Thinking about reinventing your career image? If you’ve decided to work on your personal branding you may want to think about reinventing your overall image too. It’s one thing to stand apart because of an out-of-date or peculiar wardrobe and another thing to stand out because you’re great at what you do.

It is important to look the part that you perform, or want to perform when vying for a promotion. After all, the way you are perceived is directly impacted by how you present yourself. So, if you’re in the process of a career remodel, don’t ignore the importance your wardrobe image can make in setting the tone and creating a new you in the viewer’s eye.

Do you get lost in where to start? A good way to begin is by having your colors done. A color consultant can provide you with a tone analysis so you know which colors look best on you, which bring out your natural energy and which are your power colors (for those ‘very’ important meetings!). Check out Carole Jackson’s website and you may want to pick up her book(s) too; Color Me Beautiful and Color for Men, which are both full of great information – you’ll learn a lot about how color can enhance your image.

You’ll be amazed at how knowing what colors are best on you will impact the focus of your wardrobe and organize your shopping. For some a dreaded nightmare (unbelievable…), and for others a burst of joy (that would be me…).

Another enlightening step is to organize your closet in color tone. Light, to medium, too dark. It is a fairly quick process that will help you become more aware of what you have and what your needs may be when it comes to redefining your wardrobe. It’s really not hard at all and you’ll be amazed and how many things you never wear (because you forgot you had them) and how many things need to go into your ‘donate quickly’ stack. This is a great step to perform before any new shopping is done. See what you have that will work with your new look and see what you can add to.

So, having your color analysis done, redefining your look, and organizing what you’ve already got are three easy steps to begin reinventing your career image. Start today and see how great it feels to uncover a whole new you!
