I recently facilitated a lively workshop where I spoke to several women about the importance of understanding our body types to dress for success.  We have no more than 7 seconds to make a great first impression – how we present ourselves nonverbally sets the tone for victory.

Before we jumped into the second part of my workshop, fun with accessories, I educated the attendees about body shapes and ideas on how to select the right clothing item to enhance her silhouette.   Although each woman has her own unique body shape, we all typically fall into one of four primary categories:  Triangle (smaller shoulders, wider hips –sometimes referred to as pair shaped), Inverted Triangle (broad shoulders with small hips and thin legs), Rectangle (no defined waist, shoulders and hips same width apart), Hourglass (shoulders & hips align with a clearly defined waist – think Marilyn Monroe!).   The hourglass is the most balanced shape.  The goal for the other shapes is to select pieces that create visual alignment.

My daughter and I took a “Rhode Island “ style road-trip recently. We traveled 25 minutes north, in the rain, to visit the high-style boutique Clad In in Providence’s swanky Wayland Square.

My 11-year-old daughter Gabi is following in my footsteps! She has maintained for quite some time that she wants to be in the Fashion Industry. So with intention and excitement Gabi and I stepped into Clad In, placed our umbrellas at the door and introduced ourselves to 2 very engaging artists. Debra Smith was immediately inviting. I have to admit, Tziporah’s commanding sense of self and striking style had me a bit awe-struck. Once I took a deep breath, I regained my composure and engaged in what turned out to be an unexpectedly educational Sunday afternoon!

Here is what I learned: [Read more…] about Our Body as a Canvas – Meeting Debra Smith & Tziporah Salamon

“The only rule is don’t be boring and dress cute wherever you go. Life is too short to blend in.” Paris Hilton

I love the concept of this statement. Now, for a woman 30+, this does not mean wear frilly cocktail dresses to the supermarket. It means, dress each day as if you were going to a special luncheon or event. Put aside the comfy sweats and yoga pants and slip on those fabulous jeans, sweater and stylish shoes. Don’t forget to accessorize! [Read more…] about Accessories! Five Magical Ideas to Dress Up or Down Your Look
