Ever wear an outfit that just makes you feel extra cool and hip? One that makes you feel extra confident? Glamorous? Powerful?

I knwo for women in business there's that term the "power suit."

So, what's your "power suit" whether it's for work or other?




Today I feel extra awake and bouncy in my outfit. Rocking a new jacket and new boots and having a good hair day. Stopped at Jack in the Box for breakfast and the guy standing next to me even complimented me on my boots. I swear--the whole outfit just put me in a good mood today. Weeeee!!!

New jacket paired with a black pencil skirt and marching around in my new boots.

Like the jacket and boots Dip! I think I'm a tad bit too old for "cool & hip", gave up glamorous years ago but I do have a couple of outfits that make me feel good about how I look in them - - especially after the 20+ weight loss. Hubby talked me into a shirt and sweater set that everyone compliments me when I wear it. grin

Anywhere I want to be
I'll probably have my man card revoked for posting here, but whenever I wear a suit, people notice. Of course most get worried I have an interview, but that's a whole other story. Normally, I get by with the shirt and tie since I don't deal with customers.

I wasn't thinking "dressy", I was thinking "sexy".
