My Style Makeover with TK Maxx at Brit Mums Live

I had the benefit of a style makeover at Brit Mums Live yesterday and you can see here, in my You Tube video, how she modernised my outfit with just a couple of changes.

The history of this outfit is that I spent the day shopping in Westfield Stratford on Monday18th June, especially for Brit Mums Live.

The top I am wearing below, I fell in love with, in Next, even though I KNEW that it is NOT the best neckline for me.

Then when I was shopping Thursday 21st after work, at Marks & Spencers, I went down the road of "matching" the colour pallette which apparently is really 80s! Got that from my Mum.

Hence I bought the trousers which although matching in colours, I thought were funky -
they are, but, just too samey samey in the colours.... anyhow, this is the trousers I am wearing: http://www.marksandspencerextra.com/1823/T570104.html

Anyhow, look at how she transforms me:


The photographs are not easy to look at in the above so I also include them below:

How I was dressed - yes! Quite Mumsie!

TK Maxx quite like to clash, but it was too much for me!

THIS however, I could handle - the years have been taken off!

  1. I actually like the pink under the blue the best. It takes years off you just by adding some colour. Looking good honey! I missed you this weekend. Hopefully I can come down for a wee break in the holidays now I have a new job! X

  2. I prefer the latter one - I can't get my head around clashing (pink & blue) but the stylist said it is good to do - eeeeek!
    Glad you like it - you are obviously on trend.
    New job new job????
    That was quick.
    Maybe there is hope for me and my redundancy after all.
    Thanks for stopping by, Liska xxxx

  3. I think the clashing really suits you, and I also love the blue jacket with your white top and the belt. Either way, the jacket is very flattering on you. I wish I'd gone for a makeover now, ah well :)

    1. It was very good and she spent about 20 minutes with me. If you watch my You Tube video above you can see some tips included in there.

  4. I am really bad at what's "in" and what's not. I do love the splash of colour added by the blue jacket, though, really suits you x

  5. I love that jacket. We had the same stylist and I wish she's spent some more time with me. However, her comments were really helpful so I hope I'm brave enough to follow them through.

  6. The jacket looks fab! I love bold colours like that and it suited you!
