What to wear to a leadership simulcast or a training event?

I am super excited because I have a jam packed week of learning ahead of me. Today I attended an Entreleadership simulcast given by Dave Ramsey, based off his new bestseller and next week I will be at a workshop at Cornell!  I am happy to report that I have returned excited and eager to serve you with fabulous new ideas, but the question this morning was what does one wear to a leadership simulcast or a training event anyway? Here are a few tips to follow when planning to attend a training event:

1. Keep it clean and classy
2. Dress like you are a student, in this case a student of leadership, you never know who will be in the room you may find a protege or a mentor
3. Remember why you are there: to learn and network.. not to be in competition, so don't dress so crazy that you complete with the message
4. Keep accessories simple, the temperature changes so frequently that you will be taking your jacket on and off and you don't want jewelery to get caught on you jacket or name tag.

I kept it simple by adding this color blocked silver and black necklace that I got for $8.80 from forever 21 and to be honest I like how it worked out. I felt pulled together and professional. What do you think?

Put a Little Prep in Your Step

Preppy is back in style so pull out your loafer ladies. I got these high heeled loafers at Charlotte Russe. Kakis always work well with a white shirt, so to pull this look together pull you hair back, add your favorite cardigan and a printed scarf. Refine it with some pearls and preppy glasses.

Dont Be Shy- Pull Out the Bright Peices

Does the weather still having you feeling grey like me? Pull out the bright peices. Don't be shy-you can handle the attention. The spotlight will be on the hue, so pair a bright color with a toned down neutral suit. Keep the lines crisp and simple and let the color do all the work.

Summer Staples Styled for Fall

Since today is the offical first day of fall, I starting pairing down my closet to make some room for fall and winter fashions and I was surprised how it has made getting ready for work so much easier. I began looking at my closet with new eyes. A few summer peices poped out that I want to wear once more before I pack them away, like this white eyelet dress I picked up last summer at Ross for $12.  After pairing it with this scarf and a gold cuff that I just picked up from Forever 21 for $5, I was not so sure I wanted to pack it away.  It is funny how you can transition an outfit with just a few simple accessories.

2 Ways To Spice Up Your Nails For Fall

Trying to mix it up on a smaller scale this fall. Here are 2 new ways to paint your nails and a sneak peak at my nails this week!

Grey Days

Matching the weather, I called it a grey day. By sticking with one color, you can streamline your silhouette.  To step it up a notch I paired a Kohl's necklace and bracelet that I got for my birthday with this transparent blouse and matching cami. Whether you want to look taller or just catching the elevator try a monochromatic look.

Dressing to the Maxi

Keep you maxi dresses out this fall season and pair them with a relaxed blazer and a belt to start dressing to the maxi.

Fall's Hot Hues

Which of falls hot hues will make its way into your closet and into the office this season? Will it be Mustard, Colbort Blue, Rust or Green?
