Business dressing for the young graduate
You've now left university and got your first real job with a great company. Or you are returning to the work place after a period of absence. Your clothes will say a lot about you. Getting it right is very important. Skinny jeans, converse trainers, baggy jumpers, midi tops now set a side for the weekend. Now its time to face the world as a business professional.
As you look into your wardrobe, panic strikes across your face. The contents do not resemble office wear. Then your eyes are drawn to the your reflection in the mirror. Yikes, time for a trip to the hairdresser. A good haircut is just as important as what you put on your body.
It's true that dressing a certain way is important in business as it ensures that we look professional and helps us to conduct ourselves in the correct manner. Your manager and colleagues will respect you. If you are in a client facing role even more important that you are well presented. First impressions are lasting impressions, and you don't get a second chance to make an impression.
Most importantly dress for your body shape and personality. Don't be swayed by the glossy magazines, as often they do not reflect you as a person. Too tight or ill fitting clothes will give the wrong impression. Spending endless amounts on clothes for work is also something that you shouldn't even consider. A smart person knows when to shop and where to get those bargains. Looking professional on a lemonade budget can be achieved.
Cant forget the make-up. Lashing of thick foundation and eyeshadow should be left for a night out. Fresh looking face with a hint of make is very important as your outfit. A recent survey by carried out by beauty site www.escentual.com, more than two thirds of British bosses said they would be less likely to employ a female applicant if she didn't wear makeup to the interview

Julie, the weekend girl
My sister Julie surprised me yesterday with a brand new hair cut. In fact she had chopped it all off and left about an inch. She is the inspiration for this blog. With a drastic new hairstyle it's time to let go of old habits and go a bit wild with her new image. Like me she stands tall, proud and absolutely FABULOUS. Living in Paris she has that sexy French accent and this collection is just her personality, sophisticated but fun.
Many tall women are uncomfortable with their height, often not wanting to stand out but being tall you cannot hide. Its time to find to start living, love your height and find clothes that suit your proportions, personality and your image. Don't be afraid to experiment and try different items. This collection maybe out of your budget but shop around and you can similar items within your budget.
Want to be that woman who looks amazing even at the weekend and doesn't hide in sweats, has a style that people are always complimenting? Let me help

Biker chic style
Coach black purse

I love glamour and fell in love with the biker chic look. Just keeps my mind buzzing as one day I will get my Harley Davidson bike. My friends think I am crazy.
The biker chic style can be worn with skirt and high heels or with leather trousers or even jeans. Just decide what suits your mood. No need for a Harley Davidson either but if you have one its a bonus.
This season the shops are full with biker inspired styles for all price points and all body shapes. The most important thing when rocking the bike chic style is that you do it with effortless style.

Sexy high heels

Victor Chu started the Legwork school in NYC in 2006, to give one-on-one walking sessions to dancers, models and other women seeking balance in their lives. But he says he saw a demand for group classes, and launched them at the Stepping Out Studio this summer, at a time when women are most likely to experiment with the craziest shoe styles.
“Ninety-five percent of women don’t know how to walk in high heels,” Chu says. “Women think heels are sexy because men think they’re sexy. But you see women wear this pained expression and shuffle. I’ve seen guys giggle at them — it’s not sexy. Bottom line is, you need to be fit to walk in heels with stability.”
Are you struggling to walk in your high heels?
Have you ever wondered how stars like Beyoncé, Kim
Kardashian and Tina Turner can rock a high heels for hours? They are very rarely seen
without a 4inch heel. We all marvel how
they can move so easily and for a long period of time. Imelda Marcos, the
ultimate queen of shoes allegedly had 3000 pairs of shoes.
Shoes are now like diamonds, the cost the earth and make women
feel so special. Designers like Jimmy
Choo are crafting such exquisite shoes that they take your breath away. Handbags used to be the number one best seller
but shoes have taken over. They can make
you look and feel a million dollars with the right outfit. I am always pinning shoes to my Pintrest account.
Selfridges in London has an entire floor dedicated to shoes. Some of the most drop dead sexy shoes can be found there. But have you noticed that shoes are getting higher? Many resembling sky-scrappers just like the Burj Khalifa in Dubai or The Shard in London the higher the better.

