Gallery: What message does your outfit send?

Somewhere during your grown-up years, chances are you'll have the opportunity to attend some sort of networking event. And, while you could go with the resume tee, in some professions that might not go over all that well -- you need to find a more polished, professional look.

However, before you throw on your trusty old suit, think about the message you want to send. Just as the type of attire you choose (suit, dress, etc.) says something about you, the color you choose sends a message to prospective contacts and employers. Check out the gallery to see what impression different colors make.

While you're out there charming the crowds with your sparkling smile, lovable laugh, and wonderous wit, make sure you are armed with calling cards. Don't rely on your boring business cards from work because really, do you want that darling boy in the black velvet jacket to know what you do during the day? Right. So here are seven ways to make sure he or she calls you, and a few that are insurance that they won't. (Click through on the images for shopping information.)

Sunday - Moo cards are a new customizable option that allows you to print photos from your Flickr account on a slightly slimmer card than usual. For $19.99, you get 100 cards, and they dont' all have to have the same image, you know because some of them have a picture of you (give to the boy) and some of them have a picture of you and three cats (give to grandma!).

Monday - Fabulous! An appropriate name for a stationary company whose pre-made designs are absolutely fabulous. The color palettes are intersting and the designs are some-modern, some-retro. A set of 100 cards is $55.
