arrived at the house party and discovered it wasn’t just a casual get-together with tacos and tequila…

It was a FULL BLOWN business networking event with vendors,

a Chef in the Kitchen preparing fresh seafood (tacos) and a

Bar with Bubbly Bartenders serving specialty drinks!

I was NOT at the proper DRESS CODE level.

I was embarrassed for myself (and the woman that invited me). I felt irrelevant, insecure and inferior.

I wanted to crawl inside my jumbo “jalapeno margarita”… and die.

That night I promised myself I would never, ever, be below dress code level again!

Can you relate?

Here are FOUR Types of DRESS CODES to help you avoid a dress code disaster and dress appropriate for the occasion:

FOUR Types of DRESS CODES

Casual. Pull out your favorite jeans! You can opt for a comfortable tee or dress things up with a stylish top, jewelry or even a blazer. Footwear – Can range from sneakers to heels to boots.
Business Casual. Dress pants or khakis with a fashionable top is appropriate. A casual skirt is also an option. Feel free to dress up your outfit with heels, jewelry and/or accessories. Hair and Makeup everyday style.
Business. Wear a business suit or a business style dress with heels (high or low). Tip: Stick to business colors: black, navy blue, gray or brown. (Knowing your best business color is vital so you don’t look tired, old or sick)
Smart Casual. Smart Casual (or dressy casual) is basically a combination of casual, business casual, and business dress codes, where you can combine them into a “smart” ensemble. It’s safest to go with nice slacks or a skirt, though you could also wear a nice pair of dark jeans dressed up with a collared or otherwise dressy top. Throw on a blazer for an extra touch of class. For Smart Casual, you should look sharp, stylish and neatly put together.

I’ve come a long way since my dress code disaster – As for me, I believe blazers are the answer for all occasions!

I challenge you to become more aware of how your clothing and grooming affect the way you think, the way you feel, the way you act, and the way others react to you.

Make the power of personal appearance work for you!

You are NOT meant to work with everybody! Networking Guide (eBook)

November 14, 2017 No Comments

Maybe it’s time to give up and get a “real job”.

That was my first thought when I got home after a thirty minute drive from yet another speaking engagement with no book sales and no emails for my list.

I was about to text my mentor and tell her “I Suck. I Quit.” when all of sudden, I realized what I did wrong.

I spent half a day speaking to a group of people who were NOT my target market. Fail.

It reminded me of when I used to go to networking events (before I created my personal brand), and wasted time, energy and money; because I was

prospecting everybody with a pulse and a pocketbook,
sharing my products and opportunity with everybody within a 3 foot radius;
and collecting business cards from everybody.

This is NOT how to grow your business or your brand.

You are NOT meant to work with everybody!

3 Hacks to Help You Snatch the Perfect Handbag

October 10, 2017 No Comments

Women get more pleasure from buying a handbag than any other item, a survey has revealed.

Handbags are the accessory that we use the MOST and they NEED to go with every outfit so there is a lot of satisfaction in finding the PERFECT bag.

Three Hacks to Help You Snatch the Perfect Handbag

Match your handbag to your hair. It’s impossible to have your bag match every outfit you own, but you always have your hair with you – so match your handbag with your hair!
Wear the right size for your frame. If your frame is small, wear a small bag. If your frame is medium, wear a medium bag. If your frame is large, wear a large bag.
Carry your bag correctly. Your bag should hang at your waist. If you have large hips, don’t let your bag lay on the side of your hips. If you have a large bust, tuck your bag behind you.

BONUS! Your bag should REFLECT your Personal Style.

(Fringe is on trend!)

For many women, handbags are the most EXPENSIVE items on our shopping list. Using the three hacks above will ENSURE that you are making a wise investment. $ $ $

Your HANDBAG is only ONE of your accessories.

Closet Confessions: 3 Key Points for Taking Control of Your Closet

October 7, 2017 No Comments

Show me your closet & I’ll tell you four things about YOU!

Did you know that your garbage man and your mailman can tell what type of family lives at your house based on your garbage and your mail?

Is your recycle bin full of empty beer bottles and pizza boxes? Diapers or Depends? Mail box filled with over due bills or fashion magazines?

You get the picture. It’s the same thing with your closet. It’s a reflection of who you are. *

CLOSET OVERSTUFFED but NOTHING TO WEAR?

Most people only wear 20 percent of their wardrobe. Why?

Fads.

Yep, chasing fads, making random purchases without a lot of forethought or planning and then nothing to wear on Monday morning.

