What Message is Your Image Sending?
By Sheila Dicks |

Do you look as good as you could? Do you believe people
see you, as the person you really are or are your clothes sending a
different message? Unfortunately you are judged by how you look as soon as
you enter a room and long before you get the chance to show the real you.
Would you like to be seen as smart, elegant, classy, self-confident,
knowledgeable or, common, careless, plain and unnoticeable? The good news is
that you have a choice simply by choosing to dress in a way that looks
appropriate, suits the situation and the image you want to portray.
Knowing how to be a smart dresser does not mean that you
have to look like a super model, be slim, rich or even have great looks. It
does mean that you know yourself, your assets and how to accentuate them.
Knowing and wearing the latest styles and designer labels will not assure
that you will gain an edge in your career nor will it automatically create a
favorable image. Constantly dressing in the latest fashions quite
possibility could create an image of an empty, attention seeking
personality.

Is Your Working Wardrobe Working For You?

This is not an image that will propel you forward in your
career.
Here are a few suggestions to start you in the right
direction:
1. Choose a wardrobe that works for you (your activities)
and suits your personality. Don’t try to be someone else or keep up with the
latest trends. Start by wearing styles that suit you (not fashion models –
everything looks great on them, that’s why they’re models) and accentuate
your assets.
2. Get to know the colors that look great on you. Wearing
the wrong colors (a mistake most women make) will make your skin look
sallow, drab and lines and wrinkles will stand out. Before you purchase an
outfit decide if this is a color that will make you look vibrant or sick.
3. Wear appropriate clothing. While at work dress
professionally which means not wearing tight pants or skirts, low cut tops,
short skirts, stiletto heels, lace or metallic blouses or heaven forbid –
fishnet hose.
4. Casual dress does not mean sloppy or that you have a
license to wear anything you throw together. Even when you dress casually
always look polished and well groomed.
5. The main ingredient in creating a smart image is
attitude. A graceful walk, a soothing voice and pleasant personality are
essential. Those who treat others with respect and respect themselves are on
the way to creating an image that is impeccable.
