Fashion do over: Frankie

Photo: Freddy O

This week we are making over Frankie, Keyshia Cole’s mother. Anyone who has seen or met her, knows that she is full of energy and does not act or dress like a granny of 5. In the photo she is seen wearing a zebra print cut out jumper, boots, and a statement necklace. Even if you are forever 21 at heart, there are better ways to express your youth. Like this for example:

 

Stark black and white zebra print looks cheap. Notice the brown in the Arden B top shown above. This top is a much better alternative to the jumper. The deep V neckline and flowy gathering in the front is feminine and sexy in a modest way. Paired with the leather leggings, booties, and motorcycle jacket [optional], this outfit is edgy and age appropriate (remember to support the girls). BTW, Women of a certain age should keep their midriff to themselves and their significant other. In keeping with your pop of color, instead of a teal watch, we layered teal bangles as a statement piece. We suggest only wearing one piece of statement jewelry, which is why we omitted the necklace, but you could easily omit the bangles and add a necklace.

So, Frankie, I will grant you a do over if you would PLEASE burn the above ensemble. Yes, burn and not donate, because I don’t want to see anyone else in that outfit, and keep the above tips in mind the next time you want to wear a bold print.
