On Friday, one of my dreams came true! I've been watching Marilyn Denis for years with my mom, and I couldn't believe that several years later, I appeared on Fashion Fridays! You can watch my full segment here. Emily is a busy theatre student, and was hoping to take her look up a notch. The style we went for was "ecclectic chic." At first, I wanted to get to know her a little better and find out what she felt comfortable with. As I mentioned in the segment, I didn't want her to feel like she was wearing a costume, so I really focused on dressing her body type and bringing out her sparkling personality through her clothes. At first, Emily was a little reluctant to try new pieces. A cute grey tee with tassles even made her say that it reminded her of her mother's rug! It was all in good fun though, and I really enjoyed sharing some of my styling tips. For her final look, I chose a $15 dress from H&M with a great funky pattern. Emily wasn't totally keen on all the orange and brown in the dress, but I layered a gorgeous purple waterfall trench jacket on top to add an elegant layering piece. This jacket is actually from H&M's Conscious Collection, and is made of recycled fibres! The solid coloured jacket over a printed dress whittles her shape and makes this 5'10" lady look even taller! The dress is also the perfect shape for Emily, as it flares out in a subtle A-line skimming over her hips while showing off her waist - which was one of the features Emily wanted to highlight.