Long gone are the days where high heels were only worn to
posh functions. Now you see women going to work or walking around the shopping
mall in sky-scrappers. Unfortunately many women I see just don’t know how to
walk in them. They see shoes, buy them
without thinking do they suit me or even will I be able to walk in them and I
just don’t mean walking up and down in the shop when trying them on.
A friend in New York told me about a man called in Victor Chu affectionately known as the ‘Stiletto Whisperer’ who teaches women
how to strut their stuff. He is the man to go to if you want to look good walking in high heels. Victor Chu, runs the
hour long class, a group workshop that teaches women how to navigate the tricky
terrain of Gotham, is the first of its kind, says instructor Victor Chu. For
$50 at the Legwork school, a pupil will learn how to master uneven sidewalks,
surprise subway grates and cobblestones that send stiletto-clad
ladies flying.

I recall seeing a lady walking in her high heels like she
has just got off a horse and walking on glass. What a painful sight. People just stood by watching in amazement
this young lady struggling to walk in her heels. There is a secret to wearing high heels.
“Ninety-five percent of women don’t know how to walk in high heels,” Chu says. “Women think heels are sexy because men think they’re sexy. But you see women wear this pained expression and shuffle. I’ve seen guys giggle at them — it’s not sexy. Bottom line is, you need to be fit to walk in heels with stability.”
Standing 6ft in stocking feet I love high heels, 4inch the
minimum and don’t care what people say to me. Yes, I have had people say to me ‘why
do you wear high heels, you’re tall enough’. Clothes look better worn with high heels.
As a Stylist I have the eye and knowledge to help you
understand the type of shoes you should wear and what really suits you. Having
that pained look on your face because your shoes are hurting your feet isn’t the
best look and certainly not stylish.
Want to be that woman who looks amazing in their shoes, knows how to
walk and has a style that people are always complimenting? Let me help
you and you'll find out the secret.

How do you dress for work?

You can't afford to make mistakes with your business attire. When ever I go for business meetings, including board meetings, attend business functions I always make sure that I am dressed for business. Dressing for business is so important and cannot be overlooked. Its about making the a good first impression that is lasting. Clothing is an overlooked component in many women’s professional life.
People need to take you seriously, dirty clothes and ill fitting clothes are a sign that you don't care about yourself. If you don't care about you, clients will think you don't care about them.
I struggle to understand why women do not invest in themselves. Many make excuses that they cannot afford it or there is nothing wrong with what they are wear. How you dress can have an impact on who does business with you. People are put off by sloppy dressing. They are sizing you up and sizing you down, appearance and clothing are so important. You may talk a good talk but if your clothes let you down you wont seal that deal.
Does it fit right?
We all know to avoid too tight or too skimpy. If your clothing is overly revealing, you'll get attention for the wrong reason and not for your ideas or sealing that deal. Alas some women didn't get that memo. Nothing is worse than clothes that are too tight or too skimpy. You are in the office not at a party.
Trendy or Timeless
A wise invest in to by timeless pieces. The on trend bag or coat is ok to wear. While it’s important to avoid looking too trendy, this shouldn’t translate into wearing dowdy clothes. You earning a salary so you should invest in pieces that will last. A good tailor can transform a suit to something more modern. Remember Timeless doesn't mean because you've had it for 20 years its still modern. Time to buy new office clothes.
Dressing for the weekend …during the week
Many companies have a relaxed dress code. some say business dress. This does not mean you can turn up in the office with creased clothes, an old tracksuit or stains on your clothing. It really means don’t interpret business casual as dressing for a Saturday afternoon. Look at what your colleagues are wearing. Some companies have a dress code, this should be in the staff handbook or in your contract of employment. If you are still not sure speak to your Human Resources department to understand what the dress code is.
Customer facing jobs
As tempting as it is to wear your Saturday afternoon attire, think what impression you are giving the customer about the company you work for. Even if your colleagues like to dress drab and have no care in how they present themselves, take pride in yourself. Have a jacket in the office, as you don't know when you maybe called to help a client or even go to the clients office. Be prepared for the unexpected.
