Cassandra’s second look — a bold, graphic sheath — upped the ante. We paired it with a classic khaki trench coat, which instantly transforms any outfit. Smyler gave her dramatic lashes to boost volume and used bronzer for a dewy finish.
THE VERDICT: “I couldn’t believe how great I looked. My new style is awesome.”
CHALLENGE: Working within a creative environment, it was easy for Ericka to hold on to the youthful, boho-chic style of dress she favored from her undergrad days. But turning 30, completing graduate studies and getting engaged prompted her to rethink her style message.
Her second look also includes a vibrant hue: tailored slacks in a fierce fuchsia and a tailored vest to show off her curves. The result? No-fuss style with a touch of sass.
THE VERDICT: “The clothes were so amazingly sexy yet chic. It has inspired me: I can still be my fun, youthful self while also being sexy and mature. The two can be synonymous.”
