Dress Up!

Dress up!!! While it may sound like extra work, in the long run its not. Dressing up sounds like it may take more time in the morning, pick out everything, and I mean everything. Everything from your outfit to what shoes, jewelry and makeup if you have to. You look more polished, put together, professional, if you have to wear a uniform at work. You’ll feel better about yourself, have more confidence, and it can improve your attitude and help you stand up straighter when you look your best by dressing up.

While it may sound sad, you'll get treated better at many places from the grocery store to Saks. If you think it sounds rude, think this way: If you were a saleswoman at Saks/Nordstrom/any upscale store, who would you go up to first: The woman in PJs and flip-flops or the woman in stylish blouse, slim black slacks and stilettoes.

 

If you still need a nudge to dress, think of it this way: You could run into your least favorite person from high school, like the popular girl from school or even your ex.  Because dressing up can show them you've moved on and you're doing well. Hopefully better than them.

 

Here are some pics for inspiration for dressing up, and you don't have to dress like you're going to a ball. Check out my posts from July  for more ideas. You just want to look your best!
