When it comes to style and looking great there are three
categories that women fit into. In the first category are
those women who look great and they know it. They have
put a lot of time and energy into finding the perfect look
and they feel fabulous. In the next category you'll find
women who know they could use a makeover. Of this
group some will actually get a makeover and the others
will never take the time. In the third category are those
who have not really thought about how they look and
are unaware of the impressions they make. These women
are trying to move ahead but their look is stuck in a
previous decade. They wear an outdated hairstyles,
outdated lipstick, outdated eye shadow and outdated
clothing. They have no idea that their image is holding
them back. The third category can be damaging if the person's
aim is to succeed at work, in business or the dating arena.
For example, if you are looking for a new mate and keep
attracting the same type (the type you don't want) then
you can fix that problem by looking at the message your
image is sending. 1. Style: Style can mean several things - how a person looks,
the shape of a garment or a style of clothing such as funky,
faddish, businesslike, casual, formal, etc. To look great
you not only need to know which styles of clothing ( shape
of the garment ) looks best on your body type but how your
style fits into your daily activities. For example, you might like
to dress feminine or funky but those styles will not work well
in all situations. A funky style will work for leisure activities
such as going out with friends but will not work well in a
business situation. A feminine style works well on a romantic
evening but will not help you land a new account. Take some
time to discover your style and how it is working for you. 2. We-ight: Weight and body image is a huge issue with many
women. Some announce that they will not to buy any new
clothes until they have lost a certain number of pounds and
others feel hopeless when it comes to getting to an ideal
we-ight. Insofar as excess weight is responsible for health
problems, it is necessary to be concerned. However, obsessing
about a few pounds or the shape or size of a particular body
part is wasted energy. Start right now to bring out your best
features by wearing styles
that flatter and feel more attractive. If you feel good about
yourself others will notice and you will attract more of what
you want. Stop hiding behind baggy clothes and dark, drab
colors and show the beautiful you. 3. Quality Clothing: Before you spend another cent on another
piece of clothing make sure it looks great on you and is quality.
Two mistakes women make are buying cheap clothing because
they can get more of it and buying an item because it's an
excellent deal. It's not a deal if it isn't perfect and fits your
wardrobe - it's just fattening your closet. This is not to say that
you shouldn't buy clothing that is on sale. If it is an item that fits
into your wardrobe, is the right color, the perfect fit and you
would buy it at regular price then it's a good choice. 4. Wearing Black: Don't get into the habit of buying everything
in black because you think black is slimming. If you do you will
end up with a boring wardrobe and you will have to depend on
your accessories to keep your look alive. If your wardrobe is
mostly black now try bringing in a few light and bright colors.
You can then think of adding different neutrals such as navy
and brown. When you wear brighter colors not only will you
feel better others will view you differently. 5. The Right Fit: There is nothing that will ruin your day
and your look more than wearing ill-fitting clothes and shoes.
Pants that are too tight will make you look larger. Skirts that
are too short will make moving difficult. Jackets, blouses, tops
and sweaters that are took tight look unprofessional. Shoes
that are too high will not only be uncomfortable but will make
walking awkward. Getting the right fit is very important when
you want to stand out from the crowd and have a polished look.
