October 7

Dress for Success is turning out to be a great organization for me to represent. Their website has stories of people that have been successful because of the work that the people at Dress for Success have done. It is great information to use for my grounds because it really appeals to pathos. I also found a website that had a study showing that the way a woman dresses influences the job she will get especially when applying for a management position. This as well is great information to back up my claim. I am a little bit worried about my qualifier because I feel that it may go too far in going against my original argument. I think that I am on the right track to having a successful argument because I truly believe that nice attire influences the confidence of a person and can help make women more successful in life.

I am sad that I didn't get to hear your speech today, but I'm glad that it seemed to go well for you! I think it's interesting, but not surprising at all, that the way a woman dresses influences what jobs she gets. I wonder if it is as influential on the jobs men get.

I also agree that the way one dresses, especially when applying for a job, can effect confidence. What woman doesn't feel more confident wearing nice clothes?
