Have fun with the idea and ask all the girls to add their personal touch to the gift by individually choosing one charm for the bracelet.  Not only will the birthday girl appreciate the sentiment behind each charm piece but she will own an original piece of jewelry designed by her closest friends.   We have a &#8220;build your own charm bracelet&#8221;\u00a0section on our website, TinaTang.com.\u00a0 And, there are many other companies, such as Links of London, where one can build a bracelet.<\/p>\n<p><h3>Hi Tina,<br \/>\nI am in the midst of a career transition from the corporate world to the artsy fashion industry.  I have a few interviews lined for next week but after looking through my closet, I felt my current business suits are too conservative and could send a stodgy message about my personality to the interviewer.  What can I do to spruce up my exisiting suits?<br \/>\nPeg<\/h3>\n<p><a rel=\"lightbox[picture]\" href=\"\/files\/active\/0\/200708_TinaTangSuitbig.jpg?phpMyAdmin=b6e7070bd5fbb419ad8364bda928eebb\" title=\"Navy suit with colorful blouses\" class=\"galleryThumb\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/files\/active\/0\/200708_TinaTangSuit.jpg\n\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Navy suit with colorful blouses\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<b>Dear Peg,<\/b><br \/>\nYou are absolutely right in assuming your first impression\u00a0during your interview will be extremely important in showing you &#8220;get&#8221; what the company is about.  First off, I would recommend researching the company&#8217;s culture and then try to tailor your look based on the findings.  If it turns out you do need to update your look,\u00a0you don&#8217;t need to ditch those corporate navy suits.<\/p>\n<p>\nJust add some flare to them with fun flirty blouses and accessories.  Wear  color blouses to contrast the conservative suits and add on layers of jewelry.   From my experience, accessories\u00a0are so key to showing your\u00a0sense of style.\u00a0 Your interesting accessories serve as great conversation starters!\u00a0
