I'm thankful that I've made such an effort to improve my professional appearance. Over the last year I've started wearing dresses with appropriate shoes, jewelry, accessories, light make-up and I try to do my hair. Today is why.
I was asked this morning if I could interview today for another position at work. Because I dress nicely everyday, I didn't have to worry about if what I was wearing was interview appropriate. I knew it was because I am always prepared and I was able to interview with confidence.
Murphy's law says the one day you don't dress nicely is the day you'll run into a bigwig at your company, an ex, or some other person you don't want to look sloppy in front of. It pays to be prepared!
