Dress for Your Day
I was recently out and about (like I often am) in New York City. This particular day looked like this:
Two morning meetings in different neighborhoods
A client shop, which means I’m going to be on my feet for 3 or 4 hours while being present with sales associates and the client

I score high in the Relaxed style personality, and it took all I could muster to be my usual upbeat, present self for the physically painful four hours. I had to take a cab instead of the subway to get to my dinner—and even then the walk from curb to cab was pain-stricken each step!
