So I’ve been playing with this idea ever since I visited the Brownstone in January. While there, the salesman squeezed me into an adorable jacket that gave me even more up top than I already have. I stammered that I didn’t think it was made for me, but he disagreed. “You’ve got to work it!” he exclaimed. Maybe he just wanted the sale, but maybe he really meant it. Either way, it made me realize that different people have an entirely different idea of what looks good on us.
Given this realization, wouldn’t the following formula be fun?
1 full-busted woman who needs a look (going out, work, interview, holiday party, etc.)
+1 store
+3 stylists assigned to create their version of the look from what is available in the store
= 1 blog series with great ideas of what we can wear and find in the stores right now
For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been working on a variation of this idea with Silfath Pinto. Instead of three stylists and one look, she’s been one stylist coming up with three looks for each of two key pieces in Gina’s closet. Be ready to be inspired in the next few days!
That is so true. My mom and I have very different ideas about what looks good.
She likes me in loose tops with horizontal stripes. I don't know why! I like a tight fit and always buy t shirts in size small and x-small and just force them over my chest.
She likes to wear calf-length skirts which I hate the look of, it always looks to me like the skirt was meant to be knee or ankle and it just doesn't fit.
Fun! I've noticed that concept a lot too, and I often feel like I'm much pickier than a lot of people when it comes to fashion details. Looking forward to the post!
