1. Decide what your style is: classic, feminine, dramatic, natural, creative, elegant, or sexy.
2. Pay attention to details. Hair, nails, proper skin care, and accessories.
3. Find the color palette that compliments your skin tone and that will send the message that you have authority. A dark suit with a white shirt is a powerful combination. Try on different color combinations.
4. Invest in quality fabrics. Such as wool, silk, cotton, and linen.
5. Your garments must fit you perfectly. You’re not a teenager any more. Find a tailor that can adjust your wardrobe as needed.
6. Clean your closet. Do a closet inventory of what is your style. If it doesn’t fit in your new look donate it to a charity. Stop wearing clothes you were wearing 15-20 years ago. Let it go.
7. Believe that your clothing is an investment in yourself and in your profession. Shop at stores like Bloomingdale's, Saks, and Nordstrom's. If you’re on a budget find out when the sales are going on. Discount stores are great for accent pieces not your wardrobe. You get great service and great clothing, when you shop at great places.
8. Know that you are worth the best!
9. Create a shopping list. Stop impulsive shopping. You only really need to shop twice a year.
10. Your personal appearance is your packaging. If your appearance shows that you care, people will recognize this. If you look like a slob, they begin to question your professionalism. It's not trivial to concentrate on your outward appearance. When you carefully select your wardrobe and create your look and personal style, you propel yourself forward by having a unique self brand.
