Dress Your Style: Dawn

- Eclectic: add a statement piece, something unexpected. A long flowy scarf. A big-azz flower necklace. Multiple strands of ethnic beads. Studded bangles. Of course, not all at once!

- Memorable: Maybe choose one item (whether it be color or a particular piece) and make it stand out.

- Effortless: I think you are there!

Oh, wonderful job! It's funny, I don't think of a waistcoat as an androgynous piece, especially when it highlights your curves the way it does here. The last thing I am thinking when I see you in it is, "Gee, she looks boyish." *g*

You definitely nailed your current style, and cciele has some great suggestions for moving to your next.

the first thing i thought of when i saw this is "hah, this is SO dawn," so i think that means you've pretty much got your current style down. hehe. cciele's suggestions are pretty much exactly what i was thinking -- one statement element is all you need to move towards your goals.

I love it Dawn! cciele's suggestions echo what I was going to say - I think that a bolder necklace or scarf would work really well with this outfit.

Thanks everyone! I think I'll try the outfit again next week with a statement piece like a scarf.

Looks wonderful, Dawn! I love the playful/fun element to your style. I think your current hairstyle adds to that part of your look as well. Great job!!

Thanks Dani! Weirdly enough, I had forgotten about the role my hairstyle plays in my style statement as a youthful and fun element.

I love that colour blue on you Dawn! And I think you have effortlessly down pat! Also: your fantastic haircut and fab glasses are definitely two very important accessories, I love that! I agree about maybe adding a more memorable necklace or a fab scarf.

By the way: have you changed the look of your blog? Verrrrry nice!!
(and I just saw your picture on the specs thread: I hadn't realised you have such gorgeous blue eyes!)

Thanks Inge & San! Inge, I did change my blog layout- bigger header, different theme, different font- I think it looks much better now.

Dawn, like others, I think this is exactly your style. You have done a wonderful job of defining your original, unique style and it shows in every outfit that you create.
