The Three P's....Pollished, Poised, & Professional
Whether you are looking for a job, a new position, or trying to get a promotion. The three P's can get you towards your goal.
So let's break down what the three P's do and how they look and function.
1. Polished- perfected or made shiny and smooth; "his polished prose"; "in a freshly ironed dress and polished shoes"; "freshly polished silver". That is the definition from the dictionary. In the simplest form polished in my opinion is well groomed and put together from head to toe. When I think of someone who is polished all the time is think of Kim Kardashian. Of course there are many others, but I chose Kim because she has perfected day and night looks, and she is one of my favorite celebs for inspiration.
So what makes a polished look. It starts with the right outfit, the right amount of make up, and the right accessories, shoes, bag , hair and nails well groomed for the occasion. The key is to dress for the job that you want, not the job that you have.
2. Poised -self-possessed; dignified; exhibiting composure. That was from the dictionary. My definitionwould be grace. This in my opinion because it takes a great deal of practice. Poised is to walk in a certain manner, speak in a certain manner, its the whole package of grace from head to toe. Another way to describe poised is pure confidence and class. So when I think of poised I think of one person. Our first lady Michelle Obama.
Somehow the first lady has mastered how to keep her look graceful even when she is dressed down. I believe this is key in the workplace once you already the job.
3. Professional- definition - Conforming to the standards of a profession: In my opinion, professional is the norm of the job when we are talking about dressing for the workplace. Meaning, dressing in a manner for the dress code, which in turn may or may not be professional. So, who do I think of when I think of professional? This is a trick question. What????? That's right I am my own example of professional. See I know how I want to look, I know the dress code, and I know what looks good on my body. Therefore, professional to you and I can vary depending on the dress code. However, I believe that everyone should have a clear understanding about what Professional is and how to develop your own professional style.
The point to all of this is simply to think about what inspires your own look.
