Who says you can’t pull off the ‘wrong’ color? 💁‍♀️ Fashion is more than just matching hues—it’s about style, fit, and confidence. From Ivanka’s polished forest green to Tiffany’s chic navy blue, and Melania’s tailored elegance to Lauren’s bold white moment, each look had its strengths (and a few misses 📸).

The key? Knowing why some colors or styles work—or don’t—and owning your choices with purpose. ✨

What do YOU think about these outfits? Ever worn a color you were told wasn’t ‘right’ for you but still felt amazing?

Olive skin tones can be so tricky to pin down! 🌿✨ Whether your undertone is warm, cool, or neutral—and whether your skin is light, medium, or dark—figuring out your season can feel like a color puzzle with way too many pieces. 😵‍💫

So... what type of olive are you? And which season does that even mean? 🤔 Or maybe there’s a better way to discover your perfect colors without all the second-guessing.

Lucy Liu—Deep Winter or Deep Autumn? 🤔 Her je

Lucy Liu—Deep Winter or Deep Autumn? 🤔 Her jet black hair screams Deep Winter, but what about her olive skin? Cool and ashy? Or warm and golden? If it’s warm, does that make her a Deep Autumn? But wait, Deep Autumns typically have rich, warm hair like chestnut or auburn—not jet black. See how tricky this gets?! 😅

Here’s a quick cheat sheet for these two seasons👇

✨ Deep Autumn = Warm undertones, golden or bronze skin, chestnut/dark auburn hair, and a love for earthy tones like rust and deep olive.

❄️ Deep Winter = Cool undertones, olive but with ashy or icy skin, jet black or ash brown hair, and a striking contrast that rocks bold colors like true red and navy.
Lucy Liu by default of her hair is Deep Winter—but what do YOU think?

Or is there another way to look at her skin tone and best colors? 🖤 Details on the bio link. 🔗

Tell us in the comments what you think —she’s a Deep Winter or Deep Autumn? And is her skin olive and ashy?🌟

Olive skin tones—it’s a fascinating, yet puzzl

Olive skin tones—it’s a fascinating, yet puzzling spectrum. On the internet and YouTube, they’re often labeled as warm, cool, or neutral, ranging from light to dark as seen in these pictures taken from an olive skin tone article. This creates challenges in seasonal color analysis. Is she a deep winter? Deep autumn? Bright winter? And what about the myth—if she has dark hair, she must be a winter, right? Not necessarily!

With traditional draping, so many people are being misassessed. That’s where the Sterling Color Quality System steps in. This modern approach redefines accuracy in personal color analysis.

How to Find the Right Jeans for Your Body Type Jea

How to Find the Right Jeans for Your Body Type
Jeans are a closet essential for everyone, regardless of your personal style or profession. However, finding the right pair of jeans for your body type can be a daunting task. With so many different styles and cuts available, it can be tough to know what will work best for you. In this blog post, I’ll break down the different body types and recommend the best jeans for each. Plus, I’ll share why scheduling an Essential Style Consultation with Sterling Personal Styling is the perfect way to identify your body type and what you should be wearing.

Hourglass Figure:

If you have an hourglass figure, you want to show off those curves! High-waisted jeans or boot cut styles are perfect for highlighting your waist and hips. Skinny jeans can be flattering, but you have to be careful not to create an imbalance with your curves. A good tip is to balance fitted tops and sweaters with wider leg jeans to keep your figure proportionate.

Pear Shape:

If your body is larger and curvier at the bottom than at the top, you likely have a pear-shaped body. The best type of jeans for this body type are ones with a flare or wide leg. This style will balance your proportions and create more curves on top. Avoid skinny jeans or super tight leggings, as they will only emphasize your bottom half.

Athletic Figure:

If you have an athletic body type, this means you have a slim frame with minimal curves. Skinny jeans will look terrific on you, as they emphasize your lower half. However, if you want to create the illusion of a curvy figure, consider adding a belt or wearing flared jeans. A good tip is to choose a high-waisted style to give yourself some length and to help create curves.

How to Style a Tweed Blazer for Women: 3 Tips from

How to Style a Tweed Blazer for Women: 3 Tips from a Stylist, Michelle T. Sterling

Tweed blazers are an iconic piece that has been a mainstay in fashion for as long as we can remember. This sartorial staple exudes sophistication and elegance that can elevate any outfit, making it a must-have for every fashion-forward woman. But let’s face it - it can be challenging to style a tweed blazer without looking too preppy or conservative. As a stylist, I often get asked how to wear a tweed blazer, and I’m here to share with you my top three tips on how to style this versatile wardrobe staple.

1. Dress it Up with a Dress
One of my favorite ways to style a tweed blazer is by pairing it with a dress. Whether it’s a flowy maxi dress or a fitted sheath dress, layering a tweed blazer on top can add a touch of sophistication to any outfit. For a chic and feminine look, try pairing a tweed blazer with a slip dress and finish the look with a pair of heels. You can also swap out the dress for a blouse and a skirt combo for an equally stylish outfit.

2. Elevate Your Casual Look
For days when you want to look polished yet relaxed, styling a tweed blazer with jeans is the way to go. This combo is perfect for brunch with friends or a trip to the mall. For a laid-back look, pair your tweed blazer with jeans and a white tee. You can also dress it up by pairing it with dark wash jeans and heels.

3. Go Monochromatic
A monochromatic look is not only chic but also visually elongates your body. For a modern take on tweed blazers, try styling yours with a monochromatic outfit. You can pair a brown tweed blazer with camel pants and a camel sweater for a neutral-toned look. Or, you can try a black tweed blazer with black pants and a black top for a sleek and elegant look.

Styling a tweed blazer can be easy. By following these three tips, you can confidently incorporate a tweed blazer into your wardrobe and create endless outfit possibilities. Remember to have fun with your outfits and experiment with different textures and patterns to make your tweed blazer stand out.
