Important information on proper, professional
dress was givento students Tuesday night in a fun,
new way. "What Not To Weatf," this year's Dress
for Success Fashion Show; effectively and enter-
t^iningly showed students hqw<to correctly dress
for different professional situations.
"We worked hard this year to*' change it up,"
Darla Doty, Director of Career Services, said.- "Our
goal was for students to have a" good time but learn
something about professional dress and what is
appropriate jh certain situations."
This year marked the third annual Dress .for
Success'program at Tarleton State University. The
event was held Feb. 28, at 7:30 p.m. in the TSC Ball-
rooms. Even the Purple P09 came out to see the
show.
This year's event was sponsored by Student
Leadership Programs^ JCPenhey, the Thompson
Student Center and Career Services.
The show started out with clips from last year's
fashion show and some scene$ from TLC's popular
TV series, "What Not To Wear."
A short film followed, showing the "bad choic-
es" two students made in their clothing for dif-
ferent professional situations. The two students
from each situation would then enter the runway,
revealing their "make-over" to the appropriate ap-
pearance.
Fashion consultant Becky Williams came onto
the runway to explain the best clothing and behav-
ior for each situation that was cohered. The show
covered three situations: picking^ip job applica-
tions, job interviews and setting the example while
on the job. . \ ,
Travis Stilwell, Stephenville High. School Prin-
cipal/was the guest.speaker. He discussed impor-
tant things for students to remember* when they are
heading out info the work place.
The fashion show also resolved a few confus-
ing dress codes:, "business professional" and "for-
mal wear." Students learned what was correct for
each and how-to make the right differentiation.
Students left the ballrooms with knowledge of
"What to Wear," as well as door prizes.
"This was an awesome experience," Stacy
Raney, junior business management major, said.
"It was my first time being here, and 1 will defi-
nitely be coming back next year."
