Spring is here…the temperature is up and your outfit temperature should be up too!                         This is a Lady Bizness approved set that should work for any size, shape, and                                   complexion.If you are fair-skinned then you can pull out the reds and make it                                            pop with a red lip. Make sure your eyebrows are arched to perfection as this                                            type of dress will draw attention to your face immediately after everyone is                                          finished staring at your form-fitting dress.                                                                                                   For a great look try Serenity Suite Skincare and get a threading to add a                                               natural look to your eyebrows.

If you are olive-toned or a medium brown, then pull out your jewel tones                                             and greens to bring a spring look to your eyes. Jewel tones are great for                                                all shades. Focus on your purple shades to bring drama that is sure to please,                                        then make sure you use a dark liner to give yourself an extra wow factor.                                                For a high pigment look try using a primer and then put on the makeup. If you                                          want to kick it up a notch you can even add in a couple of eyelashes.

If you are a little more brown, like myself, then you love all the colors because                                        they enhance your features in every way. I love to mix the colors in the eye                                        palette to blend in at least three of the colors in the dress. I have also added                                            in a nude pink lip to bring attention to the makeup and have a little shine.                                                      I love the turquoise pump to add a little height.  Each month I view my shoe                                      selections at ShoeDazzle and you can too!

Your accessories should be interchanged to mix and match with each outfit                                    depending on your daring attitude.  Make choices with your accessories that                                         allow versatility and make your dollar stretch a little further. Visit the                                                      Just Fab Boutique to find hot items to adorn your spring wardrobe.                                                     Color is King for the Spring!

The Not-So-Classic Pencil Skirt

Tags

Color, fashion, Pencil skirt, professional

When you think about the professional woman, what do you see? Do you see her sophisticated glasses? Her freshly pressed, dark suit jacket? How about her heels- smart and of a reasonable height? Maybe even the classic, black pencil skirt? All of these images conjure up the picture of a strong, independent, professional women, right? Wrong. These images resemble the boring, traditional look that used to be the norm for professional women. Today women have a whole new closet of options that can still be appropriate in the work place.

Take the pencil skirt, for example. The pencil skirt is defined by its shape: a slim-fitting skirt with a straight, narrow cut. In a professional situation, any woman can easily add a pop of color or a level of interest to their outfit by straying from this conventional look. The key to maintaining a level of professionalism is to not go too wild, too short, or too tight.

The pencil skirt should fit your body. This means that hem should fall to, or just below, the knee in general and is tailored for a close fit. The skirt should not look too loose or bulgy.

The skirt can still be paired with a blouse and the optional jacket or cardigan, just as it always has been. The key to remember here is that the top should look good with the bottoms. The colors con contrast one another, match one another, or accent one another. So long as the pieces don’t clash, you are fine! Once you have the right pieces to put together, make sure the pieces all fit your body the way they are supposed to. Professionals need to know what to wear and how to wear it- that means knowing the appropriate size.

The absolute most important part of your fabulous yet professional outfit is that you have to feel comfortable while wearing it. If wearing the red blouse makes you feel silly or out-of-place… if the tweed skirt is out of your comfort zone… whatever it may be, you don’t want to feel awkward in your own clothing. If you want to slowly make your way to bigger pieces of color, my suggestion would be to start small. Add a bright necklace one day, colorful earrings another. Work your way up to a red belt or shoes that provide an accent color. Before you know it you’ll be making a statement and feeling good while doing it!

Just remember: it is important to look professional in the work setting, and that doesn’t have to mean boring.

Toastmasters International Reveals Updated Brand to Greensboro, NC Members

Contemporary and consistent brand identity helps local clubs thrive

 

(Greensboro, NC, March 18, 2012) – For the first time in 70 years, Toastmasters International, the world’s largest nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching communication and leadership skills, has updated its brand. With a more contemporary globe logo and accompanying visual identity system, local Toastmasters clubs now have updated and consistent resources to conduct and promote their programs.

 

The refreshed branding is an exciting step for the Speakerpreneur Toastmasters clubs and our members in Toastmasters District 37, which spans Greensboro, NC and areas of Guilford County.

 

Speakerpreneur Toastmasters Club Vice President of Public Relations, Chisa D. Pennix-Brown, MBA, stated that “the renewed brand speaks volumes in the effort to continue a legacy that spans the globe. At the our club we like to say that we are Head Over Heels for Our Speakers and our new Branding”.

 

Today’s Toastmasters members are culturally and ethnically diverse; they represent all ages and professions and meet in communities and corporations in 116 countries. The updated brand reflects the organization’s evolution as a leading provider of communication, public speaking and leadership skills development

 

“The Toastmasters brand – and the basic principles we stand for – has been around for nearly 87 years, and we expect it will be around for many years to come,” says Michael Notaro, Toastmasters International President. “Updating the brand is really about making it more relevant for today’s current and future members around the globe.”

