I really wish I'd had friends (or stylish co-workers ;) ) to do this with me, like, ever. <br /><br />I've always had to stumble along finding my own way with fashion. I can count the number of times I've had a friend come shopping with me on 1 hand. My mom had the fashion sense of a jar of peanut butter, and none of my friends have ever really been interested in doing this kind of thing. I've had friends here and there that were stylish, but they weren't really interested in talking about style. I sorely wish that someone had stepped in to offer some guidance during my teens and 20s. <br /><br />So big bravo to you and Jill for taking the time to help Colleen feel more comfortable with fashion and more confident with her choices. :) <br /><br />Your advice is a nice mix of practical suggestions and "trust your instinct" encouragement. It's also a much needed counter to all those "ZOMG YOU ARE TEH SUCK!!!11!" tv fashion shows.E and Ohttp://www.erraticandobsessive.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-61181958106319278292009-12-25T23:37:32.242-08:002009-12-25T23:37:32.242-08:00If only I had friends with style sense...and tact....If only I had friends with style sense...and tact.

These are great guidelines and it sounds like this was such a lovely event (mmm....cheese platters AND clothes!) <br /><br />I really agree with #2, which is what I always hate about makeover shows. I always think of all those items I have that carry sentimental value and that I wouldn't wear out of the house, but I wouldn't want to have to set on fire only because they don't agree with some so-called fashion rule.

I realized last year that I hated almost everything I owned because I had bought whatever beautifully made, flattering clothing I could find from the local thrift store. It followed all the rules, but getting dressed made me depressed. Now I'm slowly collecting things I really like. Oddly enough, I also get more complients now that I break the rules!Elizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299687779130524142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-74213685317078212812009-12-22T15:44:33.021-08:002009-12-22T15:44:33.021-08:00Loved it.
