In her younger years, Elena was one of those women who cannot imagine themselves without fashionable outfits, styling and daily makeup with red lipstick. She wore the most fashionable things of that time, emphasizing them with indispensable accessories, including hats. But after her husband passed away, Elena lost the meaning of life and the need to take care of herself.

She stopped dyeing, doing her hair, and the wardrobe became almost grandmother's, filled with outdated things without a hint of expressive and decorated style. Elena came to the program in a long loose dress with a floral print and a neat turn-down collar. The stepdaughter brought her to the program so that new outfits would inspire her to return to her former self.

Choosing a "stylist for an hour"

1. Spring look in candy-marshmallow shades

The first outfit is made in colorful pastel colors. A pale pink coat perfectly refreshes the look, paired with a light blue shirt and goes well with loose light beige pants. The green color in the image is assigned to the accessories, and here it is cold, as evidenced by the shade of the smooth backpack and the dark tone of the cap.

The heroine herself really liked this layered outfit. It is really comfortable for everyday wear and is ideal for a demi-season style, especially a spring one.

2. Green pantsuit

The second way out is the second hit in the bull's-eye. The combination of a green base and yellow accessories is a canon for the color wheel. The heroine wore a similar costume during her youth, so she felt very comfortable in this outfit.

Dark and cold green (emerald, pine, quetzal) sometimes seems gloomy and age-adding, but here he is prevented from doing this by a white blouse near his face and a yellow handbag with shoes.

3. Leopard print wrap dress

Leopard print is a classic from the past that has successfully taken root in the modern woman's wardrobe. A leopard dress with long sleeves is very useful for a corpulent heroine, because the print successfully plays the role of an optical illusion, hiding the abdomen, delicately concealing the fullness.

Another plus of the outfit is the V-neck, which is hotly recommended for a plus-size figure, visually stretching the neck and making the silhouette slimmer.

The choice of stylists "Fashionable Verdict"

Judging by the photographs from her past, the heroine was partial to pantsuits, simple silhouettes, clean lines and solid colors. Stylists took this moment into account when choosing a new style. They touched the hairstyle quite a bit, shortening the hair to a shorter bob, making the shade a little lighter.

Elena's transformation

1. Purple pinstripe three piece trouser suit

In the first version, the stylists offered Elena a beautiful trouser suit of a very delicate and barely readable purple shade. The costume did not look boring at all, including due to the accessories - beautiful graceful pumps with a stiletto heel with a snake pattern and metallic beads around the neck.

2. Blue-orange set with jeans

The second outfit impressed with its brightness, including the heroine, who was not used to either such colors or sets of this kind. The stylists have matched the cropped jeans with a bright pumpkin blouse wearing a translucent peignoir of a combined design with an imitation of a vest. The bag perfectly matched the shade with the blouse, also creating a contrasting and highly harmonious union with blue jeans.

3. Dark turquoise evening dress

If the previous outfits mostly hid the figure of the heroine, then the dress of a deep and very dark turquoise shade emphasized all the advantages of the figure, successfully hiding the flaws. The accent in the dress with puffy sleeves is placed on the large boat neckline, which it was decided not to decorate with any necklaces.

The main color "highlight" of the image was a miniature clutch in fuchsia shade, which once again demonstrated how ideally shades of pink match turquoise of any tone.

What about the transformation? (Thanks for "likes!)
