Shari My question is about shoes. For one I have a heck of a time finding shoes that don't hurt my feet and I don't have a ton of money to buy shoes…well shoes are pretty much not a part of the budget at all for now. So I end up buying one pair of shoes and were them everyday with every outfit. My current pair of shoes are on their second year and look beyond hideous. I just hate to spend the time and money when I feel so clueless as to what to get that will look good with my clothes. Any tips? I know I'm going to have to replace my current pair within this month because they are literally falling apart, ha ha.
okay so another shoe question: can you tell I'm serioulsy shoeclueless. So I have large calfs, calves ?? Anyway I love love love the boot fashions that are coming out and always want a pair of cute boots, however regular boots don't fit me. So that would mean I have to buy boot for wider legs which means more money, not to mention they are so hard to find. So my question is is it even worth it? I'd hate to spend the money on boots that fit me only to have them look awful on my sausage legs. I will look in the mirror and think Hey I look pretty good only to see a photograph that was taken of me and realize Oh My what was I thinking?
How do you dress modestly, fashionable and cute for your husband while still being a mom and needing to not worry about whether clothes get dirty or "messed up"?
Eye Liner – How far across your eye should eye liner go on your bottom lid? How do you apply liner on the top lid? What color do you use on top?
Boots are all the rage. Can anyone wear boots? How do you wear them with jeans?
I attended one of your programs and you told me that I was considered clear. If that is true what color of lipstick and eye liner should I use??????
How do you know how long to have your dress or skirt????
What advise do you have for accessories? I recently got a new job where I am having to dress a lot more professionally and was curious what type of necklaces should be worn with what type of shirts or body shapes. What about bracelets, rings, earrings, etc?
One more question..
It seems that shrug type shirts are very popular right now. There are many types, lengths and fabrics. Is there anything we should consider based on our body type when looking at these?
My question: I do not enjoy wearing high heel shoes – or even something slightly less than flat! I know it's supposed to make me look thinner or better, but I FEEL like it just makes me taller and "bigger" overall – and they're not even comfortable! How much of a difference does it REALLY make to my wardrobe, and is there a happy medium or do I just need to learn to wear taller shoes?
Same kind of thing with lipstick… Lipstick makes me feel outdated (who wears lipstick?! lol). I am a redhead with paler skin and freckles.. I do like to do my eyes – eyeliner, shadow, mascara. Do I really need lipstick?
For the time being, I am a stay at home Mom (I teach part time at a college, but I declined to teach this semester to stay home with my kids!) so I'm just getting used to the idea of dressing up even though I'm at home… I want to do it and do it well and not just feel like it's "one more thing" to do with my 3 and 1 year old running around!
My question is about coats…I feel that coats tend to be big and bulky and I don't like to wear them, however, here in the midwest coats are a must especially in the winter. What do I need to look for when looking at a coat? I am looking for something professional, warm and slimming. I have broad shoulders and am relatively tall. Any suggestions…
How do you know when to tuck a shirt in or leave it out?????
Mommy of 3
I see that bangs are coming back in. Are we working our way to the "big bangs" look?
Shoes: How do you know whether the outfit you're wearing looks best with heals or flats? I'm 5'8" and feel like I'm towering over everyone when I wear heals, however, with some outfits I think they look best.

What makeup do you suggest for people with super-sensitive skin?
When should your daughter start wearing makeup?????
Scarves are all the thing but I think they make people's necks look short and fat. How do you get away from this?
Also, how do you choose a scarf? What material?
Basically, I need Scarf 101!
How do people wear boots with jeans? Seriously how are you to tuck all of that in????
Also what color of boots are best with jeans?
I love the multi-colored eyeshadow look. Where it is dark and light on the eyelid. How do you apply this?
