Is Power Dressing a Thing?

I most definitely think so. And I will continue to think like this until the end of time. No matter about fashion, trends or even style. Because power dressing my friends, power dressing is not about style. Power dressing is about Making Statements. Memorable and Strong Statements.

Here`s the dictionary description: Born in the second half of the 1970s and developed in the 1980s, power dressing is a way of wearing clothes which enables women to establish their authority in a professional and political environment traditionally dominated by men.

When Fashion Tribes invited me to be their first personality to represent a style and they`ve chosen the Elegant vibe for me, I started scrolling this hip online mall and discovered the outfit I`m wearing today. Got a little psyched about it. It makes me feel strong and towering. And the fringes are just the right touch of glamour. Styled it with a lady like bag and sensual heels. Just to add that `I`m strong but I adore being a woman` vibe.

Not to be confused with women trying to look like men. Personally, I find power dressing quite sensual. And each time I power dress I feel on top of my game. This whiner demoiselle role is not my thing. I`m a self made entrepreneur, I have to be tough (no, not rude, arrogant or bitchy – although this bitchy part comes in handy from time to time), I like to make business, I like to feel empowered and no matter how much I adore long dresses (btw, stay tuned for my latest countess dress discovery) nothing brings my inner Margaret Thatcher to life than a power outfit.

Yes, power dressing is a Thing and it`s pretty simple why – Because powerful and successful women are starting to become more and more of a Thing nowadays. And for a feminist like me (do not add extremist tough), that`s awesome!

Thank you Fashion Tribes for helping me find the coolest power outfit.
