Just me and the panel.

My suit rocks. I can't explain it but it provides a definite confidence boost. It's a black trouser suit (makes me look thin rarrr!) and usually team it up with some sensible looking heels (which are actually my favourite knee length boots hehe) and a button up blouse of some variety with just the right number of buttons undone . Makes me look scarily business like and efficient especially when combined with hair in a stylishly messy up do and glasses. hehe.

Make up is a no no. I don't wear it normally and I feel paranoid when I do. Equally, suit with a skirt would be a bad bad thing.

I know how to dress the part it's the rest I need help on!
