Fine To Fabulous For Fall
Diane Pollack
As we prepare to transition, my client, a 60+ woman, wanted an updated look, incorporating trends that would still be appropriate for her. She purchased these adorable leopard print drawstring pants, but needed to accessorize them for a more stylized look.
Before
Top - It is a neutral, so it does "go"; however, the color was a dirty mocha that did not really pick up the warm Brown or Caramel in the print. The shape and style were also OK, but only OK.
Bag - Black is a perfectly fine choice for this outfit. However, this bag was just a plain nylon bag, no style, with a strap that was neither "here nor there" in length and did not look expensive.
Shoes - Although leopard print with red is a fantastic combo (also great with Orange, Coral, and Burgundy), these shoes were not doing it. They were too clunky for her. The foot-bed style shoes are tagged as “ugly fashion”; This means, unless you are a young Fashionista type, BEWARE. Hard to be worn well by the everyday woman (myself included).
The update
Top - The tee is a classic style, fitted, to balance the baggy pants, but not too clingy. Tucking in gives a more flattering look to the mid-section.
Bag - A warm Tobacco that really brought out the neutrals in the print. A structured boxy shape that is happening right now. Nice gold hardware that makes it look classy and expensive. Style-wise, it also has a nice jungle safari vibe to go with the print.
Shoes - A light Caramel color that blends well with the print. A classic thin "T" strap and a very tiny block heel.
Necklace - Accessories, such as a statement necklace, really take a look from fine to fabulous. The necklace, breaks-up all the black area from a high neck Tee. This outfit is best with a warm metal ( Gold, Antique Brass, Rose Gold) to play back to the Browns and warm colors. It also matches the hardware on the bag.
