An interesting article on professional image and dressing from the Wall Street Journal.

Thanks to Miz Claire for the link.

  1. Hi PB,
    I’m sure this is a great article, but I got all stalled out by the sidebar:

    “The the higher a woman climbs on the corporate ladder, the more light colored suits she can, and should, wear (to be less intimidating).”

    For goodness sake.

    I would welcome your comments on either half of THAT piece of advice. [Oh, yer kiddin’! I missed THAT little gem! I am, of course, rolling my eyes!! I can’t wait to make good on our tragic near-miss in Seattle in Mpls!! Goodie! Write to me offline and we’ll trade digits again… xoxo PB]

    ______

    Also, are you still going to Mpls for the festival of homiletics? If so, I would love to hook up there. Although, having played a round of Nonworking Communication Technologies once already in Seattle, maybe we should just try to bump into each other. (If I can I see ya, skinny :) - tee hee)

  2. Shoes and socks are important! My father, who has impeccable taste and did his share of hiring, always told me I could judge a man by his shoes. I’ve found that when someone doesn’t want to make eye contact, they often end up staring at my shoes and socks — and the reverse.
