This week I have a guest post for you from Natasha Nadel, my identical, unfashionable, (but not evil) twin sister.
4 Tips For The Naturally Unfashionable
no idea if something fits or flatters you; or have recently changed weight
and don’t know how to dress your new body, there’s hope for you! How do I know?
Because there is hope for me! Lani and I were joking the other day that when it
comes to fashion, she just can’t teach me to fish on my own!

her into my house to help every morning when I get dressed. That, and her family might mind… So I’ve

Have a signature piece of clothing. Lani has blogged about the idea of a personal uniform. That makes sense to me. But how to

uniform” should be a blazer with jeans so that I always looked and felt “put-together”. I get that but I’m just
not comfortable in structured clothes like blazers unless I’m in an office for
the day. Enter this season’s sweatshirt blazers and cardigans. Every day now I
start with what cardigan or soft jacket I want to wear and build my outfit from
there. Just add shirt and bottom for an instant outfit.

earrings-but never with glasses-says Lani). Jewelry is usually too complicated
for me so I don’t really try unless I have my expert (Lani) on hand. I just
wear my push prize II diamond circle necklace and maybe (if I’m
getting fancy) my push prize I bracelet.
