Individual Twist: Carrie’s “You Look Great!” Fashion Tip
I am starting a weekly fashion column called “You Look Great!” I learn from people who…look great. Style matters. Style teaches. Be curious.
At one of our pilot Style Statement workshops (stay tuned! we’ve got lot’s in the works!) Kelly showed up looking chic and confident.
Why she looks great:
1. Nothing is too bulky. Clean line from top to bottom; narrow trousers, light feminine cotton camisole and fitted H&M jacket creates a seamless look.
2. Color palette is similar hues. Muted grey and black works with the softness of off white and cream.
3. She has an individual twist. Her hair is twisted into small pin curls – it shows she has a personal edge. Her shoes are sexy – and comfortable – she doesn’t look like she’s trying too hard.
4. She LOOKS comfortable. What she’s wearing doesn’t get in the way of her life. She could pick up groceries and her kids in this outfit. When someone looks comfortable with themselves that radiates confidence…and that always looks great!

What a great idea for a column. I’m looking forward to reading more! And I love the concept that “what she’s wearing doesn’t get in the way of her life.” Thank you for the inspiration!

It has to be said that Kelly showed up looking like this after spending the day with a two six-year-olds and two TWO YEAR OLDS. Fro real.

That would be “spending the day with two six-year-olds” and FOR REAL. See? It freaks me out just thinking about it – so much so that I can’t write properly!

I love this idea for a column. Concrete, specific examples are so helpful to me. I can imagine the same kind of idea working to illustrate how one’s Style Statement might be expressed in their home or a gift or a million other ideas. Love,love,love any and all ideas that help me make my SS stick!
