The blue pantsuit is a good style and good color for you. Glad to see you're not wearing any more of those campaign-trail pantsuits that flared out at the bottom in a Nehru style, like the one above, right. They didn't flatter your figure. Also, the blue color is a bit wimpy - as are …

Coral and bright greens are irresistible after the long dismal winter. The trees are a bright Spring Green and the tulips are bright coral and the forsythia is a bright yellow. These colors signal that winter is over, and we can’t wait to get our hands on those colors, because they boost our spirits. Katie, …

A reminder that necklines matter. The orange shell is close to the "Hanes T-shirt" line, so it it not a flattering line for women. This line emphasizes the neck, usually making it appear wider. That's okay for men, but not for women. Wear your shells no higher than the collar bone for the most flattering …

Your hair is getting better and better. The taupe suit is nice, but it's a little monochromatic in terms of hair, skin and garments. Adding bolder accessories would enable you to make a more powerful statement. The middle jacket is also lovely, but the olive green color of the blouse seems a bit drab, and …

All three women above are beautiful and elegant - and they all have some sort of bob. In the middle, you see Patricia Arquette with the original and classic bob. All the hair is one length. Gwyneth Paltrow's bob (at left) is the American and British version, and it's a takeoff on the Vidal Sassoon …

If you need evidence that it's nearly impossible to be objective about yourself, here it is! Brad Pitt is considered one of the most attractive and sexy stars in Hollywood. Yet in the photo on the left, he looks frumpy and perhaps unsuccessful. The photo to the right shows a little improvement. However, it's that …

So many red dresses were seen at the Oscars last night! Here are my favorites, from left to right, Jennifer Lawrence in Calvin Klein, Jennifer Hudson in Versace, Sandra Bullock in Vera Wang, and Anne Hathaway in vintage Valentino. There were many stunning gowns, but nothing stands out like a fabulous gown in red. That's …

Hello beautiful Katie. You look fabulous in pure white, and it really makes your face look luminous! However, the white shirt looks a little staid. I'd recommend a pair of bold earrings to offset it - maybe a silver Omega necklace to add authority. Love the contrast of the dark jacket with white top, and …

Dear Mr. President, A reminder that grey is a very passive color and needs to be made positive by the addition of a power tie in a bold color. The tie on the left is just plain wimpy. Pale colors come across as passive and powerless. A man's tie is the only place where he …

Image consultants place a great deal of weight on hairstyle, and this is definitely an improvement for Justin. The shaggy dog style is reminiscent of Rod Blagojevich's hair, and it never looks good on anyone. The new style is much better. It lets us see his face, plus it doesn't look like "your mother cut …
