Wardrobe and Style

"Dressing well and appropriately shows professionalism. No one wants to end up looking like a badly stuffed sausage!" -Amber Evans, Stars Talent Studio
Getting dressed in the morning is pretty much my favorite part of the day. I enjoy putting together different outfits and seeing which ones go together and which ones don't. But, sometimes we can take this to the extreme, and our clothes become our identity. We have to make sure that our outer beauty matches our inner beauty. Clothes are meant to increase our natural beauty, not to diminish. I am now going to share some tips that we learned in modeling about discovering your style.
