CHOOSING staples for one?s wardrobe, then adding a hint of color ? pea green with muted gray, black and white ? is the perfect strategy for creating a subdued and simple corporate get-up that spells fun and creativity.

This is how Babsy Aragon, vice president of Philippine Airlines Mabuhay Miles, dresses up for travel and business. Her clothes are classic and uncomplicated. She sticks to one fashion rule: The clothes should simply fit her. Add that to great skin, perfect smile and you have a fresh look.

Aragon began her career as flight attendant. Seeing her discipline and exceptional interpersonal skills, management promoted her to training specialist, then to higher positions. A ?people person,? Aragon believes in having harmony with and empathy for others.

Beyond the corporate world, Aragon is into cardiovascular activities ? early-morning cycling thrice a week, alternating with 10K runs also thrice a week.

Work, and time with family and friends ? these make for a well-rounded life for Aragon.
