Shit Style Advice

[ClaraDeLaNoche]

Not necessarily on MN as we are sooo stylish.

I will start with: take one accessory off to finish your outfit. Nope I'm not Liberace I am only wearing a necklace.

Ruching hides a multitude of sins- no it just lo

Aah!! It just looks like you are using ruching to hide a multitude of sins.

Eyes or lips. Fuck that I'll do both thanks.

Never wear black and a colour. Such a crock of shite and that one comes from the ragamuffin hodge-bodge couldn't-put-an-outfit-together-to-save -her-life, 'stylist' that is Trinny.

I love Trinny

Only pluck below your eyebrows
Okay then what about the wolf boy extras going to my hairline...

Haha totally agree Ronald - my eyebrows meet my hairline if I don't pluck above them!

Oh yes and any suggestions from Gok the Cock. He who takes reasonable items of clothing,slices them up and customises them with the cheapest looking tat so you look like you take style inspiration from GReat Big Fat Gypsy Wedding guests.

Er, no thanks I'll pass. Boggles how he has made a living on touting this old wank as advice around

You actually think she is stylish?

That Spanx give you a good shape - they don't. They give you a good shape if you're already thing. If you have flab they just relocate the flab.

Pencil skirts suit everyone. Not me! They make my bum look both huge and saggy (neither could be described as flattering).

Black and navy are a big no no! They look great together

,

Wrap dresses suit apple shapes. Really?

Cinch everything in with a waist belt. Also from Gok.
It was peddled out like it was the holy grail of style.

ronald the just pluck below your eye brows is actually a golden rule not to be ignored,the above part is your natural shape,if you mess with it,it can make your eyelids look droopy,

I think all these advices from shows. like 10years younger, trinny and susannah and Gok ,are really dated,and sometimes just done with out good analysis,

Agree on the navy/black combo santa one of my favourites!

LOL on GOK and Trinny's Spanx - hate Spanx! Ditto waist belts with everything....and how on earth do you manage all the fiddling about with waist belts on top of coats/cardigans? Never figured it out...

And I just posted on the curly hair advice thread ...why do all women have to sport identikit straight hairstyles to look stylish/well put together?

Trinny and Susannah also used to tell larger ladies to 'draw attention to their wrists' with a 3/4 sleeve.

Now I notice a LOT about people but never, ever have I said 'ohhh what lovely wrists'

The only thing I would say is I do like a manicured hand with almost too short nails...but some of the "nail art" contraptions I see people walking about in, with long nails...so unhygienic and nasty looking...

Push Up bras showing tons of cleavage on the well endowed...another favourite GOK trick.
I am a 34FF and aside from wearing a good supportive bra cannot figure out WHY one would want to flaunt/magnify the patently obvious.

Oh yes it's that push em up until they resemble a meaty arse trick Christina Hendrick's most favoured look

They need no special effects.

Tall women look great in sky scraper heels.
Yes, some do. Others look like Liiy Savage.

Teeny, tiny bikini bottoms make your bum look smaller. I wish.

I agree re ruching I hate those dresses where one side is ruched like its been caught in something

On the flip side, I hold these truths to be self evident:
No opaques when it bakes
Tights no show with your peep toes
Make an effort

V necks if you have bog boobs. Funnily enough I'm not keen on displaying my cleavage to the world, well not anymore

Bog Boobs! I will adopt in preference to Big Boobs from now on.
On the other hand I do agree us well endowed ladies have to give turtlenecks a big wide berth or risk the Uniboob effect...

Oops. I like a round neck and a decent bra.

Yep Mrs Campbell scoop (not too low) necks work best

And I am blessed (to make up for huge norkage) with snake hips and slim legs, so some of the S/Trinny combo advice on shifting attn from one area to the other is sound.
