MEAGHAN SMITH PERSONAL STYLIST

Viviana Volpicella, a Milan based stylist,  is the first in a new series I plan to regularly have on my blog, showcasing the personal style of different women.

Viviana’s style is all about color, patterns, unique accessories and attention to details.   How she rolls a sleeve,  how she mixes unexpected pieces together and how she expertly clashes prints.

But what I always take away from any photos I see of Viviana, is her beautiful beaming smile.  Without doubt, her best accessory.

For those of you who think you’re “too old” for skinny jeans, high heels or leather pants and/or skirts…Linda Rodin (with her signature long silver hair)  is 66.

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?

If you haven’t noticed, the lengths of pants are going up.

But not up to that ugly, unflattering three quarter length (remind me to write a post about that)  but just to where they graze the ankle – a la vintage Brigitte Bardot.

Like all styles, it won’t work for everyone, but give it try and see what you think.  Showing a hint of ankle bone can be incredibly flattering.

Are you embracing your inner French girl and the cropped pants trend?  (As I’m sure you can imagine, I certainly am)  

TIP Keep in mind long pants can be altered and made shorter or even just rolled up.
