Which Recent Trend Is Not Flattering to Anyone?
I am going to talk about a recent trend the magazines have been showing which will cause you to not look “visually harmonious, ” or “pulled together.” Unless you prefer people to look mainly at your feet, this trend will not work for you. Its wearing shoes that are a different color than your outfit. On the Today show this morning, Ann Curry, one of the women hosts who usually looks great did not look as good as usual.
She was wearing bright red shoes. There was nothing else in her outfit that was red and my eye went down to her feet. If you plan to wear red shoes the color should be repeated in your main outfit at least once . If she had been wearing a red sweater or jacket over her black base she would have looked more “put together,” because our eye automatically searches for colors to be repeated. In Ann’s case my eye kept going down to her red shoes when she was seated and I could seee her shoes.
I happen to like Ann Curry and find her a very good interviewer. However, I was distracted by those red shoes and she seemed less credibile to me as a result. Be careful of trends because frequently the purpose of the trend is to get you to go out and buy more stuff.
Which recent trends do you avoid and which do you like? I would love to hear from you.
I thought you were going to say the skinny jeans. I think they only look good on really thin women.
I learned that your shoes should be the same color value of your pants or skirt.
Blessings to you, You do great work!!

Angelica,
You are right. Skinny jeans look best on slender people. They can be worn by heavier women who have narrow hips. Skinny jeans are not flattering on women who have large hips or a big stomach.
