AUTHENTIC MESSAGE

“You are not a page out of Vogue.”

Unknown author

Do you know who you are?! What you stand for and how you expect to be treated?! If you don’t?! it’s really going to be hard to build an image that really works for you and furthers your goals.

Build a wardrobe out of basic and classic pieces with a timeless appeal then spice things up with a few pieces that can be edited out later.You will have the makings of a wardrobe that will take you to wherever you want to go for years to come.Make a list of goals in different areas of your life.Try to come up with at least three for example;

1) Find a job making at least $80,000 per year.

2) Have a More romantic relationship with my husband.

3) Be more authoritative, but fun mum.

You get the idea, right?!Now write down a few words that can describe traits necessary to achieve the same goals. once you have an idea of the message you want to send, building an image to support that will be much easier.For instance, a high-paying job will require that you send forth a message of competence, dependability and leadership. One of the greatest tools at your disposal will be a matched suit with additional pieces that will allow you to mix and match.A jacket is always a sign of authority and a matched suit is the height of professionalism. It is what the person in charge wears.

In a formal work environment,use darker fabrics, with small or no pattern and straight or angular lines are in the details and tailoring.This look says loudly,”I am in charge and i know what i am doing and I am worth every penny i am paid.”Match this outfit with impeccable manners and confident body language and you will be seen by all as someone who is competent and confident.

Now a romantic look will use opposite cues, like softer, more playful colors, pattern and tend to be floral or have other feminine themes and softer fabrics and curved lines such as fuffles or flounces.Does this sound too soft for you?! Never fear!. Even the most assertive woman can wear a beautifully draped silk blouse and a string of Pearls with a light colored suit and look every bit of the seductive woman.

Know yourself, know your massage and the battle is halfway WON!!This is only the beginning of the many messages we want to send via our image.Now if this post has been of great help, kindly leave a like or a comment.Cheers!!
