While interviewing a friend of mine who just became a lawyer not too long ago in Washington I really wanted to speak to her about how she dresses, and why does she dress that way. I started off by asking her if she felt if the way that she dressed really had anything to do with the way she conducted herself with her position. She informed me that its one of the biggest things that she contributes her success too. When she dresses in a suite, not only does it make her feel good and confident about herself and the role that she is in, but it also gives off the professional look she said. It’s something that I do mainly for my clients though. I asked why that was; she informed me that it was because when they see you in a suite or dressed professionally its like we are really to beat the world. I thought that was very interesting in putting it in those terms. I asked if there were any differences between the ways she dressed at work compared to the way that she dressed at home. She told me very much so. When at home, she loves to be in pajamas, getting dressed up to the limit for work is a lot of fun, however, its tiring and gets old at times she told me. After asking when you go out of the house is it any different. This answer surprised me, she said no, it’s just not as much. I wanted to know that she meant by that. She told me that you never know when you will meet a potential client, so making sure that you are dressed for success at any point of the day is the key when you are out in public it definitely comes into play quite a bit.
