On this show they took a neighborhood of woman and transformed them into fashion divas with stylist Lloyd Boston.
Most of the clothing was bought at Kohls, Old Navy, The Gap, J.C. Penny's, and Sears for reasonable prices. Most outfits cost under $200 for several pieces.
Here are ten basic pieces to have in your wardrobe:
| 1. trench coat | 6. dark jeans |
| 2. black turtleneck | 7. black dress |
| 3. black trousers | 8. white or dark blue jean jacket |
| 4. tunic | 9. black skirt |
| 5. white jeans | 10. cashmere sweater |
Mention was made of a "wash and tell" fitted crisp classic white shirt:
Stacey Wallace Allen said that hers was from Brooks Brothers and you can get 2 shirts for $149.00 at their stores or outlets. The shirts are not available online.
Five ways to wear the white shirt (nude color bra underneath):
1. with a classic styled sweater
2. with a tunic and belt at the waist
3. with a long sweater and scarf
4. with a leather skirt
5. with a long evening skirt
Oprah mentioned that there is no such thing as "matchy matchy poo poo", you don't need to match a purse and shoes anymore.
Oversized bags and flats should be considered basic wardrobe staples.
Also, white can be worn anytime of year now.
A few other fast fix beauty tips to update your look:
1. No wearing caps wear a headband or high ponytail instead.
2. Wear a concealer, a multicolored blush, and lip gloss.
The Happy Scarf/ Happy Knot
Take a long scarf and fold in half.
Put on your neck.
Pull the loose ends through the scarf loop and tighten a bit but keep it a bit loose so it does not look like you are being choked.
Two accessories that make you look old and dated:
1. Over accesorizing -- don't look like a gypsy! Choose 1 or 2 accessories.
2. Wear hoisery at work to complete your office look and look professional.
Classic styled items should last you a while so it is money wisely invested over a term of time.
