Thoughts About Dress

• Before you say a word, you have made an
  impression. 80 of what people think about you
  is based on how you look.
• Impressions are made in the first 3 minutes of an
  interview.
• The purpose of your clothing is to project an
  image of professionalism and confidence.
• When in doubt go conservative. Its better to
  be over dressed than underdressed!
• Dress for success and to impress!!!

WHAT NOT TO DO!!

• If it shines, glitters or glows---it goes.
• One earring for each ear, hence the word pair.
• No other body piercing!
• If your scent precedes you into a room,
• its time for a shower or less cologne.
• If a small pet can nest in your hair, you
  probably need a
• new style.
• Nails shouldnt be considered lethal weapons.
  
• If shoes cant be worn all dayput them away
  
• for play.
• Save showing your skin for the beach.
