Putting a Name On Your Style…
Classic Conundrum
Is there is such a thing as classic
dramatic? I am trying to update my
look, but I feel as if I'm still
dressing too trendy for my age (32).
I like the look of a classic crisp
white button-up top with a blazer,
chunky jewelry, and black slacks for
work. I love that look! However, I'm
not sure how to keep within those
lines? Can you help me refine this
style? Help!!! (New Rochelle, NY)
 Classic
dramatic? I'm sure you can find that
down an aisle at Blockbusters!
Sweetie,
discover a style that makes
you feel great about yourself rather
than assimilate to some kooky
way of
conforming. The eighties may be
making a
fashion comeback but that
oddball nomenclature marketed to
describe one's style of dress
(please don't even try to ask me
about
color seasons) is far too
dated and restrictive- particularly,
for someone of your years.
Frankly, I think a blazer-- please
no gold buttons-- and a white shirt
can be pretty boring unless they
have a
great fit and cut. But, I
have a feeling that the kind you are
talking about are those boxy,
shapeless blazers and pleated
slacks, worn with frumpy white
shirts.
Why am I such a fashion physic?
Because that's usually what women
who loooove chunky jewelry put
together… it's called safe! Say no
to cookie cutter fashion
stereotypes!
There's nothing wrong with pants and
a jacket, just be sure they are the
right ones with a modern cut and
pizzazz! When wearing your bold
jewelry, just wear one accent
piece-not a matching bracelet,
necklace, and earring set! Add a
pair of bright feminine slingbacks instead
of ho hum loafers or plain
pumps-fashion is about combining the
unexpected!
Reach out and
expand your style. Get
a
good haircut while you are at it!
If you think this look is too trendy
for 32, you really need to go out
and have some fun--- your fashion
sense will be a whole lot more
lighthearted.
