For decades, Corporate America was “a man’s world”;
with men running companies and women running
households. Femininity had no place in this world,
even into the 80’s, when fashion trends edged onto
the masculine side. Professional women wore suits
and sometimes even ties as they went about their
work week.
Today, so much has changed, and women are thriving
in the professional arena. While work attire for
women tends to be tailored, the rules have loosened
up to the point where every woman who desires to do
so can reveal more her feminine side.
The professional dress code has long been that of
white shirt, black or blue suit, and tie of red or some

other powerful color. This code still holds mostly true
for men. If a male colleague were to walk into the of-
fice tomorrow wearing a nice red suit, heads would
definitely turn. Women, on the other hand, have far
more leniency when it comes to color in the work-
place. It’s now okay to be feminine, and a suit with a
decorative ruffle or in a softer shade of color is per-
fectly acceptable. A good rule of thumb when dealing
with color is to keep brighter colors under a jacket.
For instance, a hot pink shell beautifully compliments
a dark blue suit or cardigan.

Accessories are a great way to soften an outfit; but
these need to be approached with care. A mannish
business suit can be softened with a colorful scarf.
Scarves liven up drab colors and can bring a nice
change into the professional wardrobe. Jewelry is

acceptable in any professional workplace, but should
be kept simple and understated. Large necklaces or
earrings can overwhelm a professional look and de-
tract from it rather than enhance it.

Because many professionals must display employee
identification at all times, lanyards are yet another
way to make a personal statement at work. Lanyards
are typically worn around the neck and offer a nice al-
ternative to the standard metal badge clip. With a lit-
tle searching, you can find decorative lanyards dis-
playing sophisticated beaded designs. A functional
piece now looks more like jewelry.

Some of these smart tools even feature themes for
specific situations or times of year. Holiday lanyards
may not work in every professional situation; but
there are many instances where sophisticated holiday

lanyards can display just the right touch of holiday
spirit in the workplace.

Appearance is just as much about hair and makeup as
it is about clothing. In the working world, society has
moved past the standard look of minimal makeup and
hair tied into a top-knot. Color is everything, and a
woman has plenty of opportunity to look and feel
feminine by using muted colors that compliment skin
tone.
Companies all over the world are now operated pri-
marily by women in a variety of positions. Today, it is
a matter of course for any woman to showoff her
feminine side at work.

Wardrobe Musts for the Stylish Mom

As a mother, the job is never quite complete. With
every task handled, another arises; this is just the way
it goes for two decades or more. Because the job of
being a mother never ends, it is important that moms
take time and devote a little TLC to themselves. In re-
ality, without it, they cannot adequately make it
through years of being the caretaker of everyone
around them. Here are some great ways moms can
tap into more energy and good feelings.

Looking great doesn’t take much, nor does staying up
on the latest styles. And remember, the reason why
this is important is so that mom feels great. Moms are
people who give of themselves day in and day out,
year after year. When giving takes place to the extent
that it takes over a woman’s life, it is essential that
she replenish and take care of her own needs as well.

Looking good is one big step in feeling good. Here are
a few of the key items that mom can add to her
wardrobe.

The Trench Coat

For years, the trench coat has been praised for its
classic style. Trench coats come in a variety of styles
and colors, so mom can add a real punch of color to
her wardrobe by grabbing a bright red coat to wear
over jeans or dresses.

Boots

Boots are a must have for any mom, and here is the
really good news: it doesn’t matter what kind of boot!
Boots come in such a wide range of styles, from the
cowboy boot to the ankle boot to the UGG boot; every

Page 6

fashion style can be complimented with one style or
another. Some people will argue that all you need is
one pair of really good boots. But sometimes those
really good boots can also be really expensive.
Shopping discount stores like TJ Maxx can be one way
that a mom can add stylish boots to her wardrobe
without breaking her budget.

Jeans

Obviously, jeans are super comfortable and would be
a staple in anyone’s wardrobe. But mom should be
careful to see a fit specialist before hopping on the
latest fashion trend bandwagon. A good pair of jeans
can go a long way in expanding the versatility of a
wardrobe. Tip: No “Mom Jeans”. Jeans should fit well,
even if that requires some hemming after purchase.
Every mom and every figure has a pair of jeans that

will flatter and make mom feel great.

Lanyards

Every mom needs help in combining fashion with
function, and jewelry lanyards are a new and im-
proved way of doing just that. For years, lanyards have
served as a way for professionals to carry identifica-
tion. Many people wear lanyards around their neck as
a way to keep better track of their keys and other im-
portant items such as their iPod. For the stylish mom,
there is no need to wear a thick nylon rope around her
neck. Instead, choose chic jewelry lanyards featuring
decorative beadwork or even a leather strap. Jewelry
lanyards are so affordable that mom can get herself a
few, and alternate them to suit her mood.

