Recently I attended a
women’s networking function at a law firm. Now even the word, networking makes
me cringe. It sounds so pretentious and artificial. So, in an effort to
introduce a little levity to the mix, I wore a rose colored dress and
psychedelic, zig zag pattered tights (photo below). This insertion of color in
the midst of a sea of black and navy blue suits caused quite a stir. Young
women, middle aged women, law partners and bankers, came up to me throughout
the evening saying things like, “I just wanted to meet you, you’re so
bold”. People said I was the “life of the party”, all because I
deemed to wear a colorful pair of stockings. I had a ball and maybe this act
will inspire other women to break out of the beige box and delight themselves
and others.
So..Resolution #3-
Try Networking in Color
