Press Page
I'm guessing that you're on this page because you saw BBC1's What Not To Wear on the 27th September, or you may have read some of our recent press articles. When I applied for the programme I had no idea that dressing for business would be such a hot topic and that so many other woman were having the same difficulties that I was having when trying to decide what to wear for that all important meeting or networking event.
Hopefully my very public experience will have given you some ideas of how to dress with more individuality whilst still being businesslike and professional. My past experience has been that you wear what you feel is appropriate for the occasion but quite often what you are wearing is what other people deem appropriate and is not always what you are most comfortable in. Comfort and appropriateness help to create confidence and if one of those is missing you are likely to feel less confidence. Now I feel comfortable, appropriate and confident in every business situation whilst still maintaining my femininity and individuality.
The video clips on the main pages of this site show more of the clothes featured on What Not To Wear.
I have always said that the true value of a PA is that no matter you want done your PA will know how to do it or know someone who can. And so it was with What Not To Wear.
