Measures up how to Present Image, Terrific Every Day, Investment on you Imagine (answers)

ANSWERS

Give yourself a point for every correct answer.

1．No.

Wash ‘N’ Go is a clever name for a shampoo but disastrous if it describes the amount of effort you put into your image each day. Your make-up and hair needs 15-20 minutes, with dressing and accessorising taking another 10. So a half-hour is the minimum goal.

2．Yes.

Earrings are equivalent in importance for a woman to a tie for a man.

3．Yes.

Your hair grows at its own rate but letting it go any longer than eight weeks without attention is letting your grooming down.

4.No.

Hairstyles needing more than 10 minutes’ care each day are only an option for single women who are early risers. Make life easier for yourself by investing in a cut and treatment that makes you look your best with minimal effort.

5．No.

Coloured nail varnish is for women working in fashion or beauty. Otherwise it’s a distraction and does nothing to project a woman who means business. Stick to buffed nails, or clear or light neutral varnishes.

6．Yes.

The hands and nails are integral to your daily communication. Attend to them weekly at a minimum.

7．Yes.

Women who wear make-up earn more and get promoted faster. Learn how to wear colours that look natural and understated at work.

8. No.

If your skirt sneaks up your thighs when you sit down, it is too short or too tight. Aim for an elegantly looser fit in skirts and trousers that stay where you want them to and are flattering not figure-hugging.

9. Yes.

If you apply your make-up well in the morning (using CMB’s 10-minute foolproof routine) then all you need to do is refresh your face with a little powder at lunchtime and touch-up your lipstick two or three times, depending upon how much you are on show that day.

10．Yes.

If you don’t know the difference between sheer denier hosiery and varying degrees of opaqueness you are probably diminishing the overall impact of your outfits. Get the thickness, density and texture appropriate for your wintertime and summertime wardrobes.

11. No.

Neutrals are the mainstay of every working wardrobe but be sure you aren’t playing so safe that your image screams ‘BORING’.

12. Yes.

A belt finishes off your skirts and trousers. A good quality one in a neutral tone that co-ordinates with most of your shoes can work with most outfits.

13. Yes.

Forget what the catwalks are showing; find out the range of options available to make you look your best. If you don’t know what lengths are best, some of your skirts are probably making you look dumpy while others are downright unattractive.

14.Yes.

For jackets, dresses, skirts, trousers — consider cut, fabric, texture and patterns. Consider the mistakes in your wardrobe. Some of these clothes make you look heavier than you really are. Why? If you don’t know, time to find out.

15.No.

Sleeveless dresses inspire little confidence in your authority. Always keep your arms covered, at least to just below the elbow, and wear a jacket to any important meeting whatever the temperature.

16．No.

High heels make most women, short or tall, walk awkwardly. It is true that, if petite, flats don’t enhance your stature but a medium heel, say 1¹/2 inch, makes you look lovely and allows you to walk comfortably and elegantly.

17．Yes.

If your shoes are in a jumble under the bed, or strewn throughout the house, you aren’t getting the best return on your investment. Shoe trees can extend the life of decent shoes for YEARS. Also, in the cupboard, shoes do not collect dust and discolour as they can if left in daylight.

18

The answer should be yes or no. You want to fine-tune your look for effect for special meetings but should be consistently well-dressed so that you could handle any impromptu meeting with someone important.

19．Yes.

Many working women under-estimate the importance of business/social events such as the drink or dinner after work. Plan for a look that can take the day into the evening elegantly. Freshen up your make-up and add a nice scent to enhance your image.

20. Yes.

Why spend good money on your suits but practise false economy on your shoes? Make sure you ‘finish off’ your image with the best quality accessories you can afford. You deserve nothing less.

If you scored 15 to 20 points, your image is quite together. You know that you need to bother every day to make a good impression and are putting in the necessary effort. This will help you fine-tune your image and let you explore new possibilities for looking even more successful.

If you scored 10 to 15 points, your image is probably tired. You are not projecting as well as you need to do in order to get as far as you are capable. Time to rethink your business image and bring yourself up-to-date. This will guide you on all aspects; study the details on grooming and accessories, which may be your weak points.

If you scored under 10 points, your image is hurting your career prospects. Unwittingly, you are being inconsistent and sending the wrong signals to people who matter. You need to start from scratch. Follow the tips in my post, and you will find that a Successful Image is both easy to achieve and affordable.

What it Takes

Now that we’ve examined the sort of situations in which you might wish to change or fine-tune your image, and the business considerations you need to keep in mind, it’s time to concentrate on how to make those changes. The guideline we at CMB use to help women understand what it takes for any individual to project SUCCESS, is that you must first define what is unique about yourself in terms of colouring, build, personality and lifestyle. Then you must adapt your individuality to conform to your position, organisation/sector and culture. This formula produces a unique look for every woman, since no two individuals are exactly alike on all counts.
