The Power Dressing Code For Women With Authority!

I believe every woman is different and has her own personal style DNA and therefore needs individual, personalised advice on how to create visual balance. I have always been passionate about giving women the relevant advice and the tools to dress in the best way, to create a streamlined look using a woman's individual body shape and colouring. 

When dressing for a professional image it is key to get first impressions right whether it is for an interview, meeting, client meeting, networking event or conference, because it will reflect your professional skill set as well how much you care and respect of having the job or wanting the job as well the position you are holding at that company. So, when you are getting first impressions right professional people feel they can relate to you and feel more understood when conducting business. Simply because they like what they see and therefore will trust you more easily and faster when working with you.

"In business, you are dressing to have an impact on your bosses and teammates. If your clothes don't convey the message that you are competent, able, ambitious, self-confident, reliable and authoritative, nothing you say or do will overcome the negative signals emanating from your apparel." Betty  (Author - Games Mother Never Taught You)

Women with authority need to apply a power dressing code when doing business because it is their visual calling card of whom they are. The power dressing code starts first of all to dress right for their body shape and body features. Secondly, women with authority need an outfit that they can rely on and feel comfortable and not restricted in anyway-, so they can focus on their job 100%. Thirdly the power dressing code needs to be appropriate for age and position as well looking current. Their professional image needs to convey an image of knowing yourself, being up to date with current affairs as well as ready and prepared no matter what the day will bring. Looking current doesn't mean buying constantly new outfits and dresses, but instead e.g. having a current haircut, makeup or accessorising your outfit with current items. Important that your image shows that you put yourself together with care and respect- that you are looking groomed and kept. In that means that you put attention, care and respect into your professional image, which will translate that you will do the same effort towards your work, company and clients. 

If you want a client, colleague and a company to respect and invest in you, you have to make the first step. If you don't invest in yourself and don't show self-respect why should they? Women with authority simply need to invest in themselves by paying attention to themselves, finding their signature look, buying investment pieces for a staple wardrobe and looking prepared and in control no matter what the day will bring. Dressing right takes strategy. In order to look and feel good, we simply can't wear clothes based only on what we love!

Michaela Jedinak power dressing code step by step:

The first step to power dressing is honest self-assessment by assessing your body shape and body features. It is all being honest with yourself and knowing your strengths and weaknesses: the same rules as in business. Every woman has features, which are better than others - the skill is bringing the good ones into focus and distracting from the weaker ones. A woman with authority has to look her best and there is no excuse about it because she has the means and resources to ask an expert. As she would do the same when it would be a business matter. Power Dressing" means different things for different women - every woman is different in her needs, build and her personality and therefore everyone needs to be evaluated in own right.
