POWER DRESSING

. POWER DRESSING FOR WORK .

Power dressing for work is actually one of my little guilty pleasures, as bizarre as it sounds, putting on an outfit that makes you feel darned good gives you a whole ton of confidence and ‘feel good’ motivation is key when you have a tricky or daunting situation to deal with. A couple of weeks ago I had a pretty big meeting with some very senior client bods, also ironically a very male orientated situation, being the only girl (and relatively young for my position also) I wanted to wear something for the meeting that would make me feel confident, comfortable but importantly look professional. Power dressing works for any situation, work or pleasure, it’s about putting on an outfit that makes you feel ‘boom boom pow’, for whatever occasion that might be, for me this look was all about power dressing for work.

I wanted to channel a chic androgynous vibe for the meeting, but still dress in something I love & something innately feminine too. My cigarette trousers are an easy win for this sort of look, smart yet totally chic when worn the right way.  I teamed my ASOS off white cigarette trousers with a simple nude camisole (tucked in of course) & finished the look with my understated, very comfortable, and totally chic garland sandals from Office. Not pictured here, but I also teamed the look with my Zara crew neck green coat (worked perfectly). Of course there’s nothing like finishing a look with a designer bag to make you feel all the more fabulous too.

The look was top to toe off white, very feminine but still looked professional & smart. The outfit gave me confidence & made me feel good, which is what power dressing is all about. Whilst I wore this for work last week, it’s also an outfit I’d absolutely sport outside of work too, in fact Jase seriously loved this look and actually said it was one of his favourites yet. Crazy eh, whether it’s the outfit itself, or the confidence I had wearing it, it seemed to work either way.
