The Look: 80s Power Suits

Hey #gfriends!

Today, we’re serving up our 80s Power Suit edition. Before I begin on details, let me give you some background on our thought process.

We needed to take professional and business pictures for both this website and our social media, we search good ol’ Pinterest for ‘Empowering’ looks. Specifically, styles that would embody and tell the story that we’re strong, hard working and determined to get on the road with our business. And, so we settled on 80s power suits.

How we created the look once we found inspiration:

1) Neutral earth tones

2) Big hair, bold lips, minimal face make up

3) Props: stationary and business like items

4) Played around with our glasses and sometimes without to continue the studious/serious look
