Comment on Do You “Make the Cut?” by Liz

Response to Lisa: maybe you don’t like wearing stockings or tights, but in the business world it is equivalent to spelling properly. Wearing no stockings–like “txt-splng”–is appropriate for your private life, not your professional/business life.

I should love a pair of shorts or capri’s that I look good in – I am a pear shape with heavy legs, dreadful knees 5′9″ but possibly a bit overwieght (not excessively so). I find anything above the knees makes my legs look dreadful and capri’s make my legs look short. All the mums on the playground wear them and look fab I’d love to joing them – any suggestions please? Why don’t they suit me?

On an alternative note – I’ve finally acquired a crisp white shirt – bought 2nd from ebay after quite a search – fitted with a formal cuffed sleeve – its nice too

Comment on Never Let Them See You Sweat by Lenore

I used to sweat under my arms and stain my clothes, to my embarrassment. I tried dress shields, but they added another hot layer to my already hot armpits, and I found that I just soaked them and caused rings of wetness at their edges. I do not recommend shields.

Natural fibers and holding my arms a bit away from my body solved my problem. I relaxed and let air circulate, and found that the perspiration evaporated. A miracle! (I think I was holding my arms tightly to my body, trying to hide the perspiration, and thereby making it worse. Who knew?)

I wish some had told me something like this long ago. I was a new mother and breast feeding. I went to an event in a rose coloured gown. I had the meal, and maybe water and maybe wine. The milk began to flow withou my noticing it. Then suddenly the person across from me man/woman/ can’t remember pointed out how damp I was getting. I was horrified went home and stayed home.

It will help point you in the right direction. But when you shop online, you’re still kind of left in the dark.

Comment on 5 Ways Women Hurt Their Business Image by S. Miller

S. Miller — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 17:01:04 +0000

Let me tell you about the office! I work in an office of mostly women and “business attire” is all over the board. The ladies wear everything from shorts, tanks with flip flops to camo-pants and t-shirts. There are a couple of well-endowed gals who regularly show max cleavage and bare arms. Most are clerks. Some are managers. I work right next to and directly report to the CEO, so I feel I need to dress appropriately. My idea of “appropriate” is based on what I’ve learned in Wardrobe Magic. My boss also dresses professional – tailors slacks, polished shoes and shirts with cuff-links. My fashion goal the past two years has not been to get a raise or a promotion, but project an the confident, credible image (along with rock-solid skill set and job performance) that another firm would and could hire me away tomorrow. I want people to see me as a “got it together” kind of person; and “with me things are under control.” So even though I didn’t get a pay raise, per se, I went from working 40+ hours per week to working 25 to 30 hours per week – with NO decrease in salary or benefits! This has supported my ultimate goal of financially contributing to the family while having enough time to actually be an active mom and a wife. And I have my wardrobe (and the skills learned in Wardrobe Magic) to thank for it. BTW – I always wear hose, trouser socks or stockings and closed toe shoes to the office – without exception. Anyone can dress appropriately for one day, but to do it everyday with ease and a sense of style is what seems to really builds an image.
