Dressing for Networking Happy Hour – The Smart and Agile You!
.
Tip 3. Keep items in your office (pre-plan!) to style up your look (reconstruct!)
Ladies, a pair of open toe shoes, a glitter clutch/evening bag, and a statement necklace fit easily in a desk drawer and will dress up your outfit and add character to your look.
If wearing a blouse and a skirt, think about a colored belt and earrings.
Gentlemen, the same goes for you. A light leather jacket easily kept on a coat hanger can replace your blazer and transform your look effortlessly.
A pair of jeans kept in your office drawer can be worn with your shirt and tie, to add a touch of agile to your professional appearance. If you leave on your oxfords or loafers, remember to wear the matching belt with your jeans!
Don’t overdo it, you only need a few touches to change your look.
Tip 4: Make it personal!
Always focus on finding a good fit that flatters your body and on achieving a look that reflects who you are. This will make you feel confident and at ease, and will convey what makes you unique.
Takeway-Recap:
~ Office-wear that you can un-layer
~ Base outfits that you can loosen up a notch
~ Pre-planned items that add character to your base outfit
~ A good fit for your body and personality
Remember that in networking happy hours, the personal is professional.
