Your Colour and Style Questions Answered on Video: 133

5:00 - My main issue is that I love classic styles, but have trouble keeping them from looking frumpy - aka, styling them in new and fresh ways - it doesn't help that I'm 5'5″ - 2″ too short for regular clothes and 2″ too tall for petites. This leaves me with having to alter everything due to proportions just not working on me. ESPECIALLY ankle pants, which are full length on me My other issue is that I am cool toned and look great in pastel colors (I'm a "summer") - so soft pink, lavender, blues, grays all look good on me, but - yikes - they look frumpy (especially in classic styles)! So, how do wear "my colors" but not look frumpy in them? I love the black/tan/gray/navy/white palette, so I've been playing with that lately, but it doesn't really perk up my complexion the way pink does
