After my fair share of fashion bloopers back in the day, I have come to settle into my style and feel that I know what works for me and what doesn’t. But in the nicest way possible, many potentially lovely ladies out there are living in varying degrees of clueless.
Are you one of them or do you know someone who fits this profile?
Has a friend ever asked you
“Does my bum look big in this?” and you open your mouth to make some joke about the Number 15 bus but instead smile nicely and say
“No honey! Can I top up your glass of Chardonnay?”.
Or are you one of those who gets sweaty palms when faced with going into a fashion store and getting that look from the impeccably dressed sales staff?

Enter iStylista.com This is an online virtual stylist service and shopping website that promises to update your look to fit your body shape and keep you in with the fashion dah’lings and out of the fashion faux pas.

After entering some details including boob, bum and boot size I’m soon being flashed all sorts of garments. Then I refine my search for day wear and include that I like boho and also glamorous looks and yes, I can also be shown creative fair…and surprise surprise, I am actually impressed.
I’ve been shown some items I normally would not have looked at but like!
Only problem being that I would normally not look at these items because I don’t spend £135 on a pair of trousers or £109 on a pair of leggings. But fear not, they have spared a thought for the dinkier budget and have great tips and advice including an article called: How to spend less on clothes and still look fabulous!

For example:

Tip 1: When you next go shopping make sure that when you buy something that it goes with at least three other items in your wardrobe, you could potentially wear it for three different occasions with adaptations and that you can wear it over three seasons successfully.

They also have other great articles that women would love to read such as self help advice to go out there and create the life you want and I saw some make up advice being dished out too.

I downloaded my personalised style guide after entering further bits of info including areas of concern to me and did find the guide interesting and even picked up a few pointers. However my favourite bit of the site is the flattery!
So even Number 15 bus ass lady will get some kind words.
I was repeatedly told, because I have a rectangular body shape, that I have the most fabulous long slim legs, which is great to hear but I really don’t, and that’s not me being facetious. I really don’t. But thanks iStylista, you made my day!
