Summer Slim Down

Britt looks adorable in this cool summer dress and Gladiator sandals. However, she has chopped her 5'4" frame off at the ankle with those black straps! By wearing a similar style sandal in flesh tone, she has visually added length to her legs. The heels also extend her legs by adding physical height. Defining her waist with a thin belt has a slimming effect. She re-created her 5'1" appearance to an actual 5'7" and trimmed 15 pounds in under a minute!

Stripes for Spring!

Coco Chanel first made stripes chic - despite those challenging horizontal lines. If this bothers you, notice that the narrow stripes create a "ladder" effect, drawing the eye up and down. A jacket worn over the top can instantly divide a wide upper body. 

The traditional nauticals are usually found in black/white or navy/ivory combinations. Choose the one that best suits your complexion - even if you need to find a red/ivory version. You can also try Natalie's trick from the French and wear a scarf against your face! http://what2wear.us/Services.html

Emerald in March




Jewel tones flashed in abundance on Fashion Week's 2013 runways. You don't need the luck of the Irish to carry off this rich shade of green! Enjoy a fashionable nod to The Great and Powerful Oz, March, and Spring itself in Emerald, the color of the year!
