Two more styles to cover today are The Ladies & The Mavericks!  Which one of these looks describes you?  Read on to find out more about these two very distinctive styles...

The Ladies

Grace Kelly was a classic lady, and her white-gloved look may seem a little old fashioned, but her polished, refined and pulled-together air still resonates with today's set.  Some of today's ladies include Reese Witherspoon and Renee Zellweger.
  • Keep it feminine but not flirty.  Pick a silhouette that shows off your waist but not too much else.  If you want to choose some skin, choose one area - like your shoulders or decolletage to show off.
  • Add charm.  A bow, a touch of lace, or a slight ruffle offers a sweet edge.  But keep it to one or two flourishes.
  • Classic colors are more appropriate.  Black & white will never fail you.  Avoid anything over-the-top or garish.  If you want to add color, try a red shoe or lip.
  • Fabric counts.  Look for structured, high-quality materials. Anything too flimsy or sheer should be avoided.



The Mavericks

This fashion forward group is never afraid to experiment with bold looks, new designers and avant-garde styles.  Cate Blanchett & Chloe Sevigny are definitely included in this group.

  • Don't follow the pack!  Look for pieces no-one else has and start your own trends. 
  • Relish the unexpected.  The dress code calls for black tie?  Try a short dress studded with sequins instead of the usual floor length gown.
  • Seek out unique colors and trimmings.  Think canary yellow or maribou feathers.
  • To add just a slight edge to your style, try working a super-modern accessory or two into your look.
