Is there a television or movie character who represents your Ideal Style? Right now, Robin Wright’s character on House of Cards, Clare Underwood, represents mine: streamlined, down to business, and unmistakably feminine. Even though there’s no way that D+ boobs could squeeze into the costumes you see below, these fitted styles look amazing on full-busted women when there is enough boob room.
I also like Carolyn Desrosiers’s observation that, as a minimalist, Clare “accessorizes with interesting necklines, rather than jewellery.” I’m a convert to the importance of balance points, and it may be that Clare’s necklines fall at hers. I’m thinking that it could be worthwhile to experiment with interesting necklines rather than depending on necklaces and scarves to do all the work.
Given my adoration of everything in Clare Underwood’s closet, it surprised me to be drawn to another style model in Lilyhammer. I’ll tell you more about her on Wednesday–she’s the exact opposite of everything you see here.
As I’m sure you already know, each Hourglassy writer has her own particular style. Last year, Tina shared her style inspiration from The Good Wife. I’d love to hear who inspires our other writers . . . and YOU.
I love her style! If I worked in an office I would totally love to dress like that. Yes, necklines are incredibly important, especially for busty women. I tend to keep any jewelry simple and as an accent to an outfit, though it can be fun to do the opposite.
Ha! Style-schizophrenia is just my topic. 😉
I love the outfits for the character, they not only fit the character but are also rather stylish. I especially liked the boatneck. It always makes me a little sad, that most of these clothes would not work at all for a busty woman like me.
Her style looks amazing but for me it’s a bit too unpersonal. This characters look is inspirational and I once tried to be like this but it did not work for my rather strong and cheeky character. So my style idol is Kalinda from Good Wife, well a mix between hers and Diane’s styles is what I would love.