They have a closet full of fads but they don’t really feel comfortable in any of them.

They haven’t successfully identified their Signature Look, so instead they fill their closet with the latest fashions – but still end up wearing the same 2-3 outfits each week.

Is this YOU? (It used to be me)

Here are Three Key Points to consider when clothes shopping:

Only buy clothes that are your COLOR; so you LOOK radiant and refreshed not washed out and exhausted.
Only buy clothes that fit your BODY TYPE; so you FEEL comfortable and look confident.
Only buy clothes that are your PERSONAL STYLE; so you are best expressing your personality.

I ENCOURAGE you to take control of your closet and implement these KEY points to ensure that you LOOK your BEST.

Three Ways to Strengthen Your Brand With Your Style

October 1, 2017 No Comments

Every day you make the decision to get out of bed, get dressed and step outside. So fortunately, every day you have the opportunity to strengthen your brand.

Did you know that your clothes are the most powerful non-verbal tool that you have?

That means that your clothes are your power tools and your closet is like your tool box.

Style is “self expression”

Style is how you speak to the world without words. It’s how you visually present your inner self.

Being stylish is about embracing your individuality and radiating that spirit in your work, relationships, and everywhere else.

Creating your own personal brand can increase your self-confidence and your connection with others, heightening your presence and ultimately leading to personal and professional success.

Here are three ways to use beauty and fashion as tools of self-expression to create your own personal brand.

1. Do your hair.

Your hair is your crowning glory. Your most important accessory. Pick a style that reflects your personality, complements your face shape and your body frame.

2. Makeup your face.

Makeup enhances your natural beauty. You don’t need to wear a full face of makeup (unless you want to) but a little mascara makes your eyes look captivating + the right color lipstick will boost your mood and make your eyes sparkle.

3. Put some thought into your outfit.

Think three pieces. A top, a bottom and a cover piece (i.e., jacket, cardigan, vest) – it’s that third element that bumps up your outfit to the next level and truly expresses your personal brand.

I want to encourage you to put your best self together (do your hair, makeup your face, and put some thought into your outfit).

IMAGINE how you would feel if you had a wardrobe that excited you and made you shine?

When you walk into a room I want you to feel self-assured and comfortable about how you look, because your clothes accurately support and express who you are.

When you feel good about the way you look, you do better, you sparkle and people take notice.

You already have style – it may just need a little guidance.

(VIDEO) Biggest Makeup Mistakes Women Over 40 Make

June 30, 2017 No Comments

After 40, Lipstick and Foundation are your Best Friends – Be Careful not to get into trouble with them though.

HERE ARE THE TWO BIGGEST MISTAKES I see women over 40 make when it comes to Makeup:

The first one is, they wear way too much foundation. They cover their entire face like frosting on an angel food cake. This isn’t necessary and it ages you.

Pro Tip: I recommend a little foundation on a brush, and apply it in the center of your face – that’s where most discoloration is.

The second mistake is that they apply a dark lip color. As we age our lips shrink and get thinner (Even Mick Jagger will have smaller lips someday!) Dark colors on your lips will make them look even thinner.

Pro Tip: I recommend that you use lighter colors on your lips to give the illusion of fuller lips.

How to Plan Your Weekly Wardrobe in 5 Minutes

February 10, 2017 No Comments

Do you ever plan your outfits in advance? Or do you stand in front of your full closet, every morning, and say: “Help me, Jesus! I have nothing to wear!”?

If you want to wake up every morning feeling relaxed, confident and inspired, then you need an outfit planning process.

Here is a fast and easy way to plan your power outfits for the week. (It only takes 5 minutes of your Sunday night.)

Decide on a color palette (2 to 4 colors) and choose seven pieces.

Choose 3 tops, 3 bottoms and a coordinating cover piece (i.e, cardigan, vest, blazer)

All the tops should match all the bottoms but all the tops don’t have to match each other.

Monday wear Top #1 with Bottom #1 (with the cover piece)

Tuesday wear Top #2 with Bottom #2

Wednesday wear Top #3 with Bottom #3 (with the cover piece)

Thursday wear Top #1 with Bottom #2

Friday wear Top #2 with Bottom #1

Saturday wear Top #3 with Bottom #2

Sunday wear Top #1 with Bottom #3 (with the cover piece)

There are actually 18 wildly unique outfits possible with those seven pieces. It’s called a capsule wardrobe.

Now your morning rush is less stressful and you will be dressed to impress! Have fun creating your success through your personal style!
