MEAGHAN SMITH PERSONAL STYLIST

Now that the Oprah show is no longer, this is one of the best make-under’s I’ve seen in a long time.

Before you scroll down, see if you can guess who it is.

Here’s a hint.  You might recognise her if she was wearing a swimsuit.

Did you guess correctly?

Pamela’s new pixie cut is a great example of how our hairstyle (and of course our clothes) can impact our style and the image we portray.

Contrary to old-fashioned, outdated “fashion rules”, navy and black can be worn together – and in fact – can, if done well, look incredibly chic.

No, it more than likely won’t work when you try combining your navy suit jacket with your black suit pants.  Chance are you’ll look like you got dressed in the dark.

But it will work beautifully with a black pencil skirt and a navy silk blouse, a navy dress and a black patent leather belt or black jeans, a navy sweater and a black leather jacket.

Give it a go.  It just might give you a few more outfit combinations from the clothes you have hanging in your wardrobe. Ones that you might never have considered before.

Keep in mind, it’s all about the shade of the blue and the texture of the fabrics.

Not wearing the best, most flattering styles, materials, underwear and lengths for our shape (no matter what our age or size) can make us start to think our body is different to what it really is.   It makes us focus on the bits we don’t like so much and forget about the lovely things.

For example, the wrong jeans can make you look like your butt is bigger than it is and the wrong sleeves can make you look broader and heavier through the bust.

In the photo above, did you notice this woman’s incredible ankles?

In this dress (and these shoes) they’re not being highlighted and accentuated at all.   All the attention is being paid elsewhere.  A different length for a start,  would make an enormous difference.

Are your clothes making you think evil, negative thoughts about your body…or is what you wear making you feel good about yourself?

This is how a nude shoe should look.

The shoes blend in beautifully with the color of the wearers skin and therefore become an extension of the legs, making them appear longer and leaner.

The focus becomes all about the person – their face and what they’re wearing – away from the feet.

Nude shoes are a great choice when you’re wearing something colorful or pattered. In fact, they pretty much go with everything.

Nude shoes elongate the legs

Tip: Keep in mind that there are so many different shades of “nude”,  so if you’re buying a pair of shoes to wear to a special occasion (maybe the races), you’ll need to consider whether you will be tanning your legs.  If so, apply some tan before you hit the shops so that you don’t end up with two very different shades of nude. (ie an orangey tan and pinky-nude shoe)

It’s not always easy, or even possible, to find the perfect match to your skin, but it’s always a good idea to aim for it (just like if you were trying to find the perfect color foundation for your face) and try and find something as close as you can to your skin color.
