[quote=Anonymous]I think all good clothing advice so nothing to add but I will stress hair! I cannot tell you how many women I see who dress but then just wash and wear hair or do a frizzy blow dry.

Hair and nails are the key and then simple classic pieces.

I have thick, coarse, curly, frizzy hair if I let it go natural.

I get compliments on it daily but it is a lot of work and a lot of money. However, the alternative is not pretty and I know it, photos prove it. So....I do it every other day but it means getting up at 5, washing it, letting it air dry 45 min, quick blow dry, then straighten with flat iron. Keratin treatments 3+ a year, salon cut every 4-6 weeks to thin out, etc.

If I’m on vacation or working on project from home I don’t do all this. If I’m in office and meeting clients/ presentations,  I do ( and have my entire career.) it makes a huge difference in how polished you look.

I have highly educated, accomplished clients. We do great work together but you know what they compliment me most On —my hair and clothes! People do notice. Even in this day and age women are still held to a different standard.

My DH is getting chubby, grey hair coming in, and balding. He does dress nice but no way same issues or pressure. I eat healthy, work out every day, and maintain a professional wardrobe. It does make a difference in how one is perceived.[/quote]
