Using your Personal Style as a Tool
/I often speak about the power of using your personal style and developing a signature style brand to engage and develop trust. I give examples of iconic women that we would know who they are without even seeing their faces… women like Jackie O, Kate Middleton, and Michelle Obama.
Of course these women have and have had access to experts, stylists, designers, and aren’t limited by much of a budget; but they have more than that. The realized that fashion is more than the clothes they put on their body… they use clothing as a strategic tool!

The Clothes We Wear Sends Signals
Your clothing sends out all sorts of messages and you want to make sure those messages are aligned with who you are & your goals! The colors, structure, and patterns of your clothes send messages about your personality and your overall tone.
Let’s use another female in politics as an example… or at least on TV … If you think of Robin Wright's character on House of Cards, Claire Underwood.. her style was a main character on the show. When the show first started out, prior to her husband being in the White House, she could be found in understated looks that wasn’t too flashy. But when Claire began her official duties as first lady, the clothing choices began to shift. She started wearing clothes that were very tailored and structured…. signaling that she is very confident and always [seemed] to be in control of herself. She also stopped wearing muted tones and wore jade green and burgundy.
In the show’s final season, Claire in full Madam President mode, stepped out in sharp dress suits befitting the most powerful person in the world. The buttoned-up, stretchy wool-crepe attire often embraces an appropriate presidential blue conveying the seriousness of a military commander ready for war. It’s a stark contrast to Claire’s early days of playing the supporting role to her power-hungry husband Francis Underwood
