Many of my high-powered female clients tell me they find it challenging to choose the right clothes in a business environment, clothes that let you appear credible without stifling your attractiveness.
If you are in a high-powered corporate environment and want to be taken seriously, it's not uncommon to dress conservatively; choosing plainly cut garments in sombre colours.
While this may be completely appropriate to maintain credibility in an old school environment, the clothes we wear can have a subtle influence our ability to tune into our femininity. I know how it makes me feel when I have to wear clothes that don't complement my personality: I feel restless and compressed.
There are some great clothes designers creating wonderful products for us to choose from, so we just need to be a little creative and find a balance between business and pleasure.
A subtle way to counter the feeling of having to diminish your authenticity is to accessorize your business suit with an item that really expresses your personality; it could be a really funky pair of shoes (my personal favourite) or a quirky handbag.
One of my friends says she stays in tune with her femininity in the male dominated world of the stock exchange, by wearing her sexiest lingerie under her work clothes. No one else knows about her feminine indulgence; it amuses her and keeps her in touch with her true nature
You may not be is such a conservative environment but don't really know what suits you, so you grab the nearest outfit in the morning, before heading out the door. This wonderful vehicle, for expressing your femininity, is parked, forgotten, in the garage. I suggest you take it for a spin.
Ask a friend, whose style you like, to take you shopping and help you find some clothes that complement the way you'd like to express your personality. Better still, find a stylist and let them help you.
They have the advantage of a trained eye and a professional perspective; they will help you find outfits that suit you and be objective enough to tell you that the gorgeous Lycra mini skirt you've fallen in love with just isn't going to work!
They'll be able to advise you which colours suit you, which cut best suits your body and where to find the clothes that suit your budget from thrift stores to designer outlets.
You may find, once you know what suits you, that you love putting together a new wardrobe and really enjoy this new vehicle for tapping into your fabulous femininity.
