Berlin, Germany:  A more 'serious' image can further one's career in IT, especially since employers 'judge' new employees, typically, in the first three seconds that an employer sees a prospective employee.  Ms. S is a focused, organized, and get-down-to-business type, but her image was not portraying that style.  For her, a monochromatic color theme, blonde hair highlights to blend with the gray, an updated haircut, and a no-fuss streamline style, including new Jill Sander eyeglass frames, keeps it simple, serious, and shows off the person she is inside - instead of someone she is not.
