Make a Stylish Move in Color- Kirsten Dunst Did, Here’s how you can too…

I'll Have What She's Having: A burst of stylish color in my wardrobe because THIS yellow is far from mellow!

Pilates instructor needs fashion help to find a flattering fit: How to dress for an athletic frame

Let's help this Pilates instructor figure out what to wear to work to look chic and flatter her athletic build I have been a Pilates instructor for 15 years and constantly trying to find interesting and comfortable tops that flatter my figure and suit my almost Bohemian style. I'm 53 years old, 5'7', and weigh in at 155 pounds. I feel that tunic length tops work best on my figure, particularly ones that have rounded hems, long sleeves, and a boat neck or ballet neckline. I have a heck of timefinding these type of tops or even longer shirts with a shirttail hemline—it seems that they are always straight across the bottom. I just need tops that are long sleeved,

Take Khaki to the Next Level: Dress Tips for a Teacher

Khaki pants from asianscent.com
In Style- turn essential elements on how to update khaki pants Dear Sharon: I am an elementary Guidance Counselor. I struggle between being comfortable working with small children and looking professional for meetings. I like wearing khakis, loafers and a shirt, sweater or blazer daily.

What to Wear- Pretty professional office looks for a petite figure

Stylish and sophisticated business style that's office appropriate for a slim figure...  I would like fashion advice on styles and places to shop for professional looking clothing for a small frame. I am 25 years old and 5'6" tall with a well-proportioned, size 2 hourglass figure that's a tad larger on top. My problem is finding fashionable office appropriate looks in small sizes for my petite figure. The Juniors department usually carries small sizes but often the styles are unsuitable for the office and not cut for a more mature, shapely figure. The Misses department rarely carries anything below a size 4 or 6. I don't want to look like a "teeny bopper" nor do I want to look "old & frumpy".

Are bare legs ok in a professional environment? Avoiding a pantyhose faux pas

Are bare legs ok in a professional environment? Avoiding a pantyhose faux pas I just started a position, outside my home, for the first time in many years. I am working around men - very well dressed commercial real estate brokers. My location is in Carlsbad, CA, which is a somewhat upscale beach city. I was told by a female secretary in their La Jolla office that nylons are so out. Bare legs are in style even in a professional environment. True or untrue? Does one consider the season, the climate, or the location when determining what professional dress is? (Carlsbad, CA) Sorry, to tell you, but you are showing your age! Fashionably speaking, nude nylons have been out of

Male Makeover, Not… Offended by disgusting appearance of co-worker

I am slated to open an office in a prestigious location with a co-worker coming up in September. I have long had issues with his grooming, yet he seems completely unaware and when I drop slight and, at times, bold hints--he thinks it's a joke. I don't want to make you sick, but it's everything! This guy is going to meetings with the public and I am HORRIFIED. He is a walking dork: the same haircut with all the same cowlicks from when he was 5, long hair (with attachments) coming from his nose and ears, clothes that do not fit (pants too short and too old), chapped lips and hands, and spittle always at the corner of his lips.
