When the temperature soars or the humidity is high, being both stylish and comfortable can become really tricky, particularly if your body shape doesn’t suit the wafty, floaty, waistless styles of clothing that end up the most comfortable in the heat. So what kinds of tops work when it’s hot, when a waisted style is…
Reader Question: My biggest challenge is that my pants don’t quite fit properly. The size that fits best are just a tad small in the waist but the next size up is way too big all over. I like an outfit but I put on but then my midsection catches my eyes and it’s discouraging.…
I love books, which is why I was so attracted to work in publishing when I left university, and one of my favourite ever memories was the first time I walked through the warehouse at Penguin, seeing row upon row of stacks of shiny new books. The colours of the covers, the potential enjoyment,…
Today I have a couple of examples of A body shapes for you. You will notice that they can be more or less obvious, but that the low hip is where the widest point is (rather than the high hip of the 8 shape). Their shoulders are narrower than their hips (shoulders are taken from…
The I body shape is characterised by a long lean body, shoulders are similar to hips, though sometimes marginally wider, (but never linebacker). There isn’t a particularly defied waist, many describe themselves as boyish. Here are 3 examples. How to dress your I shape body: If you want to create more curves, look for volume…
Recently I’ve been asked to cover the topic of hip dips and how to dress them to make them less obvious. Hip Dips are also known as Violin Hips and are most common on the 8 shape, A shape and X shape bodies (but can come on any body shape). They are an indentation between…
In This Video 0.08 I want to learn better how to express who I am without being obsessed with my appearance and not to be invisible unless I choose to be. As an older women, it is easy to be overlooked, but I’m not interested in being dramatic as a means of countering that bias.…
In your busy life, it’s not uncommon to feel like you’ve lost your sense of style or that you never had one in the first place. As life gets busier and you prioritize the needs of your family and others, your personal style often takes a backseat. You may find yourself at the mercy of…
Do you have a wardrobe full of clothes that you wear but don’t love? Do you have a closet full of crappy clothes? Do you love some of your clothes, but many others are just “meh”? Do your clothes make you feel gorgeous, confident and express who you are? Would you like to create the…
Have you ever felt like your wardrobe is a puzzle, with pieces that don’t quite fit together? Or perhaps, despite your best efforts, finding clothes that truly complement your unique shape and style feels like a Herculean task? You’re not alone. Like many intelligent, professional and more mature (cough cough) women, I too have faced…
In this video: Why do pants pull across the crotch? Is it possible to incorporate dark jeans and pants into outfits when you have a light palette? Can you love style but still subscribe to a minimalist wardrobe? Pants Fit P is for Pants Why It’s So Hard to Find Pants that Fit The Best…
Recently I’ve been sharing some of my readers favourite blog posts, the ones they have found have really shaped their styles (Katie, Carol, Corey, Ruth, Kaira, Celine’s favourites) and it got me wondering what were the most read posts of 2015 by all my lovely blog readers? So I delved into my Google Analytics to…
In This Video 0.07 My challenge is that I’ve put on weight and no longer feel good in my clothes and find it hard to find anything flattering. 4.25 I’m upset with my hips because I dno’t get jeans of my choice and size – any tips? 6.38 Proportions – I’m not sure of the…
In This Video 0.08 My biggest challenge: Dressing up my relaxed style enough that I feel ‘put together’ appropriately for church, dinners out, social functions, etc 4.57 My biggest challenge would be the change in my body and getting older. I haven’t figured out how to dress my 30 pounds heavier, menopausal body. I hate…
Do you wonder if getting a tan will change your colour palette? I know it’s a question on many women’s minds as it’s one of my frequently asked colour questions. Plus what should you match your shoes to in your outfit? Your hair, your clothes and accessory? What are the choices? And finally, in the…
Dear Imogen, I’ve got some summer cardigans from H&M. My body is an I body shape. What would you suggest for wearing underneath cardigans? (basic shirt or a blouse or a tank top..) And how should the different body types wear cardigans, opened or buttoned? (buttoned gives a deep V, which perhaps looks lovely only…
Reader Request: I lack the confidence to trust my own judgment on style. Seems like I’m always trying to balance between comfort and what looks great and not sure whether I get it right. It doesn’t help that I’m often asking my husband who would say “you look great” if I was wearing a potato…
It’s funny how questions come in waves. I received two similar questions in my lucky dip of your colour and style questions. My biggest battle issue is how to dress a large stomach and a bigger bust without looking sloppy. The rest of my body is fine but I’m five foot one so short, petite…
