Finishing Touches-Dress for Success
Personal packaging and the art of creating a memorable first impression is greatly enhanced with accessories. You can use accessories to express your individuality and complete your "look." Accessories are the finishing touch and thought and care must be put into selecting the items to compliment your ensemble, your personality and the occasion. Accessories complete the look and make a statement. There are five important considerations when selecting accessories.
Color: would you like to coordinate, contrast or accent your outfit?
Balance: keep your body proportions in mind, the accessories must balance the look
Style: accessories should have the same mood or feeling as the outfit
Texture: smooth fabrics work well with shiny metals, matt fabrics with dull/matt metals
Compatibility: different accessories to complement career, casual and eveningwear looks
Scarves on the shoulder draw attention away from the hips
Pins worn wide on the lapel appear to widen the shoulders and narrow the hips
Handbags do not have to match the shoes but should be complimentary
Hosiery-never darker than your shoes
Buy fewer items of higher quality. The only time it ever hurts to buy good quality is the time you write the check! You are worth it.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
