Before & After



Ashley is a friend and client of my "What to Wear" wardrobe consulting. She agreed to let me snap a few shots of her in an outfit we found in her closet which is less than ideal and then, the better alternative.

The striped sweater does nothing but exaggerate her broad shoulder line, add bulk, and visually add width to her middle, while capris that pull show off her tummy. Her second outfit gives her a longer, leaner line because it is one color, dark (recedes), and it doesn't pull. The collar pulls our eyes up, and the deep V neckline does wonders for slimming and breaking up a wide area. I generally would recommend wearing full length pants to elongate even more, but if you're going to wear capris - this is the way to do it! An excellent comparison of same-category outfits that Ashley already has in her wardrobe! When she wants to be taller still, she's got fabulous heels, full length pants, and a dress that flatters via cut & color!

Thanks, Ashley!
