| Trump minion says dress up to step up
"After you get your entrylevel job with that paycheck, take some of that money and invest in your No. 2 interview suit and then No. 3," advises Carolyn Kepcher, executive vice president of The Trump Organization and one of Donald Trump advisers on "The Apprentice." "Always try to dress a step ahead. The better you look,[url=http://www.floware.fr]michael kors femmes[/url], the more confident you are," she says. Kepcher, who is featured in the new issue of Cosmopolitan Style wearing sexyyettasteful evening wear by Tufi Duek and Dolce Gabbana, says it important to always look classy, no matter what the occasion is. "Everything has to be appropriate, but throw in a little color and a little personality. Me, personally, I walk in wearing a red dress with a red blazer and a higherheel shoe," she says. "A little flair shows confidence. It shows a little experience." It also pays to pay attention to detail. "If someone walks in with a Louis Vuitton with a wallet and a bag, it sort of sets her apart. It says you made it," says the chief operating officer of Trump National Golf Clubs. But again, she stresses the appropriateness of a look. "If that same girl had walked in at 18, you know that that Louis Vuitton was a gift!" Cotton Incorporated, an industry research and marketing company, put together the following list of staples for a working woman wardrobe: Black skirt that hits just above the knee. Twin set that has elements that can be worn together or separately. Pantsuit in a seasonless fabric that won wrinkle easily. The "right" jacket that can be worn with jeans, slacks or a skirt. Black pants that can be worn with a tailored buttondown shirt or a sheer blouse. Feminine blouse, an easy way to show off personal style. Little black dress that can be dressed up or down. Black turtleneck, particularly a formfitting version that can be worn alone or under a sweater. Highquality pumps and loafers for shoes, and simple and subtle jewelry. A slim black belt in a smooth or textured leather also is a necessity. Interview outfits are very important, Kepcher says, because besides the initial "hello," clothing is what forms a first impression. It also important, though, not to let your style slide after winning a job, especially if you want to move up that company ladder. She says at casting calls for "The Apprentice," candidates have shown up in Tshirts with goofy faces and sayings while others go the more traditional route. The Tshirt wearers get attention but then she wonders, "How seriously can I take this guy?" A man in a tie, however, is showing respect to a potential employer. Kepcher suggests taking this "appropriateness test" before walking out the door for an interview or an important meeting with your boss: "If you look in the mirror and your conscience at first says don stand there trying to justify it. Change; otherwise you regret it." Retailer Express is partnering with Monster, the careerservice company, on a TV tour suggesting wardrobes for job seekers, taking into consideration the candidates dream jobs and personal style. Express fall collection focuses on career wear as the company makes a strategic shift toward a slightly older consumer than the teenagers who favored the brand in the past. |
