Too often we focus on the things that are weigh us down and are all wrong.  Especially today it is easy to get caught up in a world of dispair and ill-fated choices.  When you begin your day why not think about the 1 thing that will make you look at yourself in a new way.  It is the power of ONE thing, and it is a powerful thing.

Think about Sara Blalkely, the originator of Spanx.  She invented the “Power Panty”.  If you have tried them, you know how powerful they are in smoothing your bumps and curves!  How about your “Power Suit”?  Isn’t that the suit you wear when you go into an interview or need to feel in control in a selling situation or presentation?  Then there is your “Power Color”, the color that makes you look and feel your very best.  It can also make you look 10 years younger just by reflecting the right color against your skin.

Finally, never underestimate the power of accessories.  Both men and women can show their style personality through accessories.  Ties, pocket scarves and even shoes or jewelry are just a few ways for men to release the power of one good thing.  Women have greater versatility with accessories.  This season, consider adding color to your accessories to create a new look.  Pull in the season’s best color for you in a handbag, match a scarf with it.  The power of one color will unify and personalize your outfit to make it uniquely yours.  So, when all else fails, don’t forget to accessorize and remember the Power of 1 Good Thing and make you glass always “half-full”! 

….look good, feel great, and have fun doing it!…
