  1. What's is wrong with what she is wearing? I don't think is that bad if we ignore the first look with the white? tights with peep-toe shoes and nun-inspired hat (the old fashioned nuns, the ones with those white creepy hats).
    I loved it anyway…and so the blog! Keep up the good work.

  2. I WISH someone did makeovers like this now, i like to think that i'm a glam young lady but there's lots of room for improvement!

    I love your blog by the way, fantastic posts.

  3. Ohhhh, I just love this clip! Modern day "what not to wear" shows can hardly hold a candle to the practical advise of yesteryear fashion mavens.

    Wishing you a beautiful and serene weekend,

  4. I love the video! I 'd rather not hear this lady's feedback on some of my outfits.. really must learn to make my own alterations :-)
