You Could Look Better posted on September 27, 2006 05:13 AM by marlowegirl.
Dear Ericaaaaa,
It's good to see you have no fear whatsoever of purple spandex leotards. If you're not scared of those, you're not scared of anything. So, without further delay, here's what to do:
1. Really fucking skinny jeans. You have the legs for them--Cheap Monday are amazing, if you can find them. (Try Urban Outfitters online...I go to Barneys for mine, but they're not listed on the site yet.) Get them in grey or black. Then, like so, topped with an oversized, deep-V cardigan if it's cold, and for shoes, two options. If you're feeling tall, amazonian, world-conquering, then these*. If it's a chill sort of day, these flats.
2. A really trimly-tailored boatneck dress, hitting just below the knee. Belt it or don't, your call. If it's sleeveless, all the better for layering over turtlenecks, buttondowns, things like that. Very Audrey, very you, very good.
Your hair suits you--maybe consider messing about with it at times, straightening, blowdrying, whatever. You need to shape your eyebrows a little, however, and you definitely need to define them with some powder: I can barely see them. Your lips also need a little more color (a light lip pencil fill in the mauve or clover will work well), topped off with some gloss to make them look bigger. Or try a plumper. Also feel free to play with generous quantities of black eyeliner (not waterproof), well-smudged.
xo,
marlowegirl.
* If anyone loves me, I'm dying--DYING--to have these shoes. but it would be fiscally irresponsible.
