I’d love you to teach me to combine my style ideas.
I compare myself too much to others and am tempted to follow trends
How can I know what pieces go together
How do I create more interest and excitement in my outfits?
My biggest style challenge is dressing for my apple shape–specifically for tops that don’t emphasize my muffin top and yet don’t look like maternity tops.
I find I’m always wearing the same items – how can I get out of my style rut?
I struggle with not knowing how to combine clothes harmoniously and interestingly
And I thought – you’re not the only one – and it’s because knowing your body shape doesn’t tell you how to do this (and that’s what most people think they need to know to become stylish). Instead, there is so much more to this question and struggle to unpack.
Right now I’m struggling with my style I’m having chemo and then breast surgery- so thin and straw-like hair, weight gain from chemo and a future flat chest are taking over my style at present and I lack energy – any tips?
Biggest challenge is finding clothes I a) like in shops that b) suit my age and figure. Clothes are either super skimpy or loose-fitting which only makes me look bigger than I am.
Wearing a scarf simply adds bulk to my profile. Aside from waistcoats and jackets, is there any thing else I can do to reintroduce a little white?
When does your body shape change from one to another? What’s the turning point from an 8 shape to H shape?
I have recently gained some menopausal weight. Since I have always been very skinny, this is a challenge for me because I now have lost my style and do not know how to dress anymore.
I just don’t know how to transfer my style into something that fits and flatters my body.
Biggest challenge is finding clothes I like in shops that suit my age and figure.
I struggle with learning to dress a very short, kinda curvy (61kg) body with very short legs in a way that is not girly, looks good and powerful in flat shoes.
My biggest issue right now is finding age appropriate clothes
In This Episode 0.08 My concern is how do I feel stylish AND comfortable at work! I have a 1 hour commute, with some walking, and sneakers are not an option at the office… I am curvy, 5’6″ a UK 16 up (big bust) and a 12 down. So it is not easy to find…
How do I create outfits that respect my natural style, my soft cool light colouring and my curvy X shape body with the season of winter.
How do I feel stylish and comfortable at work – I need to be able to walk easily, but sneakers are not an option at the office, I’m also a very top-heavy body shape (2 sizes different top to bottom)?
My biggest problem with my style is that I seem to have lost it! I began dressing casually when I had kids and I just never seemed to get my flair back. I am also a theatre nurse so when I go to work I get changed into my “pajamas”. So I haven’t put much effort into how I look as I just get changed. I guess I’ve just lost my spark and aren’t sure how to get it back. I see lots of stuff I like but at 51 I’m not sure what works for me and I find it easier to just fall back into track pants/active wear.
If I wanted to put it in a nutshell, my biggest style struggle is overwhelm. I’ve been told that my colouring is Clear and deep winter, and true winter and bright spring and vivid winter and so I’m totally confused and then as far as body shape goes there are so many systems, from Kibbe to Trinny and Susannah (What not to wear) and so many more. I’m so confused I don’t know who to believe and what to do. I wish had the self-confidence to dress with certainty rather than always feeling confused about what is right.
In This Episode 0.08 If you want to wear analogous colours how can you get your colour contrast if you are medium-high colour contrast? 2.21 Silhouettes are changing in fashion and new proportions are key to looking current’…I’d love to hear your perspective. How can we stay true to our own personal style without being…
In This Episode 0.10 My lifestyle is very casual and my personal style is relaxed/romantic/classical. While relaxed is easy to style as casual. how do I add romantic and classical elements to my outfits? Do I use specific colors? Warm pinks maybe? Specific shapes in Jewelry or shoes? 3.38 Could you share about finding a…
The relaxed personality style report you sent to me is 100% me but little of my wardrobe reflects that. I have recently retired at 66. I haven’t really transitioned into my style from work clothes, dead easy to buy, Reiss and Hobbs and silk blouses, these still fill my wardrobe yet are unworn. I’m slobbing around in shorts and tees hirts or black leggings. When I pluck up courage to go shopping I can’t decide what to buy, I dislike buying on line as depending on brand and cut I might be an 8 or a 10. Often I am overwhelmed by choice. So really where do I start?
My biggest problem is I am short (1m58), curvy (but not curvy enough to fit in plus-size models) and that’s sometimes hard to find. Help
Footwear issues: what to wear with each kind of outfit? I can’t wear heels because of a bad back and I never know what type of shoe to wear that is both stylish and season appropriate (warm in winter. etc) and what kind of leg covering goes with what: leggings and socks, just socks, foot leggings, what? The regular panty hose is not warm enough for the cold winters in my region.
Your colour questions answered about colour palette, high contrast, matching shoes, and colour values.
I struggle with prints in general – what to choose. I’m a bit scared that they won’t work so I tend to avoid them. Any tips?
How do I dress practically and attractively, being comfortable but still in an interesting but not crazy way, so vibrant but not aggressive?
Why is it that I am tempted to follow trends even when they don’t fit my lifestyle or body type?
Why is it that even though I’m average height at 5’6” petite size tops fit me better?
I hate shopping. Cannot find my favorite colors and I find that clothes off the rack fit poorly. Any tips?
How do I improve my style consistency – some days I look great and others I feel like a slob
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. I don’t object to it in other, but my own style is more understated. I struggle most with hair and makeup.
I’ve no idea what is suitable for my age – which is 52 – I’d like to be more elegant.
I have too much stuff that I picked up on sale that is now so unorganized that I can’t see what I have. How can I organise my wardrobe?
I like too many clothes! I am a mood dresser, and sometimes have too many items!
How can I develop a core capsule for my style?
Help me transition away from a predominantly corporate wardrobe to more smart casual- retirement; and help with my colors as I move to grey hair color
I feel like my style is on constant repeat I find it hard to locate any variety anywhere not in my wardrobe or the shops How can I find something different?
How do I Look smart without being too formal?
I’ve been hiding in a very basic “uniform” for a long time and am nervous about showing who I am through style.
I’ve retired now and in my working life found it easy to dress smart. Now I’m more into dressing casual but I really don’t know where to start.
I need to find clothes that don’t emphasize my stomach or hips.
I suppose my biggest style challenge at the moment would be, what am I going to wear ?
I’m a retired person now living in Mexico, my greatest challenge is making the transition from the work wardrobe to the more casual, climate appropriate style.
The body shape challenge is crazy because of all the conflicting advice.
I sew and design my own patterns, so I can make anything happen. As soon as I figure out what “anything ” I’m aiming for.
I can’t find a bra that fits, the cup size is not right when I choose a larger band size to fit my more expanded waist. Any tips?
I really do not know what style actually suits me. I am over 60 approximately 5ft 6in tall have salt and pepper longish hair and a pearish body shape with short body , short waist and long legs I have gained weight in the past 12 months in the hip abdominal area and have a pot belly and lost my side/hip definition therefore I don’t know what to wear and I prefer trousers
12.48 My biggest challenge is that I live in the wrong climate for my style LOL!!
I’m currently living in the UK, but I like to dress in soft, silky, lightweight satiny lacy things as well as cute kitten heels and pointy shoes. I’m either always freezing to death or dodging puddles and mud.
I just moved here 4 years ago and tried doing the lumpy sweaters and rubber wellies but I feel so *UGH* in them.
I can’t afford a total wardrobe redo, but I need to get some “sexy” back in my closet!
