Tips to Dress for Business Success?

David the

What tips do you go by in dressing for day-to-day, whether for important events (e.g., high profile meetings) or managing?

For example, one rule of thumb I go by is to wear my eye color in a meeting, to both draw attention to my eyes and better project myself.

Answer
General rule of thumb is to dress to the level of your boss, manager or supervisor. Sure you can work on color coordinating, but if you're a landscaper, wearing a tie just makes you look silly... even if it matches your eyes.

Can I wear this dress to a wedding?

I have this dress that is black color on top, with a black lace belt and white/pearl color on bottom, the length is at my knees.

I also plan to wear a black color satin opened toe heels and have a black color wrap.

Is this appropriate?

This Dress

Answer
The dress itself is very pretty.....for grads, for fancy dinners, for family reunions....not for a wedding.
Weddings have two rules: dont wear solid black, that is for funerals, and a wedding is a celebration. And don't wear white. Or any hue of white. That is for the bride. a summer wedding is best suited to pastel colours. Light pinks, lavenders, spring greens, turquoise blues, sunny yellows...anything but white.
I work in a store that deals solely with weddings...and trust me, no one should be wearing white except the bride. :)
gorgeous dress though, and i love your taste in accessories. :D
