<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Since I have a fashion background, and currently selling real estate, it sometimes surprises me, that so many, still do themselves a disservice with their wardrobe and grooming choices... </span></div>

Your clothes signal to clients that they can trust your taste. That said, real-estate development is so male-dominated that women have to work harder to be taken seriously. Dress in a way that's distracting and you become easy to dismiss."<br /><br /><b style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">THE MUST-HAVES: </b>"A charcoal, black, or navy suit with a single pop of color—it's classic, with a twist. I'm an urban nomad, chasing taxis and navigating construction sites, so my shoes have to hold up. I live in these black Louboutins because they're not too high. And as I work 12-plus-hour days, I always slip on the Oscar de la Renta flats between appointments."<br /><br /><b style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">THE FASHION DISASTER: </b>"I was seeing a new property with a group of colleagues, and some of the young agents were wearing seriously short skirts. Afterward, the male brokers couldn't remember the address, the flooring, the finishes—only the minis."<br /><br /><b style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">DRESS FOR SUCCESS: </b>"When you're starting out and don't have a lot to spend, invest in a few fantastic designer pieces you can mix and match. With a starter suit from maybe Theory in charcoal gray or black—and matching skirt and pants for more mileage—you can still afford to go a little crazy with camisoles and colorful accessories from H&M."<br /><br /><b style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">FINISH THE LOOK: </b>"Keep makeup and jewelry simple. I tend to buff, not polish, my nails, but you can use a neutral pink like Essie's Ballet Slippers. I also wear my hair down to balance the masculinity of the suit."<br /><br />On Natalie Birinyi, left: Jacket, $690, Camilla and Marc; top, $275, White + Warren; pants, $245, Vera Wang Lavender Label; shoes, $310, Tory Burch; belt, $44, White House Black Market.<br />On Ariana Meyerson, right: Pants, $700, The Row; shoes, $695, Christian Louboutin; Meyerson's own jewelry and Gucci coat.<span style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /><br />Read more: <a href="http://www.marieclaire.com/fashion/tips/fashion-dress-for-the-job-you-want#ixzz2bZ5SjGGQ" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #003399; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Real Estate Agent - What to Wear to Work - Marie Claire</a><br />Follow us: <a href="http://ec.tynt.com/b/rw?id=dTtdRgANur3Pnoab7jrHtB&u=marieclaire" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: black; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">@marieclaire on Twitter</a> | <a href="http://ec.tynt.com/b/rf?id=dTtdRgANur3Pnoab7jrHtB&u=MarieClaire" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: black; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">MarieClaire on Facebook</a><br />Visit us at <a href="http://www.marieclaire.com/" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #003399; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">MarieClaire.com</a></span></span></span></div>

Let's face it - our financial situation in the US is dismal...but the Obamas just keep spending stupid money. Michelle on her ridiculously expensive sartorial choices, like the $6800 jacket that she wore at the opening ceremonies of the Olympic games. At least it was US made by J.Mendel - but can she try to tone it down a bit? It starts at the top - Obama prints money, Michelle spends money - what leadership!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Did you know that the wearing the color green is superstitious for actors? I did not - until doing a little research. It all began with Moliere...his real name: Jena-Baptiste Poquelin. He was a successful actor in the early 20's - and became famous with Tartuffe....mocking the church - his community was not happy. He went on to much further notoriety...During a performance before Louis XIV, he performed through illness, eventually collapsing suffering a hemorrhage. Hours later he died, in costume wearing green - which lead to this superstition...this is much more romantic the origins of the expression "Green with Envy" which the Greeks believed that jealousy was accompanied by an overproduction of the boile, lending a yellowish-green pallor to a victim's complexion.<br />

One of my favorite pair of shoes, was a purchase made at least 10 years ago....and they are still relevant today. After a recent move, where my husband relentlessly criticized me for having too many clothes, shoes and bags, I decided that less is more. Or at least I should get rid of shoes and clothes that no longer fit! These were always a bit too snug, which is why they were only worn twice. One thing is for sure, you can lose weight, but our feet NEVER get smaller - shame, but it's the other way around...</div>

Here they are - my prized Bottega Veneta Iconic Woven Pumps - yes they should live on forever - branding Eternal Chic - however, they will be living in someone's else's closet, and hopefully enjoyed.<br />
