HOW I WANT TO BE ADDRESSED

The first impression we make on people influence how they will feel about us. I  think most  people does not  realise the impact of a first impression when they first meet people. The image we create on our first meeting has a lot of things to do with the way the person will perceive us. 

We are in a world where we are judge by our appearance. Our appearance is all about how we dress, whether we are plus size, slim, fat, tall or short. Our appearance will do the communication and how we are to be addressed. 

What we wear communicate what and how we will be addresses, you will be treated base on the type of dress you are putting on, the color of your dress , fitness of your dress which in turn  influence how will be perceived . It is not how expensive your cloth are but how comfortable and how it will makes you to be more confident

Brand Representation

What you wear speak volumes about your personal brand Representation, People use this clue to know what you stand for. What ever event you are going for, be  an annual review or video conference, the correct choice of dress will impact your success outcome.

Creating  a “look” that represents your brand, you need to ask yourself these questions:

 Does it fit me?

Fit is essential,  successfull good looking is the quickest way to show off a professional brand. Ensure every item of clothing is…

• The correct length.
• Neither too tight nor too loose.
• Do the squat test. Squat down in the fitting room, if you can’t straighten up without ripping the item, it’s too tight!
• Raise both arms. If shirt buttons start popping, it’s too tight.
• Does my look compliment my job title?
• Does it suit my body shape?
• Does my image represent the company’s brand?
• Smile
• a happy or friendly expression on the face in which the ends of the mouth curve up slightly, often with the lips moving apart so that the teeth can be seen.   Cambridge Dictionary

Smiling is contangious, it happens  when someone smiles at you and you can’t help but smile back at the person. Smiling is beautiful  and can be freely given to everyone around you. One of the things that can never run out of style and out of mode  is smilling and they are the best things one can ever wear.

Smiling is inexpensive and it create an infinite impact on people and life in general. A smile given to the right person at the right time could influence what that person does next and the choices they make.
