Wardrobe Essentials for Working Women

To borrow words from one of the greatest designers of the 19th century,Christian Dior: “There is no such thing as an ugly woman – there are only the ones that do not know how to make themselves attractive.”

Making oneself attractive is all about managing your personal assets and liabilities, ensuring that when you face the world it’s the best possible face you put forward.

Style is how you package these assets and liabilities. It encompasses more than just one’s physical features (your face and body), it speaks to the way in which you carry yourself and your body language, the clothing you put on your body and the attention you pay to personal grooming…

But most importantly it speaks to the way you feel about yourself; nothing defines style like an air of self-assuredness; it’s the most essential item in your wardrobe!

Whilst the most essential item in your wardrobe is your attitude, every working woman should have in her possession the 5 following investment items:

This holds true about every women no matter what her job or age, or how rich or poor she may be – every woman should have clothing that makes her feel confident and professional and stylish!)

1. A dark, well fitting trouser suit

The pieces can, and should, be worn separately. These are investment pieces where the jacket is tailored to fit and every detail is perfect for your shape.

2. A pencil skirt

An A-line skirt is also acceptable, if it is more flattering for your shape.

3. A crisp shirt

Clean, ironed and in a fabric that flatters the bust (cotton poplin with lots of stretch), a shirt will never go out of fashion and can be dressed up or down.

4. Wide leg trousers

These are an absolute staple – a pair of wide leg, floppy trousers is comfortable, can be dressed up or down and can be worn with a normal top/shirt or with a tunic dress over.

5. A wrap dress

Diane von Furstenberg launched the classic wrap dress in the 1970s and it has been a fashion phenomenon and an immediate classic ever since.

So with a bit of confidence, a bit of personal flair and a few investment pieces in your wardrobe – you will be dressed for the success that you deserve to achieve!

So you want to know the secrets to success? Well, don’t we all! Whether you consider being successful as being a millionaire or simply being a good person, chances are you want the answers to fall in your lap. There is of course a different secret of success for every person, but some of them reign true across the board. Some secrets are just flexible or generic enough to fit a wide demographic of people. So, we are here to reveal the top three secrets of success that can fit just about anyone. Drum roll please…

Secret of Success #3: Confidence

One of the biggest secrets of success lies in having self confidence. If you’re proud of yourself, you’ll be able to push yourself to keep succeeding. Confidence leads to willingness and willingness leads to accomplishment. This amazing cycle can last as long as you’d like it to. The more you succeed, the more confident you’ll become. That’s why confidence is one of the secrets to success, because it is its own catalyst, making you and your life better every second. Keep up your self esteem and you’re guaranteed to go places.

Secret of Success #2: Perseverance

You can’t achieve anything if you don’t have the drive to do so; that’s why perseverance is one of the biggest secrets of success. You have to constantly push yourself to be better, and you can’t give up when something doesn’t go your way. Being successful takes hard work, and you can’t expect for this process to be a walk in the park. What would the accomplishment be in that? Learn to stay focused and keep pushing yourself to do more and be better. All of the secrets to success will then start to reveal themselves.

Secret of Success #1: You!

This may sound a little cheesy, but you really are the key to your own success. Accepting responsibility for your own life and doing what it takes to change it is one of the best secrets of success you can ever master. No one can tell you how to succeed. They can guide you, support you and comfort you when you fall, but only you can fulfill your goals and change your life for the better. Find your own secrets to success and surpass any goals you may have. Be even better than you think possible. Be better than the best you can be. Good luck.
