Keeping it Fresh with Kristine Ginsberg

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with ActiveRain, Community Manager

 

This week's Keeping it Fresh is brought to you by Kristine Ginsberg.

Describe your style.                                                                               

Classic with a little edge.

What outfit do you own that makes you feel invincible?

I have a black Ralph Lauren taffeta skirt and red blazer with Christian Louboutin Rolando black patent leather shoes – I feel like a million bucks when I wear it!

What is the biggest fashion faux pas you've made?

Worn shoes that were too high and couldn’t walk in them or forgot to cut the tags off something new - both really embarrassing! 

What celebrity is your style doppelganger?

I have two: Jennifer Aniston – classy, relaxed and stylish and   Kate Middleton – always classy, chic while still showing off her fabulous body! 

Best Fashion Advice?

Dress for your body type and play up your strengths. If you have great legs wear skirts or dresses. If you have sculpted arms wear sleeveless shirts. Know your body and highlight the positives instead of focusing on your flaws...but always wear age appropriate clothing. There's nothing worse than a woman over 40 wearing her daughter's clothes.

So true. Find your own style and wear it proudly. Accent the positives and try to minimize the negatives.

Okay, Kerrie, this is too cute. This is the first time I've stumbled onto this feature - glad I did. ( Found it on Facebook)

Kristine, you are so going  to have to give this nature loving woman a good makeover when I see you in September. Seriously, and you are going to have your work cut out for you...

Heels, ouch. I love the way they look, but get charlie horses at night when I wear them for too long...Lol. My style, "Pacific Northest Weather."  :)  I have to say I love the dress your age part...hate seeing women in clothes that are too young for them...it's seriously not good.

Great advice from Kristine but honestly, way too old for Christian Laboutins-however, playing up my legs would probably be a good idea-it sure ain't my arms!

Totally agree with the age appropriate clothes.  I also agree with knowing your body type and what will compliment your body.  Great job, Kristine!
