For decades, Corporate America was “a man’s world”;

with men running companies and women running

households. Femininity had no place in this world,

even into the 80’s, when fashion trends edged onto

the masculine side. Professional women wore suits

and sometimes even ties as they went about their

work week.

Today, so much has changed, and women are thriving

in the professional arena. While work attire for

women tends to be tailored, the rules have loosened

up to the point where every woman who desires to do

so can reveal more her feminine side.

The professional dress code has long been that of

white shirt, black or blue suit, and tie of red or some

other powerful color. This code still holds mostly true for men. If a male colleague were to walk into the of-fice tomorrow wearing a nice red suit, heads would definitely turn. Women, on the other hand, have far more leniency when it comes to color in the work-place. It’s now okay to be feminine, and a suit with a decorative ruffle or in a softer shade of color is per-fectly acceptable. A good rule of thumb when dealing with color is to keep brighter colors under a jacket. For instance, a hot pink shell beautifully compliments a dark blue suit or cardigan. Accessories are a great way to soften an outfit; but these need to be approached with care. A mannish business suit can be softened with a colorful scarf. Scarves liven up drab colors and can bring a nice change into the professional wardrobe. Jewelry is

acceptable in any professional workplace, but should be kept simple and understated. Large necklaces or earrings can overwhelm a professional look and de-tract from it rather than enhance it. Because many professionals must display employee identification at all times, lanyards are yet another way to make a personal statement at work. Lanyards are typically worn around the neck and offer a nice al-ternative to the standard metal badge clip. With a lit-tle searching, you can find decorative lanyards dis-playing sophisticated beaded designs. A functional piece now looks more like jewelry. Some of these smart tools even feature themes for specific situations or times of year. Holiday lanyards may not work in every professional situation; but there are many instances where sophisticated holiday

lanyards can display just the right touch of holiday spirit in the workplace.

Appearance is just as much about hair and makeup as

it is about clothing. In the working world, society has

moved past the standard look of minimal makeup and

hair tied into a top-knot. Color is everything, and a

woman has plenty of opportunity to look and feel

feminine by using muted colors that compliment skin

tone.

Companies all over the world are now operated pri-

marily by women in a variety of positions. Today, it is

a matter of course for any woman to showoff her

feminine side at work.

As a mother, the job is never quite complete. With every task handled, another arises; this is just the way it goes for two decades or more. Because the job of being a mother never ends, it is important that moms take time and devote a little TLC to themselves. In re-ality, without it, they cannot adequately make it through years of being the caretaker of everyone around them. Here are some great ways moms can tap into more energy and good feelings. Looking great doesn’t take much, nor does staying up

on the latest styles. And remember, the reason why

this is important is so that mom feels great. Moms are

people who give of themselves day in and day out,

year after year. When giving takes place to the extent

that it takes over a woman’s life, it is essential that

she replenish and take care of her own needs as well.

Wardrobe Musts for the Stylish Mom


Looking good is one big step in feeling good. Here are a few of the key items that mom can add to her wardrobe.

The Trench Coat For years, the trench coat has been praised for its classic style. Trench coats come in a variety of styles and colors, so mom can add a real punch of color to her wardrobe by grabbing a bright red coat to wear over jeans or dresses.

Boots Boots are a must have for any mom, and here is the really good news: it doesn’t matter what kind of boot! Boots come in such a wide range of styles, from the cowboy boot to the ankle boot to the UGG boot; every

fashion style can be complimented with one style or another. Some people will argue that all you need is one pair of really good boots. But sometimes those really good boots can also be really expensive. Shopping discount stores like TJ Maxx can be one way that a mom can add stylish boots to her wardrobe without breaking her budget.

Jeans Obviously, jeans are super comfortable and would be a staple in anyone’s wardrobe. But mom should be careful to see a fit specialist before hopping on the latest fashion trend bandwagon. A good pair of jeans can go a long way in expanding the versatility of a wardrobe. Tip: No “Mom Jeans”. Jeans should fit well, even if that requires some hemming after purchase. Every mom and every figure has a pair of jeans that

will flatter and make mom feel great.

