WARDROBE ESSENTIALS FOR THE POWERFUL WOMAN
published: Monday | February 6, 2006

Tesi Johnson, GleanerWriter


Left: This suit from Adrienne's features a pair of pin striped pants to make you the focus of the office. The stripes are the exact shade in the tweed jacket. Right: Never underestimate the power of the little black dress, this time it emerges with round double row collar that gently caresses the shoulders. - PHOTOS BY WINSTON SILL/FREELANCE PHOTOGRAPHER

SO YOU ARRIVED at the top rung of the proverbial ladder of success, and your achievements and clout are now undeniable. At this point, the phrase 'dressed for success' takes on a whole new meaning, as you are already successful. You are no longer interested in proving yourself, but in conveying an image that screams, "I have it all!" Show your colleagues, and subordinates that your capabilities in the office are only surpassed by your superb sense of fashion.

Tailored pants suit: Nothing says "successful" like clean lines, and straight seams.

Stilletto heeled pumps: Preferably four inches will work well.

A little 'bling': Wear your expensive jewellery when you have board meetings, dazzle without being gaudy.

Dark sunglasses: One cannot afford to have irritants like the sun in your eye wrecking a perfectly productive day.

A really expensive fully lined (silk is best), black dress for evening: Be prepared for the occasional cocktail or dinner party. You are popular, so chances are, you'll be invited.

A selection of beautiful brooches, a set of pearls: a strand for your neck and earrings preferably set in white gold, or better yet, diamond studs, bracelet and ring.

A hot ride: So a car is not clothing, but who cares. It sure enhances your appearance to step out of a rocking ride that will have all the guys begging you to take them for a spin. Take this as an opportunity to tell them no!

A big handbag: You're a tycoon; you have lots of stuff to carry around. Make sure the labels speaks without screaming.

A Piaget, Movado or Rolex watch

Perfume that signals your entry: Get the one no one else at the office has so they will always be asking, "what's that fragrance."
