You Could Look Better posted on October 5, 2006 11:43 AM by marlowegirl.
Dear thegirllives,
The eyebrow epidemic seems to have spread to Australia, so I think it may now be safely referred to as a pandemic. Too thin. Please see here, here, here, or here for meditations on good brows. Also, please (I'm being so nice today, aren't you proud?) abandon that kabuki-esque foundation for a more sheer tinted moisturizer: pallor is one thing, but you're scary-luminous at the moment. May I call you Glo-worm? Anyway, a biscuity color will be best.
Your wardrobe situation doesn't look too dire...the so-hip(ster) horizontal stripes need to be abandoned as you're not a rail, and those are the only people (legally) entitled to wear them--little-known U.N. draft legislation, I swear, so you're not exempt.
(Momentary digression, while we're doing the parenthetical thing: your very blonde friend in half of your pics needs to discover toner and conditioner, as hair was not meant to be yellow or straw-like. He looks like a scarecrow, in more ways than one.)
Try to stick to decolletage somewhere between that of the abbey and that of the whorehouse; the extremes to which you tend don't serve you all that well, as you have a bosom (avoid overly-high necklines) and it seems like a generous helping (anything too low and it'll look sort of...well, it will make you look bigger than you are. Case in point: that shot of you with the beer). On that same note, 3/4 or full-length sleeves and jackets will serve you better than anything highlighting your upper arms. You may be able to get away with tank tops (vest, in anglo-speak), but definitely avoid cap-sleeves. Also please avoid hipster tragicness. I have a sneaking suspicion she started out as innocent as you.
xo,
marlowegirl.
