How dressing for success can give your career a makeover
Description
When so much of communication is nonverbal, your wardrobe plays a huge role in that. On this episode of Money Glow Up, host Tiffany Aliche spoke with Harlem's Fashion Row CEO & Founder Brandice Daniel about how your workwear can help or hinder your career. She told Aliche that, "That means that you're speaking the moment you walk into a room. You're saying something, by the way, your posture is by your eye contact. By what you're wearing and how you feel and what you're wearing." If you're looking to signal to your bosses or a future workplace that you are a good candidate, let them judge the confidence that comes with wearing something that makes you feel good.
Daniel went on to also offer tangible tips to affordable and appropriate fashion—even with ways to avoid fast fashion. "If you want inexpensive fashion, I prefer for you to go thrifting and get it tailored than to shop fast fashion," she explained.
Tiffany Aliche creates a space to share real and inspiring money stories, learn financial fundamentals, and build your future. Step into the classroom with Money Glow Up with Tiffany Aliche—aka The Budgetnista—to jump-start your financial journey.
