Business wardrobe meltdown anyone?

Today's post talks about wardrobe malfunctions and how to prepare for them. Isn't that everyone's worst nightmare, well if it's not you should still be prepared. When your appearance screams disaster it's hard for people to take you seriously. Imagine you have an important business meeting and your boss requires you to make a presentation. Do you really want to be up there worrying about if anyone can notice the run in your tights? Of course not! You want to be confident and ready to go!


That's why I decided to bring this post your way today! Being prepared and ready to tackle wardrobe meltdowns so you can carry your day with success.

I'm going to give you some tips on how to prepare wardrobe meltdowns!

• Tights can be prone to getting runs in them, If you plan on wearing your tights spray them with hairspray and hang them to dry the night before.
• If you carry on with your day and notice you have a slight run, carry a bottle of clear nail polish with you. Apply the nail polish onto the desired area.
• A fallen hem can be fixed with double sided tap, duct tape or even masking tape. Just make sure nobody can see the tape. Take one side of the tape and place it on the inside of the hem. Then place the tape onto the part of you skin where you wish the hem to fall.
• Carrying dress tape is handy with you, using it to fix a hem or other clothing mishaps.
• Falling shirt straps? Use dress tape.
• Suffering from static cling? Using hairspray, water or even dryer sheets can stop the static.
• Embarrasing dedorant stains or a stains from lunch, remove them with a dampened washcloth to avoid leaving behind lint which paper towel can cause.
• Avoid picks in your shirts by taking a pin and poking it through the thread back to the front of the shirt.
• Dress for your body. Making sure your wearing fitted clothes can minimize the chance of your clothes getting snagged onto someone.
• Bring extra clothes with you. A back up pair of tights or an extra blazer.

Wave good-bye to bad wardrobe malfunctions, and hello to dressing for your success!

What Not to Wear- Unprofessional Attire

Have you ever put on an outfit before getting ready for work and question if it's the" right outfit"? Today's post will be what to NOT wear to work. Our attire should make us feel comfortable. Feeling good on the outside can enhance our work experience and career. Throwing on the wrong outfit or piece, however may not help you.

Here's a video I found on you-tube which outlines what to avoid for the work place.

Clothing items to avoid at the Workplace:

1. Tank tops with spaghetti straps/short dresses/dresses with spaghetti straps.
2. Anything that cuts to low.
3. Don't be flashy. For example, sequins or big chunky jewellery.
4. Non closed toe shoes. For example, flip-flops or open toe pumps.
5. Jeans. Lighter wash pairs or  distressed denim. 
6. Avoid too many printed tops or even printed bottoms. Stick with solid colours as they appear more professional and are not distracting.

Don't 

Do

How to choose the perfect interview outfit

Interviews can be scary, we all want to make a great impression. What better way than the way we dress!

In this post I wanted to start off sharing some tips to help you choose the perfect outfit to land you that dream job. The interviewer will judge you based on your physical appearance. You want to come of as being a great choice and that means no wardrobe malfunctions!

• The outfit you choose to wear to the interview doesn't have to cost you a lot. You may  feel free to shop the sale section. The outfit definitely should be defined as simple, conservative and of classy taste. I would suggest something safe and neutral, such as black, Gray or white. Choose any outfit that can be versatile in a sense which you can wear to work as well and not just for the interview. Pick something that makes you feel confident as that will shine through when you walk into the interview. Pick something appropriate in length and tailored to fit your body.

• Accessories are great but keep them simple! Do not wear big or flashy jewellery. Stick to stud earrings or a simple necklace, or even a watch which men can sport as an accessory as well. As for men, choose a simple belt and tie nothing super printed or detailed.

• Make sure that your outfit is in pristine condition, no stains and no wrinkles on your clothes.
