I think it's about knowing what suits you, in terms of hairstyle, make-up and clothes.

For example I have a friend who has a lovely complexion and she just blooms when wearing pastel colours and long tops with trousers, but for some reason she always wears darker colours and really unflattering mid-calf length skirts, with out-dated floral shirts.

I think also that well-cut and well-fitting clothes also make a difference.

good complexion

(and I think it's ironic how everyone used to say oo fern she's fat and fabulous, fat people look just as good, and now she's lost some heft it's ooo fern she looks much more fabulous than she ever did before)

Totally agree with Malory - it's decent, flattering clothes (whatever your shape) and great shoes BUT the accessories make all the difference. Great necklaces and bracelets make a huge impact - I get comments on mine a lot too. THere are a few mums who have fabbo jewellery.

There are quite a few fans of Pilgrim (incl me

SuGaRCoAteDPoiSOn · 16/05/2007 18:07

I'm fat and I think I look fabulous - I get a lot of compliments/comments too so I must be doing something right

brimfull · 16/05/2007 18:28

eachpeachnallyplum · 16/05/2007 18:37

hair

mumto3girls · 16/05/2007 18:42

what is you theory Cod?

Mercy · 16/05/2007 18:48

My SIL and a mate/neighbour of mine are def 'faberage'. They are both artistic too so I would say their look is quirky but works really well. The way they dress matches their personalities iyswim.

SIL doesn't wear make up and buys virtually everything from charity shops, markets, jumble sales. But has loads of accesories - bags, shoes, jewellery. She also has dreads with a few lovely tiny shells and bells in her hair.

Neighbour sometimes makes her own clothes . She dresses quite simply but has quite bold accessories - big sunglasses, chunky unsual jewellry, subtle make up. I think she gets a lot of stuff in markets, one off shops etc as well.

And neither of them have much money at all.
