Tracy Gold was the guest speaker for this month’s woman at work event which was held at the Glenvista country club.  A little more info on Tracy:

“Tracy Gold is the founder of The House of Tracy Gold, a fashion studio established in 2003 that carries the Tracy Gold and HTG Exclusive ranges.  As the head designer, wardrobe planner, personal stylist and fashion writer, Tracy’s fashion philosophy takes a holistic approach and her passion is to assist women to create their own individual style that reflects who they are.  Due to her experience in a number of related fields, including interior design, the natural health industry and working as a group-work facilitator, Tracy is sensitive to the age, body shape and attitude of her clients.  This enables her to assist them to dress in a style that matches and compliments their unique personality and life stage.Tracy recently opened her Johannesburg fashion studio at Triba where she offers personal consultations and free fashion days.   She regularly hosts workshops and presentations in South Africa that address topics ranging from “How to lose 5kg just by getting dressed in the morning” to “Presenting the professional image of your company”.Tracy regularly appears on TV and radio and is also the resident fashion expert and columnist for Women24.com, Spice 4 Life, Destiny Connect.”

She told us that instead of dressing to hide your so called “problem areas” to rather dress to disguise them.  When you dress to hide a certain area of your body, the only thing you end up doing is accentuating it.  So in reality you are making it look bigger…  When dressing to disguise an area of your body you should be dressing to accentuate something you do like and shifting the attention to another part of your body, you are effectively “disguising” the part you don’t like as much.  Tracy Gold then also did a mini-makeover on the spot, and after a brief description of my style and profession she dressed me in a totally different outfit (which I would have never through of myself) and all the ladies attending the event loved it, so she obviously know what she’s doing

Zephne from Silver Lining Functions spponsored the decor and let me tell you the venue looked absolutely stunning!!!  Everything from the silver “under plates” on the table to the pink candles floating serenely in a vase was expertly done. 

Woman at work is the brainchild of two very good friends and business partners Toni Mackrell and Tanya Dimas.  After attending various networking functions all over Johannebsurg they found the need existed for something similiar in the South of JHB and so woman at work was born….

Toni & Tanya, thank you for a wonderful event, as always, and we look forward to your next networking event at Thaba Ya Batswana with Jess Ford as your guest speaker!
