Motherhood consumes many women, especially those who are raising their children alone. This was the case of Elena, who is raising her daughter alone. Elena is an excellent mother who spends all her time with her daughter and devotes her life to her. But a friend reproaches her that a 43-year-old woman looks like a friend of her 7-year-old daughter, so she rejects all chances to improve her personal life.
Elena's style is both noticeable and unremarkable. She dresses in the usual practical clothes: knitted sweaters, stretched turtlenecks, sweatshirts, hoodies, pants and jeans. Basically, everything is very bright and stands out not in cut, but in color. Naturally, no heels.
This is an ordinary wardrobe from inexpensive stores, but not a style, but just a collection of things. On the program, it was repeatedly repeated that the heroine dresses like a child, completely merging with her daughter, or like a teenager who refuses to grow up.
The stylists were faced with the task of demonstrating to Elena that you can dress comfortably and be bright if you dress in outfits that are appropriate for her age. And not just visually bright, but a stylish, beautiful, modern and interesting woman.
Parameters: height – 156, weight - 49 kg, figure - 90/74/87, clothing size - 44.
Own choice (shared with a friend)
1. Long Sleeve Dark Green Midi Dress
The first outfit she and a friend chose was a crinkled dress reminiscent of Edwardian style. He was matched with shimmering sequined pumps, which were too big for her, and therefore made it difficult to walk.
The dress itself is very beautiful in its elegant minimalism. This dangerous color, which can make you look older and darker, suited the heroine, who desperately lacked appropriate makeup and hair.
2. Oversized Plaid Jacket with Burgundy Pants and Shiny Turtleneck
The second image was a somewhat shapeless oversize, consisting of a shiny lurex khaki turtleneck, a plaid jacket and overly long trousers that looked deliberately cheap and slack.
Despite the fact that Elena said that this is her usual image, it is impossible not to note that it is assembled as if from what fell first from the closet. A set of things that do not fit together.
3. Pink dress with large sequins
The evening out was created with a dress with large shimmering sequins, and the heroine simply took off her shoes as soon as she stepped onto the podium. The dress was too big for her, perhaps she lacked a belt, perhaps she was simply not used to such a loose oversize, so she kept it from behind on her own, picking it up according to her figure.
The color of the dress was very suitable for the heroine, but again there was not enough hairstyle and makeup that would complement the outfit and make the evening look complete.
The choice of stylists
The stylists changed Elena's hair color from a regrown poisonous red to a deeper shade of mahogany. The length of the hair remained almost unchanged, and the bob was laid in large waves. The heroine's inconspicuous small glasses were replaced with fashionable large ones in a contrasting frame, which is combined with the new hair color.
1. Blue and turquoise pantsuit
The first outfit from the stylists struck in the heart both the audience and the heroine herself. A trouser suit with elements of a Japanese kimono combined two colors, which are rarely combined, because many are considered incompatible. It is a vibrant shade of blue and elegant turquoise.
The shoes were matched to the suit, and the handbag was chosen in a darker shade of blue. New colors breathed life into the image of Elena, who called herself a beauty, feeling very confident.
2. Sheepskin coat with trousers in warm shades
Shades of brown and khaki are the fall classics, which this time was created not with a brown coat, but with a practical soft sheepskin coat. She was perfectly matched with comfortable trousers of a pleasant neutral shade of khaki, tucked into high Cossack boots with a wide bootleg.
A large white bow of the blouse gives a special "zest" to the image, making the style romantic, diluting this stylish pragmatism in two basic colors.
3. Pearl Blue Pleated Skirt Dress
For the third look, the stylists offered Elena a pale blue dress with a V-neck, long sleeves and a skirt in small textured pleating. He was matched with classic silver pumps with shining sequins and a miniature evening bag in a mint hue.
