Dress For Success - Getting Ready.............. by Shinor(m): 2:57pm On Feb 23, 2013
“Your appearance, attitude and confidence define you as a person.” -Lori Myers

PERSONAL APPEARANCE
If you desire to be relevant in life and be a success in all you do, you have to make a conscious decision to develop yourself. You must invest in yourself considerably. This investment however does not necessarily have to be solely monetary. But It will certainly demand other resources such as your time and energy. It will also require you to make lots of personal sacrifices.
The road to the top is often laced with numerous challenges and it is your ability to navigate these challenges successfully that will determine your outcome in life. In this race, you can never be over prepared. Once you create a picture of your destination, employ everything you can muster to achieve your goal.
Even mundane things such as personal hygiene cannot be overemphasized. It is often said that you get only one chance to make an impression. If this is true then you don’t want to let bad breath or foul body odour be stumbling blocks.
Take personal hygiene seriously. Some people have been known to miss opportunities for personal advancement because they had personal hygiene issues. Do the same with your dress style. It’s an important opportunity to convey a positive message especially for the first time.
Your appearance also says a lot about your confidence. Don’t forget people are always looking for confident people to help them. Boost your self confidence. Dress well. Look great.
A lot of people erroneously believe that to dress well must cost a lot of money but nothing could be farther from the truth. Looking smart does not have to be expensive. All that you require to look good is that your clothes are ironed. That you hair is neat and tidy and that your shoes are polished. No matter how much your jacket costs, if it is full of creases and while your hair at the same time resembles a forest, there are chances that you won’t be taken seriously.
Make an effort with your personal appearance. This is what people use most of the time to decide whether or not they will grant you an audience. They will treat you with more respect, take you more seriously, and find you more attractive.
Don’t flaunt the opportunity.
Get ready on your journey to greatness and don’t allow anything stand in your way!

TOP TIPS FOR DRESSING FOR SUCCESS
1. Be aware of fashion , but never a slave to it
2. Invest in quality - It looks, feels and lasts better.
3. Think versatility - when buying new items make sure they will work with what you already have.
4. Be aware of too many bright colours
5. Think of your shoes - ensure they go with the rest of the outfit
6. Think of the finishing touches- hair, nails etc.
