* Simone's "OLD" look-Mum Jean and unflattering blouses. This blouse is doing NOTHING for her skin tone.*Below the "NEW" look-she looks classic, leaner and ready for the weekend!
Casual
This section is normally difficult for me because I don’t really believe in casual. I'm normally overdressed, so it was challenging to not throw another dress on Simone. I think it's important to help your client reach their particular style goals and not tyrn them into carbon copy of yourself. Simone loves to be comfortable, she often finds herself lounging around in LuLu Lemon and Yoga wear. I delicately reminded that Yoga wear is for Yoga:). Simone mentioned how difficult it was to find balance in her closet. She normally felt stuck when going out on dates with her husband because she always felt over dressed or too casual. I suggested that she search for affordable and stylish clothes again at Banana Republic and GAP. Simone needs to be very careful when choosing her casual clothes, though comfort is the main objective, it’s important that she stays away from huge sweatshirts and leggings. Her body type (Romantic/Endomorph) needs streamlined clothes so I suggested a nice pair of jeans (long and lean from GAP), collared shirts and a bright cardigans.
What can I say about cardigans EVERY WOMAN MUST HAVE A FEW in their closets. Totally versatile and perfect for Winter. Spring, Summer and Fall. I love cardigans in bright lovely colours and it’s a wonderful band aid to undefined arms. I believe you can never have too many black cardigans and that you should purchase them in the best material possible i.e. Merino wool/Cashmere. I chose this Teal for Simone because with her light complexion, because Teal is a fresh interesting colour and it looks amazing on women of colour I also want to break her out of dark shades which have the tendency to make her look sallow and sickly. I knew I wanted a white blouse underneath and putting her in a black cardigan, white blouse and dark blue jeans would be too 1996. If you catch my drift.

Her pants are boot cut which is flattering on her tall frame, I also chose to keep her blouse un-tucked to draw attention away from her rounder stomach. Though she doesn't have accessories on I suggested some classic pieces that can take her from day to night, accesories post to come!
Simone looks pulled together and fresh, I love how confident she looks in her pictures and it's lovely to see her blossom right before my eyes.