Easy Makeover Tips for Busy Moms

Moms are some of the busiest people in the world.
Moms don’t hold down a nine to five job… they work
24/7. Mom’s plate is typically full of activities and
responsibilities that keep her going all day long. With
the kids back in school, this can be a great time for
busy moms to spend some time recreating their look;
creating a time-saving beauty and skin care routine
can help the busy mom feel better as she goes about
her day.

If mom’s day is spent driving kids and running
errands, she may be in the habit of brushing, combing,
dressing and getting to the business of taking care of
the family and not herself. But it really pays to spend
an extra five minutes in front of the mirror in the
mornings. Mom’s who stay at home do not have to
dress professionally for their day; however, it has
been shown that when one spends time to put on just

Page 8

a little makeup, she will feel more pep in her step!

Most women have reported that the one item they
cannot live without is mascara. Even a busy mom can
take a few minutes in her morning to apply mineral
powder over her moisturizer and also apply mascara
to her lashes. This step takes less than five minutes,
and proves to be an easy way to look and feel great.

The clothes that a mom wears don’t have to look like
the clothes HER mother wore (or wears!). Every busy
mom should go through her closet every so often and
clean out any items of clothing that don’t fit perfectly
or that scream drab. Never buy clothing that doesn’t
fit perfectly, regardless of your fitness goals or diet
status. Buy clothes that fit well; and buy only clothes
that make you feel fabulous. Moms deserve to feel
great because when they do, they are more effective in

Page 9

everything that they do.

Moms carry lots of things in their purses and cars.
Keys are one of the most important items that a mom
has to keep track of; and the busier life is, the easier it
is to lose these essential items. Many moms have
taken to wearing lanyards to hold their keys or other
items, such as their iPod. Lanyards are ropes worn
around the neck.

Most people associate lanyards with professionals
who wear employee identification. ID lanyards are
common in all sorts of places, from classrooms to
boardrooms. Items such as ID lanyards are not,
however, just for professionals. A lanyard is a lanyard
and even ID lanyards can be adapted to hold keys in-
stead of identification.

Young Professional Woman Style Guide

Many young women are graduating college in their
early twenties. Making the switch from college attire
to more professional attire can be a difficult transition
for some. You want to look like the professional that
you are while not giving up your personal style. What
many college graduates find is that they feel confined
by much of the professional wardrobe they find. The
consequence is that they may then turn up for
interviews or a new job looking and feeling less than
the professional they are.

There are ways a young woman can look and feel
great upon entering the workforce for the first time;
and this can be accomplished while never sacrificing
personal style. The first step in ensuring that you look
and feel your best is to take cues from the field in
which you are headed. Office clothing varies from

Page 11

place to place and from one field to another. For
instance, a law office or finance firm will require more
formal dress from employees.

In a formal work environment, a young woman will
need to invest in tailored suits and dresses; and a few
pairs of slacks. Colors that are typically seen in a
formal workplace are black, navy and grey. Punches
of color can be added in a scarf or worn on a neck
lanyard which holds an ID badge or eye glasses.

The majority of workplaces have a dress code
consisting of what is called business casual. This type
of dress is comfortable but still allows you to look
presentable and professional. The key is to dress sim-
ple when first starting out in a new workplace. You
want to look your best.

Page 12

This is where badge accessories can really come in
handy. Most people will wear some sort of ID badge
at work; and badge accessories can not only dress up
your attire but also add more function to your every-
day attire.

The neck lanyard is typically worn to hold an ID
badge. To add a little flair; the young professional
woman could switch out her brightly colored nylon
neck lanyard for one adorned with beads. This is a
small change in an outfit; but one that will give a
whole new look to what you wear each day. In the
business casual environment, badge accessories like
the beaded neck lanyard or a decorative badge reel
can make an enormous difference in how you are
perceived. When your clothing is neat and stylish, and
you adorn each outfit with something functional, you
raise your level of business attire just enough.

Page 13

A bit different from the formal work environment, a
business casual environment allows the young
graduate to possibly utilize some of the items of
clothing she may already have in her wardrobe. The
key is to not forget the word “business” in business
casual. The items that will not make the transition
from classroom to boardroom are jeans, low cut
blouses, and open-toe sandals like flip flops.

By paying close attention to how the boss dresses, a
young woman should have no problem discerning the
best way to show up for work.
