This workshop provides an overview of fashion styles, tips for working with or augmenting your current wardrobe, and easy-to-implement techniques to build and maintain your confidence. Join us to discover self-empowering ways to look and feel your best. First impressions are made in 15 seconds or less. Since 55% of impressions are based on appearance and body language - image is an important job search tool.
