Outfit Inspo: Designing Women - The Perfect Outfit to Network In
I love to get inspiration where you least expect it. The ladies of Designing Women were well established in the 80s long before I had any fashion sense. But as you can see, influential women can make a mark that can last over a 40 year period, and their fashion seems to always make a comeback. This outfit and it’s big shoulder pads has me fitting in with my 80s gal pals ready to mix it up and mingle. And now that I’ve had my vaccine, let the networking begin.
Strong Shoulders and Big 80’s Hair, Don’t Care
Getting back out in the world, you want to choose an outfit that will make you stand out from the crowd and elicit confidence, but is also comfortable. This outfit has some great wide legged pants that are great for moving around with ease. The statement belt is a great addition for cinching the waist and the bodysuit is the perfect way to make sure it all fits in place.
Know Your Audience
Just like Julia Sugarbaker pairs her pearls with a razor-sharp tongue and fiery wit, it’s good to have an outfit planned when it’s time to mingle about town and make new connections. I typically plan out my outfits beforehand because I know there’s a chance of an occasional selfie or social post. Take your look seriously as your image is what makes the impression when networking and makes you more memorable.
