Creating an A+ Image in a D- Economy

The Smart Woman's Club event Creating an A+ Image in a D- Economy was loaded with fun, smart women and tips for looking good and professional to make more money, have a better career and be taken seriously. Don't leave out increasing confidence and self esteem.
Here are some tips for your professional image from Suzanne Tongue with Style Capital (www.stylecapital.co.uk).

Clothes should fit immaculately. If you’re curvy, fabrics should lightly follow your curves, not cling or look stiff/boxy.

Think about whether bare legs are appropriate in your corporate culture/for your position.

Clothes should be neat, pressed, clean and repaired.

Sleeveless tops can detract from professionalism – they need to fit perfectly, be of superb quality and have a ‘third’ piece.

Accessories (belts, pens, handbags, watches, eyeglasses, jewelry, even umbrellas) add polish to business casual. So does makeup.

Shoes make or break. Even if casual, keep them polished, clean and beautiful.

No printed T-shirts. Ever!

And finally –do you really want to wear jeans to work?
