As Seen on Twin Cities Live

After almost a year of doing this,I think I'm getting the hang of dressing for television.  There are a few guidelines that govern how I choose what to wear for my appearances as the Twin Cities Live Beauty Guru:

• Darker, more saturated colors - bright colors can look too warm on camera
• Fitted pieces - this is especially true with layers; less-fitted clothes look especially ill-proportioned on TV
• Large jewelry - dainty jewelry is virtually invisible on TV, so larger necklaces are my go-to

Last week, I did a follow-up segment on BB Creams.  The very first segment I did on TCL introduced the audience to the very first BB Creams on the market.  So I came back to talk about all the new BB's that are available now, and to share my thoughts on which are great and which are not.

 

The red dress that I wore is one of my favorites.  I bought it a few months ago at an Old Navy Outlet near the Twin Cities.  It's a little shorter than most of my dresses, so I usually pair it with dark tights - although this spring, I'll probably treat it more as a tunic and wear the dress over leggings.

 

The blazer is a piece I got from Talbots a couple years ago.  I don't wear it very often because I sometimes feel a little too buttoned up in blazers.  But I thought it added a polished feel to a somewhat whimsical, bird-patterned dress. 

 

The necklace is another favorite.  I bought it from mark a few years ago and love how sparkly it is.
