Stacy and Clinton! The Brits have my vote. S&C pale in comparison.

I agree. Trinny & Susannah rule!

I used to be the total tom boy. Total. Ask Erica. She pretty much fainted the day I wore pink.

I'm still not super girly. I don't like skirts or dresses. But, a frilly top, or lace can add a world of girly to an outfit. Cute shoes can add a world of girly too.

But I have to say, the few times I've seen you you were dressed girliyish.

I'm sure Allybell will be here shortly. I can see the radar spinning. SHe is the girlie queen.

I've been adding gobs of pinstripes to my wardrobe. Not sure why - just all the cute pants seem to be pinstripes.

I frequently have my mom shop for me, so I add my voice to those that suggest taking along someone who's good at it.

re WNTW (and that show changed my fashion life): I love Stacy and Clinton...the Brits are waaaaay too serious about it -- geez it's only clothes!

Anyway, I used to pretty much only wear black, and was overly-modest...now, well all that has changed! I threw my old rule-book out and now will try anything on. It's very freeing and fun!

Another vote for WNTW. They provide enough general tips and tricks to help out anyone watching, not just the person being made over.

I love that they talk about tailoring because there's this expectation that clothes should just fit off the rack, and if they don't there's something wrong with you. And they don't fit and that happens to LOTS of people. So now I don't have to worry that things don't fit just right in the store - they never will. I just have to find the pants that are long enough and fit around my butt and JuHee will shorten the rise and take in the waist.

At first I was upset when they replaced the other guy with Clinton after the first season. I didn't "get" Clinton at all at first. But now I think he's great.

One tip I got was if you like to wear sweats all the time then invest in nicer set. Still comfy but you don't look like such a schelp.

So much great advice here.

One rule I have is, Not too big...not too small.

Either is not flattering.

Did I miss it...are you looking for casual clothes, go out clothes, or work/business clothes?

Oh, another rule. Do NOT pull off the tags/throw away receipts until you are certain you will keep it/like it/fits. Make sure and decide/try it out/on before the return date expires. It SUCKS to have clothes you wish you'd returned in your closet and there is no reason you can't change your mind and take something back.

When you go back, you'll probably find something else, too.

Oh, and don't forget the right shoes. I would go for styles that are most comfortable to you...at first. Gradually work up to higher heels {if you want to}. They do make the legs look nice, I like the ones with the straps around the ankles as well as boots are back for the winter....

Mostly...

Have Fun!!!

For sure. :snap:
