245: Colour and Style Q&A: Curated Wardrobe, Beige Outfit, and Creating a Go To Outfit.

Leave a comment

What challenges me is how to move from my existing wardrobe to a more curated style – especially with a restricted budget.
I have a really nice light beige dress pants and jacket that I really like to wear in summer. As an “enigmatic”, I tend to wear it with a darker top.
I was thinking it would be nice to get some more wear out of it before winter sets in. Would you have any ideas how to wear it? or should I just forget about it until next summer?
I love my taste in fashion and I have fun with it too. But, getting dressed for work in the morning is a real pain. I love looking put together and I have very nice clothes but lack the desire to take the time and effort to do so. Since my job is casual I mostly opt for activewear (cute activewear though). I wish for the motivation to wear those faves in my closet

I’ve got an O shape and carry most weight in belly and shoulders – I recently bought a ribbed cardigan that creates a V shape through the body – is this good for me?

A curved hem is good to flatter a belly – how do you know how curved and how high or low the front and sides should be?
Short torso with long legs – but large booty, belly and boobs – I find dressing my tops really difficult
My hair is bright white at the front however the back is ashy blonde and white My inclination is to dress for the front of my hair and not worry about the back. Is this a mistake?
