The fashion editor in me always finds inspiration from my favorite magazines and this feature is an example. I found it in the pages of the September issue of InStyle. It’s one of those little touches that can give last season’s wardrobe a quick update and it works for every body type.

Michael Kors features the look in his latest collection:

A great tip for curvy ladies:

Purchase a men’s dress shirt with french cuffs and have your local cleaners fit it to your body. Wear the cuffs down with or without cuff links.

The TREND to indulge in is the chunky heel. For those of you who don’t necessarily like to wear a skinny heel, the chunky heel is a sturdier but sexy alternative. In a sophisticated nuetral or with stylized details there are plenty of options from expensive to inexpensive.

The Camo look is a fashion classic and the way you rock the look keeps it on trend. The folks at Style Code Live invited me to come by and talk about key items to make the trend contemporary and chic.

Look #1 – The Military Jacket + Black Dress + Stacked Bootie + Vintage Pins

The drawstring creates an hourglass silhoutte that accentuates the waist and brings a feminine look to an otherwise masculine jacket. The chunky heeled bootie works for women who may not want to wear a skinnier heel.

Suede Lace back bootie

Look #2 – The Camo Capelet + White Tunic + Slouched Pant + Suede Heel

The Capelet is a huge trend shown here in a camo print. It can be worn with a crisp white button down shirt, tunic, turtle neck, tee shirt or contrasting camo print. The Slouched pant brings an urban feel to the look accented with the sophistication of a suede heel. Don’t just wear the military look during the day, wear it in the evening as well.

Look #3 –  The Bomber Jacket + Tee + Pleated Skirt + Bootie

The Bomber jacket is a military classic and this outfit feminizes what would normally be a masculine piece. Many curvy women prefer the look of an a-line skirt and the placement of these pleats flatter every body type. The Southwestern bootie trend is back and this pair completes a flattering monochromatic look with a pop of color at the top.

A great look always begins with the perfect foundation, that’s the key to a seamless style.

Recently, I appeared on The Queen Latifah Show’s “Style Secrets” segment to talk about just how important shapers can be. The segment was a huge success and I had the pleasure of creating three makeovers with Queen Latifah’s fans.

 

(“Before”)

(“After”)

Remember the (3) three S’s: Shape, Slim and Smooth when you are choosing a shaper and it should never hurt you. Another great tip is wearing a shaper when you’re shopping for new looks, trust me it will change your experience entirely. Shapers are a relatively inexpensive garment that compliments everything.
