Yesterday, Rep. Stacey Plaskett was articulate and well-spoken.  But, there was one distinction that stunned audiences; her BGL Belted Caped Dress.

She appeared during the Impeachment Proceedings wearing a beautiful, professional look; strand of pearls, caped dress, and nude pumps.

When I work with personal styling (or shopping) clients we sit down and perform a color analysis, discuss hairstyles, make-up application, and wardrobe building. 

Most importantly, we talk about the importance of creating a personal style and what does it communicate. 

Rep. Stacey Plaskett’s style demonstrated loyalty, honesty, and power!

Twitter followers tweeted commentary and the masses have spoken!  To purchase your own Blue Caped Dress click here:  Neiman Marcus
