Dressing like Meg from Motherland

[FolornLawn]

How do I achieve this? I have a similar figure but slob along in jeans and too much black/grey. She always looks fabulous. I have no idea how to embrace colour and use clothes joyfully rather than hiding in them.

She wears a lot of Lucy and Yak iirc. I think a lot of really colourful clothes need a big personality to match, else they risk becoming a bit of a costume

She also wears a fair few tops from Kemi Telford.

Thanks! Lucy and Yak scares me a bit, it’s a bit Playschool. Love Kemi Telford.

Tanya Moodie epitomises beauty & kemi Telford dresses and tops are divine!

Meg’s clothes show you she has a lot of confidence and presence and is a massive extrovert.

Black skin is usually a ‘winter’ so suits dramatic colours.

Without a big personality and the right colouring those clothes could wear you.

That wasn’t a very helpful response. Let me try again.

Could you wear your black and grey quieter colours with embellishments, such as trim, embroidery or sequins as a start?

Could you do coloured belts, bags, shoes?

Do you prefer your top half or your bottom half? Wear your favourite colour on that half, with grey rather than black on the other half as it’s a softer contrast.

Copy Meg’s clothing silhouette rather than the clothes themselves if you are a similar height and shape.

Thanks for the ideas. I’m a winter, but white. I particularly like the idea of adding a bright top half to some well fitting (holy grail) black, grey or navy trousers. (It was Meg’s outfit in the Christmas special that inspired this thread.)
My dream fashion is the Asian Scandi look, as worn by beautiful Japanese women, however I’m very much not that.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but not all black skin has the same complexion or tones, so how can all 'black skin' be winter?

Can Zoe Saldana and Lupita Nyongo both be described as Winters? Do Myleene Klass and KT Tunstall both have the same colours just because they are of Asian heritage? Does House of colours lump all 'ethnics' as 'Computer says no'

Was there a Christmas special this Christmas?

Thank you.
