DRESS FOR SUCCESS

Nailing what to wear to work is tough any time of year, but come winter it's especially difficult. The struggle each morning is how to dress warm and yet be polished in the workplace. Here are a few tips to consider of how to dress for success in the winter time.

Layered looks are super trendy and for the winter it is essential because when it’s chilly these layers will help you not to freeze. There are so many different ways to create chic layering looks. Consider the following styles when layering your outfits.

1. BUTTON-DOWN + SWEATER + CROPPED PANTS + MIDI BOOT is a classic combonation but yet fresh for the work place.

2. Cold-proof any tunic with a turtleneck layered underneath, and then belt it over a sleek pencil skirt for an instant office-friendly outfit Complete your look with black fleece-lined tights and heeled Chelsea boots.

3. Really love that dress from the summer? No problem! Go for an easy, shift silhouette, but make it feel more modern by layering a turtleneck and tights underneath. Finish it all off with oxford flats or loafers.

4. Lastly, you can never go wrong with a blazer, which pairs well with skirts, dresses or pants. I personally like the fact that it comes in variety of colors and can also bring any outfit to life.

Today, we’ll be looking at some of the benefits of having a plan/schedule or outline for everyday life, as well as long term goals. 1. When you have a schedule/a to-do list, you efficiently assign a sufficient amount of time required to complete certain tasks, rather than leave most things undone because of distractions or not having a particular guideline to follow.
