Katie Couric: Purple Blouse’s Majesty, Almost Flawless
In the humble opinion of this image consultant, that purple is great, Katie! My only comment pertains to the neckline of this silk shirt: Jewel neckline blouses worn with blazer jackets create a hard, straight line. A top with a tiny bit of a scoop at the neckline is much more feminine and flattering.
Love that [...]

Katie Couric: White’s Alright, but Dots are Hot
Katie, you really look great in white, but I’d like to see something a little more sophisticated than an Oxford shirt. For a change, wear a polka dot shirt with a bold necklace and earrings.
I wonder what my readers think . . .

Katie Couric: Olives are Delicious, but We Don’t Wear them on Our Rings
Katie,
This is an interesting suit, with a bit of a military look to it. I’d love to see you in a more feminine style. The turtleneck dresses the suit down substantially; a scoop-neck top would look more professional. Also, those drab military colors don’t flatter your skin as much as others [...]

Georgio Armani was right. Accessories make or break your look – and determine whether you are judged elegant or not. The most expensive suit in the world could very well look boring without accessories.
When I was a fashion model, designers looked you over before you went out on the catwalk to see if you “made [...]

Navigating Celebrity Wardrobe with the Right Coordinates
Katie, you look lovely. I prefer the scoop-neck tops under your suits much more than the white blouses. The line is much softer and subtler. This “tiny” jewelry lets the black of your jacket wear you, though. Be as bold with your jewelry as black is with your jacket and you won’t appear [...]

Cream Blouse and Grey/Brown Jacket: Less Than a Dynamic Duo
This is a nice blouse, and in a crisp white it would complement you even more. While the blouse “harmonizes” somewhat with this grey/brown blazer, the overall look offers no contrast. Therefore, you appear more “washed out” and less dynamic than you could. Remember, some bold silver earrings would bring our attention to your face.

Katie Couric: Mother Earth Looks Good in Brown. You Shine in Jewel Tones.
Katie, very few people actually look great in brown. That’s because only about 20 percent of us actually have “warm” toned skin; about 80 percent of us have “cool” skin. Other image “experts” might tell you differently, but trust me! Tans and browns bring out a “sallow” skin tone, not a warm one. “Sallow” signifies [...]
