Selfies: ¿Afectan tu imagen ?

Selfie es un neologismo del inglés, empleado para referirse a una autofoto o autorretrato hecho por uno mismo con un teléfono inteligente (o smartphone), una cámara web (o web cam) o una cámara digital, para ser compartida, por lo general, a través de redes sociales o plataformas de microblogging, como Facebook, Instagram o Twitter.

Tomarse selfies puede ser una manera de promoverte en las redes sociales y de que te perciban mejor, incluso de compartir tu vida o promover tu carrera de la forma más moderna pero también puede ser la que te dañe tu imagen y provoque fastidio. Cuida tu imagen incluso en tus fotos, si es posible busca fondos limpios, pregúntate que es lo que estas proyectando con lo que publicas. ¿Lo que haces hoy te  esta llevando adonde quieres estar mañana?.

Es inevitable tener una imagen, cuida la tuya. Si tu foto de perfil de facebook , twitter, instagram es una selfie, considera que en esta época tus próximos jefes pueden acceder a tus redes sociales, ¿son esas las fotos que quieres que vean?, si eres independiente buscando una persona que invierta en tus ideas, ¿esa foto llamará la atención de tu posible socio?, incluso si solo estas buscando pareja o no cerrada a esta posibilidad, ¿dice tu foto que eres una persona con la que alguien desearía tener una buena relación?. Si no es este el caso es fácil tomarse 100 selfies más y cambiar las erróneas actuales por unas que valgan la pena y dejen ver lo que realmente quieres que vean de ti, acordes con tu realidad y tu esencia.

COLORS CAN SPEAK FOR US: THE POWER TIE.

Maybe you have heard on TV that corporal language speak for us, but did you know that colors do too? Even the color of your tie and suit can tell you a lot about what man wants to communicate. What are you trying to say? Whether you are trying to say it or not, colors can speak for us, and the people in the office surrounding us will catch these messages from the unconscious

Examples with your suit:

1. Gray: Modest, older, conservative. Especially good for that meeting with the oldest leaders of the company.

2. Blue: reliable, trustworthy.

Examples with your tie

1. Red tie: is the power tie, using this color projects confidence, capability, optimism, but when you mix it with a black suit and a white shirt you are communicating power.

2. Green tie: Sympathy. It sounds harsh, but if you work in human resources and have the obligation of letting someone go, you can wear a green shirt or a green tie, perhaps it will not erase the anger or the pain of the employee but it will give a silent message saying “ I know how you must feel and understand it”.

In conclusion, when choosing the right suit, or in this case tie for the office, always think about the image you want to project in the environment you are part of. It is not the same to be an artist or a publicist than a politician or a lawyer. You now can be aware about the message you are giving and the message you want to give.

TIMELESS TRENDS

Some things are not always in style, maybe neons are last season and hi-lo skirts are in right now. But what you need to figure out is which outfits are timeless and you know this by knowing what suits you best.

Timeless trends, I will give you a couple of examples:
(must-have in your closet).

1. JEANS : Designed to endure the work of gold miners since 1853. jeans were turn into fashionable pants by LOEB STRAUSS who changed his name to LEVI. Needless to say jeans are a weekend favourite.

2. ANIMAL PRINT: Used by cave women since 600 B.C  ... the truth is that animal print will never stop being trendy. I am not saying to overdo it, but don't throw it out, animal print is not FAD, it is a classic.

3. NAUTICAL LOOK: introduced by Coco Chanel in 1937 when she was photographed with a striped shirt and khakis, you will always feel classy and beautiful with it, and you can add a pop of color depending on your style... my first choices are RED and GOLD.

Remember interpreting the trends according to your age is not negociable, we need to remember our age, and i'm not talking about 60 or 50, I'm talking about 20-70, don't pretend to be somebody you are not and you'll take the world as your runaway.
