"Tim Gunn's Guide to Style": childish knits to professional picks
This was my favorite episode of "Tim Gunn's Guide to Style." Tim and Veronica took a pediatrician with a very young attitude and made her all grown up! Stephanie from New York was very much into Care Bears and toys, and horizontal (gasp!) striped dresses that made her petite frame look akin to an 11-year-old (and they were just scary). She was looking for a new look for an ex-boyfriend's wedding that was fast approaching. Tim helped her find dresses and skirts that elongated her legs so she appeared taller, had her pick new eyeglass frames that enhanced her face and chose dresses that made her look and feel sexy and confident. Tim advised three accessories one should always have. They are a great watch--nothing too gimmicky--I love Cartier; a decent handbag (I'll take any bag, really, but I love the Coach totes), and classic black or brown pumps in leather (surprisingly, my latest pair is from Mandee's, for $48, a happy bargain).
Stephanie also had a makeover, and I love her new look. Her long, somewhat stringy hair became a shiny sleek cut with fabulous highlights that made her look more professional and fun. Since Stephanie was very dedicated to her muscular dystrophy cause, Tim and Veronica arranged to have her attend the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon in Las Vegas and she even got to meet him. This was one very happy ending to a fashion emergency!
