Fashion Emergency – Happy Diva Day

If image is everything your fashion emergencies set the pace. An emergency look is the go to outfit you grab, when you wake up with an hour or less to leave the house. Ask yourself is it flattering? Is the silhouette comparable to a marshmallow? Are you saying, “Yeah but it’s comfortable? It may be too comfortable. Is it stained with bleach, food, oil, or ink? Is the color faded? If you answered yes, to any of these questions throw the whole outfit away.

Comfortable clothes are great in a pinch. They can undermine your fashion and make you look dull, tired, or depressed. When a professional is wearing clothing that is too relaxed customers question their intelligence and authority. Leaving you asking, "Why you had a bad day from the time you woke up this morning”? Guess what, bad fashion can sabotaged a day.

Throw, old sad clothing away and replace it immediately. Try some yoga pants with a fitted knit jacket, layer it with a denim or khaki jacket add a t-shirt for color. If you really want to step it up add some cool shoes (the ugly brown shoes). The benefit is comfort and style. You look put together and happy in vibrant colors. This outfit is classic and current simultaneously, the look says,
“It’s 2010, What?”

Women over forty can’t help but shift to conservative pieces. We like being comfortable and confident, clothing can assist us. First impressions are lasting ones and everyday is an opportunity to make a new first impression. Happy Diva Day.
