Motivational Whisperers

Your clients will judge you quickly by your appearance.  A decision about your abilities, capabilities and effectiveness are determined initially by what you wear before you say a word




Like it or not we are judged by the way we look.  On your way to the top don’t allow these fashion faux pas to hinder your climb to the top, they include:

1.  Wearing The Wrong Colors:  All skin tones are not created equal.  The lime green or hot pink that you say on the runways may look fabulous on the models, but horrible on you.  Experiment with different colors and stick with the palettes that look best on you, regardless of what’s current.  Don’t waste your money on clothes that make you look pale, sallow, jaundiced, or washed out.

2.  Wearing Too Small a Size:  If it doesn’t fit, don’t wear it.  Squeezing into a size 8 may feed your vanity, but it will make you appear overfed to everyone else.  Shop by FIT, not by size.  If you can’t sit down or feel as trussed up as a turkey, you’re not going to feel your best.  Why put yourself through that kind of torture?  Find clothes that fit or have them tailored to fit and stack the cards in your favor.

3.  Inappropriate Makeup:  Light for days, heavier for evening, sheer for sports or other strenuous pursuits.  You wear different clothes for different activities in your life; your makeup should change as well.  And if you’re still doing Cleopatra eyes, it’s time to turn the page and see what’s happening THIS century in makeup style.

4. Wearing The Wrong Color of Hose:  You’ll look taller and trimmer by matching the color of your hose to your shoes and your hem.  Wearing a black skirt and shoes?  Opt for sheer black hose.  Have a bright blue dress and taupe shoes?  Go for the taupe-colored hose.  What?  You only wear black hose because they hide things you don’t want people to see?  Well, guess what:  unless your whole outfit’s black, your CALLING ATTENTION to your legs.  If that’s not what you want, it’s time to rethink your plan.

5.  Rundown Shoes:  You look great…from the ankles up.  If your shoes have seen better days, find a good shoe repair shop and put them in for some TLC.  Polish them regularly.  Use a felt tip maker on scuffs, and put a piece or soft carpet under your feet when you drive.  And most importantly, invest in a good pair if you’re going to wear them every day.  Don’t buy them at the 5 and Dime and then wonder why they don’t last.

6.  Broken Nails, Chipped Polish:  Keep your nails clean and evenly trimmed.  To make repairs quickly, have clippers and a nail file in your purse and desk at work.  Paint over chips or remove all polish.  If you’re in a business environment stick with conservative nail polish colors at work and save the sparkly/neon/funky looks for weekends and vacations.  Dragon-lady lengths are never appropriate for business.

7.  Slip That Show: Unfortunately, one length does NOT fit all.  Buy slips in several lengths and replace them once the elastic wears.  For the most discreet linings, buy slips in the colors you wear most often, like black, navy, beige, and white.  You want to mute the sheerness of your garment-not all attention to the color of your slip.

8.  Underarm Stains: First, buy deodorant that work with your body.  You may have to try a few to find the best one for you, and you may need to change every now and again if your chemistry changes, like after having a baby, starting a new medication, going through menopause, or the like. If you perspire heavily or need a surefire method to prevent stains, consider using dress shields.

9.  Visible Bra Lines: Make sure your bra fits properly.  If it rides up in back, slips off shoulder, or lets your breasts sag instead of offering support, them it’s time to seek professional help.  You can usually find trained fitters in the lingerie departments of better department stores.  Call around for an appointment.

10.  Roots: Hair color can do wonderful things for you, but it can also be hard on the budget.  If you can’t afford the regular maintenance required by allover color, consider getting highlights instead.  And whatever you do, make sure your hair color matches your skin tone.
