Journal 7

I had not really put much stock into how I dressed as long as I was clean, presentable, and always had a pleasing disposition.  Being in this class has taught me that Dressing for success is accomplished by wearing clothes that accent your shape, skin tone, and eye color.  Having the basics is a must.  That includes suits, slacks, and skirts in the colors of black, brown, grey, and navy.  Jeans are supposed to be in a dark wash and all pants should have the legs that go straight down and not tapered.  Being fashionable yet not flashy is easily done if you find out what styles go along with your body type.

Dressing professionally does make people look at you differently.  I have learned that people tend to take you more seriously and listen more intently to what you have to say when you look a certain way.