 

The brand refresh does not affect or alter the organization’s core education programs of communication and leadership skill-building; rather, it provides potential members with a clearer picture of what to expect when visiting any club in the world. By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, members gain leadership skills.  “The combination of strengthening one’s competence in communication and leadership skills – thereby gaining the confidence to lead – is what differentiates Toastmasters International from other skill-building programs,” Notaro says.

 

For more information about the brand refresh, please visit: www.toastmasters.org/BrandFAQs

Pinterest is one of most captivating forms of social media yet. Its intrigue lies in the simplicity of viewing a picture. The ease of sharing your ideas with someone is remarkable.  The quality of photos, recipes, and the links to external websites make it an open marketing field.  For business owners who understand how to harness its power….the sky is the limit.

It is for this reason alone that we will host a class to teach others how to use the platform and integrate it with their current marketing system.  It takes a slightly different perspective to see how it can be used in some businesses, but the fact remains that a picture is worth a thousand words.

Join us on Wednesday, April 4, 2012 from 6-8 pm at the NC A&T BEST Center located at 1325-B S. Eugene Street, Greensboro, NC 27406. Register at www.PFT.eventrite.com.

Of course Pinterest has the ability to go the way of the Myspaces, but I really think that the rapid growth and integration to the largest social media platforms of Twitter and Facebook have set it a part.  It has had time to look at other failures to avoid those mistakes.  If you have a Pinterest list it under this post and I’ll follow you. And of course you can follow me at www.Pinterest.com/LadyBizness.

Throw it in the Bag

We all have some way that we transport our goods on a daily basis, but does it have to be boring? NO! Its that time of year to upgrade your briefcase and make your bag stand out just as much as you do.  This article is dedicated to the ladiez that love to have a fresh bag by their side, but are practical enough to know that it needs to have plenty of space for all the things a lady needs.  This type of lady is always on the go and needs a bag that accommodates her style and calendar.

Starting from the top and work clockwise we have a great variety of bags to choose from . At 12 pm we have more versatile and classic bag in black.  My main bag that I carry every day is a black, patent leather, snake-skin embossed bag that enables me to carry the laptop, files, a smaller bag, and all the toiletries and snacks one business lady needs to make it through a day at of meetings, organizations, and publicity.  This bag can also double as a weekend bag for those that travel a lot and just need to throw it in the BAG!

At 3 pm we have the loud and proud yellow big bird bag.  THis bag is not chicken and is ready to handle the all your tasks while making itself a centerpiece of you wardrobe.  When others take a look at the bag they can assume you are fun-loving and have a couple of surprises in your bag. This bag is perfect for attending the Power Moves Conference in Charlotte, NC, Saturday, March 17, 2012. This event is where the women in Charlotte that want to make professional connections and show their desire to expand their businesses will be at.

5 pm rolls around for the lady that’s a little more traditional and wants to have a femininity-punch of color with a salmon hued addition to the wardrobe.  This bag goes great for the business lady that likes to wear neutrals because its not a far fetched option, but it spices up your brown, beige, nudes, and goes well with hints of orange in your wardrobe.  This is great for those that attend a Sista Sense Social hosted by Blogger Supreme; LaShanda Henry, and want to have plenty of business cards and information to share with fellow attendees.

7 pm floats in with a bold royal blue.  Blue is often seen as a business staple, but this blue says you are ready for the Democratic National Convention that will hit Charlotte, NC from September 3-7, 2012.  For details, volunteerism opportunities, and updates visit Charlottein2012.com.  Royal blue makes your black stand out and feels very nautical when paired with white.  Accessorize with a scarf or a pin that shows your support for the Invisible Children of KONY 2012.

9 pm makes its debut with a money influenced green bag that brings in thoughts of a completed day.  By 9 ppm everyday we would love for our bags to have plenty of money from all of our hard work.  This type of bag is great for ladies that need quick access to cell phones, iPods, etc.  Bring this bag to a Triad Afterwork Social because there are always plenty of people to meet at these events.  Lady Bizness will be at the next one on Wednesday, March 21, 2012 at the Clarion Hotel.

Somewhere in between all the solid bags you need a print.  The print can be playful, serious, but should be colorful.  The pattern you choose it up to you, but make sure its something that goes with your existing wardrobe so that you can dress around the bag. Wear this bag to any event at Savoy Estates or any Lady Bizness event that you attend.  We love color and personal style!  Reply and let us know which bag suits your personal style.

Still Showing Up & Showing Out!
