Dress for Success, the title of John T. Molloy\u2019s 1975 book, introduces the concept of dressing for success to empower professionals.[1]<\/a> Nancy Lublin founded the non-profit organization Dress for Success in 1997 with a $5,000 inheritance. She started her mission to provide professional attire to women in a New York City church basement.[2]<\/a> Now in over 140 cities and 20 countries, dressing confidently makes a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wife of noble character chooses strength and dignity as her attire. Founded faith, her confidence comes from the Lord, who gives her everything she needs to fulfill her purpose. When we have a firm foundation in the Savior, He guides and directs our paths. We know which steps to follow because He shows us, so we don\u2019t hesitate to keep moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we clothe ourselves in does matter. Dress for Success\u2019s popularity illustrates the impact our clothes have on our attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPut on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colossians 3:12-14<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God gives us our wardrobe through Christ, who gives us strength and dignity. When we put on the characteristics of Christ, His Spirit helps us wear them well. As we cloak ourselves in Jesus more and more, our strength and dignity will grow, and we will laugh at the days to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victory comes from the Savior; no one can stop the Lord from unfolding His will. Trusting in Him gives us all the tools we need to do the work He has for us, all while laughing at the days to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