Lanyards

Every mom needs help in combining fashion with

function, and jewelry lanyards are a new and im-

proved way of doing just that. For years, lanyards have

served as a way for professionals to carry identifica-

tion. Many people wear lanyards around their neck as

a way to keep better track of their keys and other im-

portant items such as their iPod. For the stylish mom,

there is no need to wear a thick nylon rope around her

neck. Instead, choose chic jewelry lanyards featuring

decorative beadwork or even a leather strap. Jewelry

lanyards are so affordable that mom can get herself a

few, and alternate them to suit her mood.

Moms are some of the busiest people in the world. Moms don’t hold down a nine to five job… they work 24/7. Mom’s plate is typically full of activities and responsibilities that keep her going all day long. With the kids back in school, this can be a great time for busy moms to spend some time recreating their look; creating a time-saving beauty and skin care routine can help the busy mom feel better as she goes about her day. If mom’s day is spent driving kids and running errands, she may be in the habit of brushing, combing, dressing and getting to the business of taking care of the family and not herself. But it really pays to spend an extra five minutes in front of the mirror in the mornings. Mom’s who stay at home do not have to dress professionally for their day; however, it has been shown that when one spends time to put on just

a little makeup, she will feel more pep in her step! Most women have reported that the one item they cannot live without is mascara. Even a busy mom can take a few minutes in her morning to apply mineral powder over her moisturizer and also apply mascara to her lashes. This step takes less than five minutes, and proves to be an easy way to look and feel great. The clothes that a mom wears don’t have to look like the clothes HER mother wore (or wears!). Every busy mom should go through her closet every so often and clean out any items of clothing that don’t fit perfectly or that scream drab. Never buy clothing that doesn’t fit perfectly, regardless of your fitness goals or diet status. Buy clothes that fit well; and buy only clothes that make you feel fabulous. Moms deserve to feel great because when they do, they are more effective in

everything that they do. Moms carry lots of things in their purses and cars. Keys are one of the most important items that a mom has to keep track of; and the busier life is, the easier it is to lose these essential items. Many moms have taken to wearing lanyards to hold their keys or other items, such as their iPod. Lanyards are ropes worn around the neck. Most people associate lanyards with professionals who wear employee identification. ID lanyards are common in all sorts of places, from classrooms to boardrooms. Items such as ID lanyards are not, however, just for professionals. A lanyard is a lanyard and even ID lanyards can be adapted to hold keys in-stead of identification.

Many young women are graduating college in their early twenties. Making the switch from college attire to more professional attire can be a difficult transition for some. You want to look like the professional that you are while not giving up your personal style. What many college graduates find is that they feel confined by much of the professional wardrobe they find. The consequence is that they may then turn up for interviews or a new job looking and feeling less than the professional they are. There are ways a young woman can look and feel

great upon entering the workforce for the first time;

and this can be accomplished while never sacrificing

personal style. The first step in ensuring that you look

and feel your best is to take cues from the field in

which you are headed. Office clothing varies from

place to place and from one field to another. For instance, a law office or finance firm will require more formal dress from employees. In a formal work environment, a young woman will need to invest in tailored suits and dresses; and a few pairs of slacks. Colors that are typically seen in a formal workplace are black, navy and grey. Punches of color can be added in a scarf or worn on a neck lanyard which holds an ID badge or eye glasses. The majority of workplaces have a dress code consisting of what is called business casual. This type of dress is comfortable but still allows you to look presentable and professional. The key is to dress sim-ple when first starting out in a new workplace. You want to look your best.

This is where badge accessories can really come in handy. Most people will wear some sort of ID badge at work; and badge accessories can not only dress up your attire but also add more function to your every-day attire. The neck lanyard is typically worn to hold an ID badge. To add a little flair; the young professional woman could switch out her brightly colored nylon neck lanyard for one adorned with beads. This is a small change in an outfit; but one that will give a whole new look to what you wear each day. In the business casual environment, badge accessories like the beaded neck lanyard or a decorative badge reel can make an enormous difference in how you are perceived. When your clothing is neat and stylish, and you adorn each outfit with something functional, you raise your level of business attire just enough.

A bit different from the formal work environment, a business casual environment allows the young graduate to possibly utilize some of the items of clothing she may already have in her wardrobe. The key is to not forget the word “business” in business casual. The items that will not make the transition from classroom to boardroom are jeans, low cut blouses, and open-toe sandals like flip flops. By paying close attention to how the boss dresses, a

young woman should have no problem discerning the

best way to show up for work.
