I really love this article. My family is involved in politics. I mean, chicken dinners involved, lol. So this is very interesting to me. I am reminded of the dress code for bankers... no Rolexes! No one wants to know that you took their money and bought a Rolex! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-women-in-politics-and-other-professionals#post-1877004 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 19:33:41 +0000 MsMary 1877004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!

What a great idea--to create a wardrobe capsule for women running for/holding political office. I just had time for a quick look, but it looks applicable to a lot of professional roles. I'll study it more later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-women-in-politics-and-other-professionals#post-1876871 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 15:53:13 +0000 Zaeobi 1876871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always look forward to Allie from Wardrobe Oxygen's posts! Don't know if you know her blog well, but she has a whole category for capsule wardrobes encompassing many different lifestyles (including ones such as how to dress professionally but with colour/ in the summer heat/ when you look young). Might be useful for those of you in these comments who are looking for more workwear capsule wardrobe inspiration </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-women-in-politics-and-other-professionals#post-1876854 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 15:12:31 +0000 SarahD8 1876854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super interesting! Adding my appreciation and applause for the efforts to get more women out there running for office.&nbsp;<br />I also think that this approach could be useful for many of us who need to dress up rarely -- at some point I need to think about a small "professional wear" capsule and I will refer back to this for sure.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-women-in-politics-and-other-professionals#post-1876848 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 14:45:33 +0000 Katerina 1876848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very interesting and very helpful,&nbsp;<b>Toban</b>, to read about your choices and reasoning regarding your various professional roles and activities! I am convinced that many different professionals would relate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-women-in-politics-and-other-professionals#post-1876845 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 14:33:51 +0000 Suz 1876845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the spirit behind this -- let's get more women out there, and it's easier to imagine if you have a wardrobe plan!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-women-in-politics-and-other-professionals#post-1876841 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 14:12:54 +0000 Aurore 1876841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is indeed a very interesting article for women in a professional environment, thank you very much for sharing it!</p> <p>The most interesting part for me&nbsp;is the one about getting dressed in a way that would help appearing "thrustworthy" to people with different backgrounds and cultures. It's something I usually struggle with, and such examples of capsules are of great help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-women-in-politics-and-other-professionals#post-1876840 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 14:12:38 +0000 The Cat 1876840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very interesting, Toban. I look forward to study the capsule in detail later. Just took a quick look now. Agree that it would be a good idea to add a skirt, a top and some accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-women-in-politics-and-other-professionals#post-1876831 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 13:50:22 +0000 Toban 1876831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really enjoyed the following blog post that resulted from a workshop for women in politics. It is very versatile and cohesive, and given the 30x30 challenge going on here in the YLF forums, I thought others might be interested in it, too. I think it's much more broadly applicable to women in professional roles that need a versatile and approachable/relatable wardrobe that runs the continuum from smart casual to corporate depending on day's agenda. </p> <p>This is the kind of capsule that I'm trying to base my weight loss transition wardrobes on. The issue of approachable/relatable resonated with me, especially at my mid-career stage where I've already established my expertise and now want to ensure that, for most day-to-day work events, I am 'approachable' and 'relatable' to more junior scientists so that they are willing to brainstorm, take changes, and initiate. I move to the more business-like outfits for invited talks and high profile meetings and like that they put mix-and-match rather than a matching pant suit for those purposes. I would add a pencil skirt, another top, another sheath dress, a pair of colorful block heel pumps, and a scarf, and I would be set for a season.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.wardrobeoxygen.com/2018/01/what-to-wear-woman-political-candidate-running-for-office.html">https://www.wardrobeoxygen.com.....office.htm</a> </p>
