As soon as a child is able to somewhat hold a conversation, he or she is asked what they want to be when they grow up. Early on the choices begin – lawyer or actor, doctor or musician, right brain or left. However the truth is, regardless of our chosen profession, engaging the opposite side of the brain enhances our work product and is the source of potential solutions. The same theory applies to your look and fashion.

If you are a left brain professional, your look must exude a focused confidence. However, adding a great pair of pumps in a chic color, stylish boots, a well-made animal print bag, a tailored leather jacket or statement jewelry stimulates the right side of your brain. If you are a creative right brainer who wants to reinforce the fact that you mean business, do your thing but make sure to “complete” the outfit by including one thing that pulls it all together. This could be a necklace, jacket or color.

Finally, regardless of which side of your brain is most developed, self expression through your dress is fun and empowering.
