They Knew You Were a Woman When They Hired You; Don’t Hesitate to Dress the Part

Katie Couric, Don’t Fade Away on Us
Katie, this V-neck is so stark and black that it’s overwhelming. It’s also quite casual for your position. Tailored jackets really do suit you best.
Here you wear so little makeup and accessories that you blend right into the wooden wall behind you. These earrings are so small and insignificant that you may [...]

Ho hum – I do believe a grey jacket with a white blouse was “invented” by John Molloy decades ago in order to keep women from looking feminine. How about a white scoop-neck shell next time around, paired with an Omega necklace and bold earrings? You’ll look so “Evening News!”
