I am often asked where I am going by both friends and associates because of my work attire and I usually have a witty comeback like, "I dressed up for you." And during the holiday season I try my hardest to increase the frequency of these compliments as a sense of personal pride.   Clothes and accessories are pieces of art to me, and I approach each and every outfit with energy and excitement.  Simply stated, "I love the art of dressing."

This holiday season, I implore you to dress like the person you aspire to be.  Every day go a little bit above and beyond your usual routine.  Wearing something you would dress in for a special dinner or an important interview is a great start.  Do this consistently throughout the month of December and see how the compliments roll in along with the excitement and cheer  of the holidays.

For the gentlemen, wearing a tie or a personally tailored jacket will make a great impression.  For the ladies,  velvet, or a sparkly shirt.  Personally, I love plaid for this season and simply can not get enough of it.  A great outfit paired with a chic updo will do amazing things for your image and conveys to others what a "put together" person you are.

Simply stated, no matter what you decide to do with your wardrobe and your image, make it special and put some effort into it.   This extra effort will be noticed and you too will soon be able to respond to the compliment of "where are you going?" with you own witty remark.

Happy Holidays-
