HOW TO DRESS FOR SUCCESS
To dress with confidence is to know what looks excellent on you and what doesn’t. The biggest deciding factor is knowing what colors look best with your complexion and hair color. First and foremost it’s all about choosing clothing that make you feel good and boost your confidence.

It’s no secret that assembling an outfit is like selecting social armor. If you have a strong cultural association with a garment, wearing it can affect your cognitive processes. If your brain links a brand collection with powerful, intelligent women, you’re likely to take on those attributes when you wear that brand.

Your go-to pieces should be the ones that are created by a brand you admire. Choose a brand you are honored to represent and you feel at home everywhere when wearing the clothes.

Accessories are very important for the entire appearance, it ties the outfit together and adds a focal point. A scarf takes almost any outfit up a notch.
