One key to maintaining your confidence is having a style that you know works with your life and tastes, and sticking with the go to accessories that you know you can depend on to look good. The first step to having confidence in stressful situations is to stick to your basic style.

Interviews, presentations, and even scary situations like court dates are things that everyday people encounter, and they're stressful enough without worrying about whether you look put together. The fit of your clothes is also extremely important. Life isn't always fun and games. While there may be certain dress code rules you have to adhere to, you do not have to abandon your basic style ethic to succeed in a stressful event. We all go through difficult situations where we want to feel confident. If you have a breezy, California look, and a wardrobe full of flowing skirts, simple tops, and sexy sandals, don't try to do a 180 and go into a stressful situation looking like Daron Collins from her Dynasty days.

If you're always adjusting sleeves or shoulders, or if your waistband pinches, you will not be comfortable, and you'll be preoccupied with something other than the task at hand.
