Appearance is critical to first impressions in networking for career. In addition some important things include Cosmetics, fragrance, accessories, clothing, grooming, and handbag really do matter.

Tess McGill give some guidelines how to always look polished and professional at the office:

* Follow the dress code of your office. Even with a casual dress code, avoid short skirts, low-cut necklines, too-high heels, too-tight clothes, and anything bordering too sexy.

* Store
an emergency white blouse in your office in case you spill coffee or even lunch down the front of yourself. These accidents typically happen when you have an important meeting later in the day. Keep an extra pair of hose around too, just in case you spot a run.

* If you plan to socialize after work and want to bring clothes to change into, be discreet. If co-workers see you in something sexy every Friday after work, you will develop the reputation of a partier. Fair or not, this reputation carries negative connotations. You can dress up your work clothes to go from daytime to evening. Remove your suit jacket to reveal a pretty camisole. Add jewelry and swap flats for heels.

* Buy the right clothes to begin with. If you can’t afford a big dry cleaning bill every week, be aware of this when shopping. If possible, spend a little more money for good quality clothes that will last. These are the clothes you are going to be wearing for most of your day, and in most cases for at least five days per week. Clothes will affect your self-esteem, so it’s important that you like them. Whenever you can, pay a few extra dollars to look good and feel great. Via
