In mature and old age, it is especially difficult to independently make adjustments or radically transform your usual image. There is nothing surprising in this, because the style develops over the years, and in order to change, you need a fresh look. And it is better if it is a professional view. 68-year-old Natalya Vasilievna Spevak was a finalist of the popular show "Voice 60+", and then it was time for "Fashionable Sentence" in her life.
Natalya Vasilievna devoted more than one decade to children, and not only to her own. She worked as an English teacher, and her style has become very characteristic of that very ingrained style of older representatives of intelligent professions.
Her wardrobe was filled with long-out-of-fashion knitted sweaters, loose blouses, jackets and suits that were already many years old. She also does needlework herself, alters clothes to her taste, adjusting to the figure. The children of the heroine asked to transform her mother to add joy and new colors to her life.

The choice of a folk stylist
At the “Fashionable Sentence” Natalia Vasilievna was transformed by the beginning of Dina Garipova, the winner of the “Voice” show in 2012, and then by the stylists of the program. In both the first and second versions, they tried to pretty much rejuvenate the heroine, which did not always look appropriate and harmonious.
1. Basic purple coat with a voluminous scarf
The basis of the first and very relaxed image of the heroine is a coat of an incredibly beautiful and deep blue-violet shade. It was complemented by a scarf slung over the shoulder at one end, as well as a miniature brown handbag.
To some, this image may seem too hipster, but it is just rather universal and seems bright, but basic and beyond age. To form a complete picture, there is a great lack of a headdress, for example, a beret, which would bring the style together and visually fasten all its parts.
2. Faux leather jacket with plaid scarf
For the second look, an even more rejuvenating base was taken, even a desperately youthful one. The principle of selection is similar to the previous one, only instead of a coat there is a gray biker jacket, and a scarf from a voluminous milky beige has become narrow, short and checkered. The colors are perfectly matched, but this is the only plus of the outfit.
Such stylistic exercises always cause confusion and a lot of questions for a woman in years. It's like trying to rejuvenate whatever happens, so it looks a bit ridiculous on the 68-year-old heroine. Instead of a leather jacket, an elongated jacket (for example, suede) or a raincoat like a trench coat of a warm shade would be more suitable.
3. Long dress with large print
The evening out became the simplest and at the same time the most harmonious of the first part of the program. This image captivates precisely with its simplicity and similarity to the heroine's previous style.
The dress fits perfectly on her, the color also matches, the cut does not emphasize the flaws in the figure, and the bird print, despite its size, looks very gentle and unobtrusive. The heroine really liked the dress, and she thanked for choosing this image.
The choice of stylists
The transformation of stylists' authorship turned out to be memorable, cardinal, and therefore interesting for discussion (but not condemnation). On the one hand, the heroine was pulled out of the image of an old-fashioned teacher in a knitted blouse with buttons. But at what cost?
The professionals may have overdone it, trying to deliberately diligently rejuvenate an elderly woman who could have looked stylish in clothes of a completely different nature. Calmer, more elegant, soft, without sharp-character details that lead the style to one side or the other.
1. Red Hoodie with Biker Jacket and Jeans
If it seemed to someone that in the first two exits Natalya Vasilievna was not dressed for her age, then the stylists decided to enhance this effect many times. The first choice of professionals just screams about it.
The pensioner was wearing a milky white biker jacket with skinny, slightly baggy jeans and a red hooded sweatshirt. Accessories are also frankly youthful, which is readable in heavy glasses with thick black frames, and in massive white lace-up ankle boots that are not specially laced up to the end, giving the impression negligence.
2. Plaid coat with white shirt and orange pants
The plaid coat, beloved by the stylists of "Fashionable Sentence", has found its application here as well. As an alternative version of the very first monochromatic image, stylists suggested trying the image in warm autumn colors, where a beige coat in a large cage is combined with terracotta trousers and basic white shirt.
The accessories here are more daring than classy. Not every woman who is looking for "zest" for a set in a casual style will dare to wear massive sneakers on a platform (frankly sporty style) and takes with a leopard print (paired with a cage).
3. Shimmery & Slim Fit Silver Floor Length Dress
The evening look, despite the calm color, came out with very overloaded details compared to the weekend outfit proposed in the first part.
Stylists have dressed Natalya Vasilievna in a dress with an A-shaped silhouette made of shiny silver fabric with lurex. The problem area is again highlighted with a strap at the waist, and the hands are covered with leather mitts that emphasize the scarlet manicure.
