Dress like You Have Inside Information…….Because You Do. By: Catherine Storing Catherine Storing This month we are talking about relationships. Since my column is about fashion, I decided to discuss how what we wear affects ALL our relationships. Every interaction we have is a relationship. When you buy coffee, you interact with the person who serves it to you (I prefer chai tea with coconut milk). If you travel, you interact with the airport security guard who checks your passport. You have a relationship with all those people, albeit short ones. How many times have you gotten a phone call with an opportunity and you were not dressed for the occasion? I'm guessing too many times to count. Did you know as women of God we should expect great things to happen? Read Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster to give you a future and a hope."(Amplified Version) Then you’ll know to always expect great things in your life. It is why every day I get up early and pamper myself. I take a long shower and wash my hair, slather on oils and lotions to prepare my body for an amazing day. I follow that with a fabulous outfit and make-up, whether I have client meetings or not. 29
