Amber Philpott, anchor for WKYT shares some great advice for what to wear on and off camera. Enjoy!
I find it comical that I am writing a blog entry on fashion,
I often tell people it’s funny that I work in a business where hair, makeup and
clothes matter because I seem to not know a lot about any of them. I have never been a fashionista, one who
keeps up with the latest trends and fads.
What I do know is that I like what I see. In fact this time of year is
very hard for me because the weather can still feel like winter, but all of those great summer looks
are calling my name as I walk through the mall.
I think style and personal fashion should not be about
trends and fads, rather what makes you comfortable and beautiful. I am quite conservative in how I shop and
what I choose; I am the type of girl who would wear pearls every single day if
she could. Pearls are timeless, classic
and can be casual or dressy!
For this entry though I wanted you to have some expert
advice from a woman who I rely on to help me look the best I can each and every
day on WKYT. We have an image consultant
that helps us determine the right look in terms of clothing, color choice,
makeup and even hairstyle. For someone
like myself I truly appreciate the help that she provides me, it means I don’t
have to study magazines to figure out what I should look like.
Our consultant is Sherry Ailor with Focus Image Consulting,
when I asked her what the hottest trend for spring is this year, she said
Yellow! Here is her advice for all of us
out there that are a little fashion clueless!
"Yellow is a great color for every stylish woman and
fashion Diva to invite into their wardrobe this spring and summer. Consider a
great piece of clothing in a yellow shade or tone that flatters your skin tone,
eyes and hair. Or, a yellow accessory such as a great piece of jewelry, a
scarf, a belt, shoes or purse would be a great addition too. It is all out
there just waiting for the right person to incorporate it into their wardrobe.
Yellow is not only an on trend color for spring it's
actually the color of happiness, and optimism, of enlightenment and creativity,
sunshine and spring. In almost every culture yellow represents sunshine,
happiness, and warmth. This alone is good reason to add a little yellow to your
fashionable life."
Sherry also says it’s
“Game On,” when it comes to a popular spring trend this year. She says sports and fitness are not only
influencing our health, but now it is becoming part of our wardrobe. Sherry says this spring you will find
sporting designs that are wearable, but also allow you to show off all of the
hard work that you have been putting in at the gym everyday! She says taking care of your body and soul is
very important and finding that right outfit for this spring might just help
you feel even better about yourself.
Happy Shopping!
