Clinton, "That's a cute outfit." Me, "Thanks, I'm a stylist here in Nashville so coming from you that's quite a compliment." Clinton, "That's why you look like you know what your doing!" That was my oh so brief conversation with Clinton Kelly from What Not To Wear. He gave a short talk on style and fit and was the commentator for a Petite fashion show at Macy's. He's a funny guy and his new book Freakin' Fabulous 
is funny and informative. Watch out for the sexual innuendos and drinking jokes though. It also goes over etiquette and manners which I thought were pretty helpful. So, you heard it here, Clinton thinks I know what I'm doing. What other reference do you need?! Anyway, it may be a good Christmas gift for a fashion junkie in your home!
I have just a few holiday tips to pass on this week. With all the red and green decorations at this time of year, why not stand out and go with totally different colors? Give the snowman sweater to your mother, or better yet, make a pillowout of it, but don't wear it. Last night to an event I wore silver/gray shaded jeans and a cream colored ruffle sleeveless top. The colors worked nicely together and to add a bit of cuteness I bought gray satin ribbon, 1 3/4" wide and pulled it through the belt loops and tied it in a bow. Pretty cute. Also, black heels even though it was freezing! It wasn't so bad and they did make a statement. Remember this, sometimes you have to suffer to be cute! Don't take it to an extreme but for a nice Christmas dinner, leave the Uggs and wool sweater at home. I'd rather be over than under dressed anytime. Don't save your pretty sequined and beaded tops for a cocktail party, use them with jeans or cute chinos (think J Crew) and heels. The sparkle of great jewelry or sequins and beads on your top will be partyish enough to forgo red and green. If you still want Christmas colors, use them as an accent (scarf, shoes, jewelry etc.). Another option is to wear a cute black party skirt, a poppy or tangerine colored tank with a cardigan of a similar shade and flats. Too cute!! I'll post more holiday thoughts later. Also, please forgive the odd placement of these photos, I haven't gotten layout down yet! The brunette in the top picture is my sister. Hey Trese!
