Maximise my appearance

MAXIMISE MY APPEARANCE

Could you provide advice/suggestions in order that I might maximise my appearance? I am very mindful of my appearance by lack understanding and skill in being able to do much with it.

I am 5’2″, 66 kg, wear a 14DD bra, have hair that is curly, dry at the ends, and a mousy (no colour) brown with a medium amount of grey. I have a motley skin colour that gives off a red appearance limiting my choice of hair colour. I would like to lighten my hair but am advised that my already dry hair would become drier.

I would be enormously grateful for any advice.

Lorraine, Ballarat.

Dear Lorraine,

Finding a great fitting, quality suit (jacket, pants, skirt) could be a great place to start. It can be worn in many ways with tops, shirts or even split up and worn with other garments, such as wearing the jacket with a dress. Myer and David Jones are perfect for finding a suit, they stock a large variety of brands and styles. A couple of crisp looking shirts with a French cuff will always look modern, maybe in white and a colour, try Baubridge & Kay or Herringbone. When shopping try and buy colours that will coordinate so you can mix and match your new wardrobe easily.

A new hair cut can also help to reinvent your look and make you feel more stylish. Changing your hair colour will also help you to look younger. There are ways to avoid the dry ends, like using a conditioning treatment once a week or talking to your hairdresser about natural dying options. Dying your hair a shade darker may be better than lighter. It would be less damaging to your hair and may suit your skin tone better.
