We have all seen the advertisements depicting people who work from home in their pyjamas, setting their own (minimal) hours, and other things that entice us to want to work from home. But even though you aren’t going anywhere, you should still remember that you are a professional.
Whether you’re hosting your own child’s party or attending one of their friend’s parties, it can be tricky to work out what to wear. Some children’s parties involve bouncy castles or other games where you need to wear something practical but still want to look your best.
Watching the 2012 Olympics got the nation going – the fact that it was right here on British soil was one thing, but you won’t be alone if you we’re amazed by the bodies on show either…and we’re not just talking about the male athletes.
The likes of Jessica Ennis and her Team GB counterparts showing off not only flat stomachs but their toned abs really got a lot of women talking, not least yummy mummies.
These days the frumpy and tired look just doesn’t cut it – and thanks to celebs and the yummy mummies of the world, being a mum doesn’t mean you can get away with not making any effort at all with your appearance.
But it can be costly – products, and time can put a lot of us off, when we really do need something to banish those dark under eyes, and dry skin.
Don't let what you are wearing stop you from enjoying your Christmas party
It’s that time of year again when the office Christmas party start taking over the workplace calendar. If you’re stuck for what to wear – or can’t find something that suits your body type, here are some tips to help you choose a dress that will help you let your hair down a little and actually enjoy your Christmas party (and there’s a video at the end, too, to help you choose the perfect little black dress!):
1. Bingo wing syndrome
Select outfits with half or three-quarter sleeves or wear a shrug, so that unflattering underarms remain unnoticed. For hiding really bad bingo wings, use a little pinched on shoulder with some ruffly fabric, avoid big puffball sleeves.
2. Thick neck syndrome
A v-neck black dress helps to divert attention away from the neck and elongates the body.
