Unfinished Outfit

HI pres,
I wonder if you could help me 'spruce up" this outfit. Click Here
I just feel that it needs something to make it "sing". Please note the top has an empire seam that is not that visible in the pick. Thanks!

You have a lot to work with! Just about any modern ensemble would flatter you.
But right now, your top is a bit skimpy-tight, the square neckline is filled with a small beaded circle, the hip line (hem of the top) is at your widest part, and the shoes aren't sending out any killer vibes, either! It's the basics, but it's not a finished ensemble.

We'll have to add some stuff! Let's start with a ruffled, or long cardi over the top, with a long Vee neck, and some long mixed bead chains. This will emphasize your terrific torso, instead of your hip line. Then, two bangles on the wrist, and some shoes with a Tee strap. A big clutch in a pop color.

Some examples:

A long cardigan
A long, mixed bead Necklace
A Belt in a Hot color (you have the shape for it!)
And some shoes with interest at the Ankle.


Let's see what you can come up with when you pile it on. More is More!

Hi pres,
thanks for all your input. I tried 3 different versions of this outfit, trying to implement your suggestions. Let me know if you agree with my take on them.
this one seems to be too low wasted.
This is ok but I think it may be too bulky.
this one I think is the best but I may need to lower the sleeves on the sweater a bit, more like the j crew model in your suggestion.
What do you think???

I like them all. My fave, Number 2, "Too Bulky" is not bulky at all! I would say 'perfect,' except that I'd like to see a more exciting shoe than your standard pumps.

Live it Up!
