Have you heard of vision boards?

You know, those poster, foam or cork boards filled with cut-out images of things you want to have, be or do in your life. The idea is for it to be a visualization tool that helps to manifest your dreams into reality.

A new year is just around the corner, so I thought it would be the perfect time (and super fun!) to start a virtual vision board for our professional style on the job.

I am a firm believer that clothes are a powerful tool in business. We spend so much time and energy and passion engaged in our careers, so why shouldn’t we get all the help we can and use fashion it to its best advantage?!

That’s why I put together a community board on Pinterest. This is a place where you can pin images of how you want to look and feel in your professional life. It will be an on-going, shared, joint effort…a community of women, just like you, who also have a vision.

I’ll admit it…I’m busty. My bosoms are not as big as some, but they’re certainly bigger than others. Sometimes they’ve been a blessing and sometimes a curse. Honestly, I am just grateful my girls are healthy!

Can you relate?

So I get it! Large breasts can be a challenge to dress, especially on the job where your goal is to appear competent and feel confident.

For so many years we’ve been told big breasts spell trouble and many of us have grown to feel shame around a substantial bustline, but I for one, promote being proud of the body you are blessed with, so my approach is to package it with pride!

In terms of the science part of fashion, your main objective is to create overall body proportion and the most effective way to do this when you’re well endowed is to redirect viewer’s eyes to other parts of your body. It’s all about controlling where the ‘eye’ goes.

Above are some of my top tips and tricks for you to easily maximize your style. Lots of options!

Are there other anatomical challenges you would like specific tips and tricks on dressing?
