Warning: you could be seen as too casual and not serious enough about your job. Remember to dress for the position you aspire to be in not the one you are currently in. Your overly “plain” style may leave you to be unnoticed.
Tip: Introduce some darker neutrals as anchor garments in stiffer fabrics and more tailored lines.

Mostly B’s: The Romantic

You love wearing loose-flowing, romantic tops, skirts, and dresses. Ruffles, lace, chiffon, pleats, floral prints are all wardrobe staples.

Warning: you could be seen as too “girly” and not taken serious enough specially in a dominant male environment.
Tip: Don’t put all the elements together e.g. ruffles, sheer fabric, pleated skirt, pastels. Use on or two of these and anchor with a tailored, darker neutral garment.

Mostly C’s: The Classic
