It deserves more…

“There are far better things ahead than we leave behind!”

Black and White is such a great look that I wanted to post a few more shots of the outfit with the pencil skirt.  The shoes by themselves deserve a post, but I thought I would give you a little more info about the outfit in general.

I like to wear a pencil skirt when I feel like a need a power outfit…it somehow makes me feel stronger as a Woman, more confident and able to close deals and accomplish things that need to be done!  We all have that one thing that makes us feel amazing, and I am sure they are all a little different.  What is that one things that when you wear it you look in the mirror and think “Yes, I’m going to get it done today!”

Do you have a special blouse?  Do you wear a power suit?  Or, are you one of those people that no matter what you are wearing you can just take care of business?  This is the ultimate goal…but not always a reality for everyone.

Dressing for success is something that is vital if you want to be taken seriously – whether that is in business, as a volunteer, or in any aspect of your life.

Choosing a specific style is not necessary, however, there are certain pitfalls and things to avoid.

• It is never a good idea to wear clothes that are too tight (not just for business but in any situation).
• Don’t try to dress too young for your age – nothing looks worse than someone wearing something that was designed for a younger person (as much as I love some styles I realize that they are not appropriate for my age!)
• Dress for your audience – in some situations it is better to cover a little more of yourself than others, especially if you are going to be working in an environment with a lot of men!
• Don’t try too hard – focusing too much on what others want to see rather than what you know looks good will result in you not feeling as confident in what you are wearing and that feeling will be apparent when around others.

These are just a few simple tips for dressing for success, sometimes the easy things are the hardest things to consider when choosing yourself an outfit.

Success comes to those who dress for it!
