Shop on weekends
Schlumping into the shops on a Thursday night to recreate a new work identity
is a big mistake. Exhaustion is apt to make you buy a ghastly Laura Bush pant
suit or a long beige knit dress. Try instead to shop for work clothes with the
same pleasure you'd give to lingerie or shoe shopping on a sprightly Sunday
afternoon. Carry magazine pages if you have to and take a friend you trust.
Get groomed for the top
Hair. Nails. Shoes. Check for these along with your keys as you dash out the
door. It's a little grooming mantra that I have yet to really master but works
beautifully in businesses where people actually have to look at you. Grooming
is more important than expensive clothes, it shows respect and makes you feel
pulled together even if you are imploding. I always type faster after a
manicure.
Encapsulate your style
I didn't believe in capsule dressing until I went on a 15-city book tour. After
that I started buying pantyhose by the dozen and sweaters in pairs. My
ultimate basic work wardrobe is built on this:
1. Three black skirts (of course). One to the knee (which double as a suit
skirt), one for fat days and one for evening (because last minute opera tickets
cannot be refused).
2. Three crush-proof white blouses.
3. One great black jacket.
4. Four cashmere sweaters, three cotton skirts (packs small, travels across
seasons).
5. One great sturdy handbag with a satellite for evening stashed inside.
6. One print dress (vintage or otherwise).
7. One pair of Capri pants.
8. Ballet flats/boots/low heeled pumps.
Building your wardrobe from black doesn't mean wearing all black. You can
go hog wild accessorizing. Color is the ultimate mood lifter at work and a
great way to make basically sensible dress feel sexy. I love hot pink on
Mondays for energy and pale blue on Fridays for pretending to be calm. Your
black skirts don't have to feel predictable either. Try them long in a suede
maxi, sensuous in a silk wrap or artsy in an unusual fabric like chunk
corduroy.

SPEAKING
1. Develop the following situation into a conversation:
One of you in a fashion stylist and the other is an employee who wants to be
promoted.
Stylist: You see that he/she lacks a sense of style in dressing. Give your
piece of advice and convince the employee to change his/her style.
Employee A: You dress commonly and your clothes lack individuality.
The boss does not notice you and this prevents you from being promoted. But
you’ve got accustomed to your style and don’t want to make any changes.
Employee B: You dress in an extraordinary way that shocks everybody
and you don’t want to follow the office dress code. The boss does not
consider you reliable enough to be promoted.
2. Team up in groups of three and illustrate the following sayings from the
article with the stories of your own:
1. Be a caterpillar by day and a butterfly by night.
2. A suit you love is like armor.
3. The more intellectual and powerful you work environment, the
more fashion fripperies are frowned upon.

sensible.
