Look the Part

Divas know that one of the most important aspects of being a diva is to "look" the part. Even if you don't quite have the diva-tude to a science, you have to be visually fabulous at all times. Hair, clothes, SHOES, nails, make-up, and accessories should all be well planned and executed regularly. Granted, we all have those not so diva like days but they should be minimal to say the least. As I stated in a previous post you can not consider yourself a diva if the only time you put effort into your look is on the weekend. Instead of being a diva you would be considered simply a party girl.

There are countless ways to keep it simple and still be fabulous!! For instance my children are athletes and as a mommy it's my duty to be at their sporting events cheering them on. I know this may be a shocker but no I don't wear heels to their games. However I am still the mom to watch out for because I have several pairs of fabulous flat sandals and cute sneakers that demand attention when I walk in the room. I am always well put together and don't just show up looking like I rolled out of bed and showed up at the game. Even when in sports mommy mode I am still a diva!!! I believe we as divas have to ALWAYS "Look the Part"!!!!

I was out for the evening a few days ago with my awesome friends and one of the topics for discussion was work attire. If you have worked hard to climb the corporate ladder or even if you are just beginning your hike up that ladder you need to consider your look. If you want to be perceived as a professional and one who takes pride in what they do then I believe you should start with the way that you look. Before anyone can really get to know who you are and what you know they form their impression of you based on what they see. If you are showing up to the office in sweat pants and basketball shorts what part do you look like you play? I understand that some work environments are more relaxed than others, but does that mean you have to be totally relaxed with your personal standards as well? If your professional environment is laid back then try a simple pair of chinos and a polo shirt. There are millions of ways to keep it simple without making it "Barney" simple. The saying "Dress for Success" is paramount when you are preparing for a fabulous day in the office!!!

Life: You set the tone for the way that others will receive and perceive you!! If you want to be taken seriously then demand authoritative attention!!! You want to be well liked or even loved then love yourself and be a person that you in yourself would like!!

My friends are such an inspiration to me. This is my friend Demetrick Brown in the photo looking the part!!!
