When bad clothes happen to good people

We all want it--to look slammin' in what we wear. And some of us do, seemingly with little or no effort (ever seen an off-duty model slinking around lower Manhattan, bare-faced yet fabulous in a 3-for-$5 Hanes tank top and thread-bare khaki hiking shorts? Talk about ruining my day.) Those of us less genetically blessed need to exercise a bit more, well, discretion when going out in public. But do we?

In this 'tight-is-right' age of muffin-top love handles (accentuated by low-rise, hip-strangling jeans), panty peep (aka plumber's butt) and four-boob, we're really letting ourselves slip in the global fashion arena. And the guys are just as bad--I mean, what's a 40-year-old father of two doing in a wife-beater with "I'm with Stupid" emblazoned across the front? Come on, people! Let's get it together.

That's where I come in. You need advice on what to wear to look great? I'm your gal. Just let me know your clothing needs (big interview? hot date? back-to-school?) and give a brief description of your body type (tall? petite? plus-sized?) and I'll do my best to come up with a no-fail outfit plan for you.

Best of all, it's free (the advice, that is--no actual clothing being offered here, just ideas).

So send in those questions and let the wardrobe chatter begin!

Cheers,
