Some advice tips on how to dress for which occasion come with her job. When asked what to wear for a job interview, Karen said "While you can't go wrong with a suit, I say go a step farther and do five minutes of research on the company. Look at company photos and how the executive dress. If it's a relaxed atmosphere, while I wouldn't show up in jeans and a T-shirt, I also wouldn't get quite so buttoned up. Showing you did your research says a lot about you as a candidate and that includes how you dress."

Karen also says the best way to dress good is to do a complete closet overhaul. This means, making sure everything is in place and accentuates your figure. That will make getting dressed easy. It will also make you look ten pounds lighter. For more tips on fashion follow Karen in StyleLine Magazine.
