Ideal Presentation
In my fantasy, I see a woman who presents herself perfectly. No matter what the occasion, she is always appropriate. She gravitates to dresses and skirts, feeling more powerful somehow when she feels more feminine. She chooses pieces that accent her narrow waist and long legs, including a wide black leather belt and a pair of red stilettos with a hidden platform. She likes oversized rings and cuff bracelets, but never together. Her professional style is powerful and womanly, leaning just a smidge across the center into formality.
Her version of casual is built around cashmere and dark denim, and her hair is sleek and unfussy. She likes heavy eyeliner and a bold lip, but always chooses one or the other. Getting out of the house on time each morning is a bit of a struggle, but you'd never know that looking at her, climbing out of the car smoothly, scarf draped just so, leather-encased hands wrapped around a travel mug of coffee.
If she were to drink a cocktail, it would be something timeless and classic and built around gin or vodka, but it certainly wouldn't be in public. She seems unlikely to be bothered, but puts together an elaborate dinner for one every night. It might be nice to double a recipe now and again, but she's not willing to sacrifice the quiet of her evenings just yet.
She is somehow impervious and approachable at the same time. She guards her privacy as if it could be stolen and sold for profit, but she shares homemade baked goods on a distressingly regular basis. It is difficult to imagine what she must look like completely undone; a bare-faced, messy-haired, pajama-clad version of this women surely doesn't exist.
And under those carefully chosen and perfectly appropriate clothes, she wears impossibly sexy lingerie. It's just her little secret.

But you hate vodka.
I guess that means my Sue Sylvester look is just not 'in' :O
