This was fun. I met Rosine Kushnick through Linkedin. She is a dating consultant. In this video, we discussed visual impressions you might make on a virtual first date, on an in-person date, and beyond. How do you want to dress after many years of a relationship…and...

A casual night out… I absolutely love my Betabrand leggings. They are warm and so comfy! However, they are not my most flattering leggings. To create the look I want, I go oversized on my top by cabi and I do wide calf boots by Rockport. It gives the illusion that my...

I was asked by one of my followers to post about full figures. As I said in the home page of Your Wardrobe Studio… know the features to accent and which ones to play down. I have many posts in my full figures board on Pinterest. Click here to follow me on Pinterest...

I’ve gotten to the point where I put on a belt and then I opt out. I used to have a great waist and larger hips. Go figure! If you are one who has a good waistline, don’t waste it. Belt it. I am a fan of contour belts! They fit into your curves and they don’t ride...

I learned to tie an oblong scarf from Echo Scarves years ago. There are many ways to tie a scarf. I would say, this is the easiest and most attractive. Let me know what you...

Large square scarves can be cumbersome. This is an easy tip. Fold the scarf in half to make a triangle shape. Instead of tying a knot, which will be huge and awkward, try using a ring. I rarely wear this ring on my finger, so… I feel good that I am putting it to use...

One of my many social media posts asking my followers what their preference would be. Most chose the white blouse tucked into the jeans. The tunic model is very stylized. To me, the necklace is off putting. It competes with the embroidery at the neckline of the tunic....

When you look at the model on the left, she is giving you two color stories. Her hair and her skin tone call for warm colors. The hat is a bit out there to begin with, and the color makes it more ridiculous. Look at the brown around her neck…you can easily see that...

Mixing stripes…it’s fun and can give your look texture and interest. As you can see, I have chosen a striped bootie with striped socks to blend with the larger stripes in the top. How do you know if your stripes will work together? If all of the stripes were solid...

I have been in the fashion and beauty business since 1977. In that time, I have developed many opinions in that arena. People have often suggested that I write a book. I don’t think I am patient enough for that process, but I will share my thoughts with you. I have...

One National pink day, I posted this on social media. Follow me on FB and Instragram to follow my posts. Red and Fushia…a bold combination. I have always adored this color combo. It’s not for the faint of heart. If you are light skinned and have a pink base to your...

Gorgeous silver hair, right? She also has olive skin. Check out her face. Here face shows up when it comes to gray and black rather than with camel. Her skin tone fades into the camel. Camel would be ideal if she had blonde hair and she had a pink base to her skin....

Gray is intrinsically a cool color. It’s softer than black and it can easily be warmed up with soft, warm colors. Here is an example…gray with peach. An ideal color combo for blondes, redheads, or women who have a pink base to their skin tone. Try it and send me a...

I absolutely love her look. But the shoes… do you like them? I did this as a post on FB. There were many opinions on the shoe choice. No doubt about it…shoes change the visual message. I do not like the model’s choice of shoes. The straps are not flattering on her....

It’s important to know your audience. Yesterday, as I was dressing to do a makeup tutorial on zoom, I intended on mixing my CABI top with a former MK director suit jacket. I bought that top to go with jeans and this jacket. When I looked in the mirror, I knew it...

Change the shoes, change the jacket. Voila! My visual message has changed. I probably don’t have to say anything more. Looking at the photos gives you the total story. That’s the point. You give your impressions in the first thirty seconds someone sees you. If you are...

I am all about gray, black, navy and a pop of cool color… for me, with my olive skin. Love this photo of my beautiful friend Kate Quinn. She is rocking denim to go with her warm toned scarf… which she made herself! Fabulous look with red hair and pink...
