Being Chic for your Christmas Party 2011

Corporate Christmas Parties is inevitably part of every corporate professional's December calendar of events.  Dressing for these occasions gives a chance for a regular employee to show off their fashion sense and style.  For this year's holiday season, key elements and details on dresses and styling are predicted to create an outstanding impression for the otherwise, dull and boring corporate look of any office employee.

One-shouldered Dress

From the red carpet to cocktail parties (your own Christmas party), this 2011 trend gave sexiness once again to the asymmetrical look.  Whether it's a single sleeveless or a single long-sleeved style, this is one look that can create a more flattering look for anyone, and add a touch of confidence to the wearer.

Job Interview Tip: Don't 'make-up'... Do "Make-down"

These days, having an impressive resume is not the only factor that can help a job hunter get the job she desires.  Creating an excellent first impression is another factor that an interviewer may consciously or subconsciously be aware of in deciding whether or not you would fit into their company's needs.  First impressions, of course, involve being able to create that most credible appearance during the first moment a job seeker meets the interviewer for the first time. 

As for most females, here are some tips on the ideal job interveiw make-up:

-"Less is More.." Concealer, sheer pressed powder are your best make-up tools for any job interview.  No need for a full coverage foundation or heavy powder.  Remember, you are meeting one or two persons in a room, not an entire audience in a theater.

Q&A: Can we match navy blue socks with brown shoes?

More than once, I've been in a debate about wearing navy blue socks with brown shoes...  I concede defeat when I know it's a losing battle, but I try my best to press on what I think the right answer is.  And so the perfect opportunity to get the right answer from the expert came along, when I attended the 4th Image Forum, organized by the AICI Philippine Chapter.

Mr. Bill Daland, Modern Sartorialist and classic men's wear enthusiast spoke earlier about the essence of men's business wear.  He talked about the history of men's business wear (e.g., modern men's suit takes its inspiration from military clothing of the 1800s), the elements of men's business wear, faux pas in men's professional appearance.  Aside from being an informative talk, we learned so much about the background of men's business clothing too.

And so, during the open forum, I finally asked: "Bill, is it really okay to wear navy blue socks with brown shoes?"

The answer?
