Adding poise to your style

Sure, you have the best clothes in town, the right make-up and hairstyle and probably a bag that may cost a few months salary for some people.  But if your carriage lacks that spark that makes others say "There's something about that woman...", then all your investment on yourself might be useless, as people may not even notice you go by.  Sometimes, they may even create a negative impression of you.

So it is essential that no matter what style, wardrobe or look you want to have, you match these with the poised, confident and powerful carriage.  One's carriage is usually defined by a person's walk, body language, mannerisms and posture.  Power and confidence in one's carriage can definitely attract more people and create that great first impression that you may want to have.

Say for example, you're about to enter the room for a job interview.  If you enter the room like a nervous newbie, who slouches because you're so self conscious, looks down on the ground or at the table as you approach the interviewer then slumps on the seat with your legs closed together, with your hands on top of your lap tightly clasped, this is definitely a sure way of creating a negative impression for yourself.  Sometimes, no matter how impressive the resume may have been, some interviewers may find that you don't have enough people skills for the job.

How do you add the power and confidence in your walk and carriage then?  It's simple... the answer lies within your posture!  Align and straighten your posture, with your chin parallel to the ground and your arms swaying in a relaxed way at your sides and surely people around you would nudge their companion and say "Look at that woman... There's something about her..."

So uplift your style by uplifting your confidence!  Empower your carriage to empower your image!
