No Mother No Mirror

SYNOPSIS

Trisha Morrison, and Robert Woods "No Mother, No Mirror" was written on the premise that dressing well is a skill that has to be learned, and not one that people are born with. First impressions are everything. People never seem to forget their first impressions of someone, and if it's unfavorable? it takes another seventeen encounters with that person to erase the first impression they had of you. Fully illustrated, researched, and reader-friendly, their book provides information that should win everyone that ever-important first impression. "No Mother, No Mirror" will get even the most introverted employee, student, or businessperson into the main stream of the workforce by teaching him how to shop, select, and dress for success. Their book will help employers come to grips with the true meaning of "dress down Friday's," and what a company actually means when it tells it's employee's to lose their "suited ? look."

Whatever you need can be achieved through your style of dress. We can all gain our very own "personal edge." We need only know, and truly accept our nature given body by selecting clothes that enhance our positives, and distract from our negatives.

"No Mother, No Mirror," is not a book about building a better relationship between you and your mother. It is not about finding your perfect soul mate, and it's not about choosing a better career. It is about getting ahead, and staying ahead, of your competition in the workplace by wearing clothes that better define you, and clothes that highlight your company's mission.

Trisha Morrison and Robert Woods are teachers ? the ones who always want to make everything right. This book will help you get out of those college duds (that meant clothes in the 60's) or those "stay at home mom" leggings and oversize tops; or dad's old "hand-me-down" blazer, and get into the game of professional dressing. This book will teach you how to make money by putting a higher value on the personal you? a value that your boss will be willing to pay for, and a value that those around you will be inspired by. "No Mother, No Mirror," gives you a "personal edge," an edge that will reflect your new style of thinking, and dressing. You will be inspired to be your best, because you will look your best.
