Image Tips
Take the Blink Test...
Everyone should make an investment in a full-length mirror.
Each day, take a moment to stand in front of your full length
mirror totally dressed, including your handbag or brief case, etc.
Close your eyes tightly for the count of "five", then open them.
What do you see first?
If you see your "whole image" with an attractive focal point, you
are well dressed. If something is out of sync with what you are
wearing, it will "scream" at you. The problem will be the first
thing you see.
- Always check the backs of your shoes
to be sure the heels are not scuffed or tattered. The same
goes for your handbag, briefcase, wallet, belt. Leathers do show
wear. Now available in many shoe departments are "polished
leather express shine sponges" which you can carry with you for
quick fixes.
- Shoulder-strap handbags should not
end at the widest part of your body if you are trying to
camouflage that area. If they do, then take them to your
local cobbler and had the straps shortened.
- In past years, it was a rule that your
handbag should match your shoes, but now the style allows your
bag to be in a different color as long as it coordinates with your
outfit. In this case, you would want your shoes to match the
bottom part of your outfit and then a different colored bag could
be an accent. Be careful not to get too many colors involved
in this mix.
- Watch those neckties...Neckties
should neither be above the belt line nor below the belt line.
- Always check in a mirror to be sure that
you are wearing an appropriate shoe for the length of your
slacks.
- Purge your handbag, briefcase and
wallet finding a new home for anything that is causing bulges.
This can be a daily task which would only take a few minutes or it
could be a weekly ritual which could take about 10-15 minutes.
- Remember to keep perfumes, colognes
and after shave scents to a minimum as less can be best.
And...remember that perfumes and colognes will smell differently
on different individuals so find one that is subtle on your
body...your signature scent.
