For the more astute of my readers you may have noticed in the comments section of yesterdays post How to Find Your Body Shape – And Learn to Rock It! there was a rather delightful little gem –
‘Just because your blog is SO fun to read and makes me remember that fashion is meant to be something we love, feel free to have your readers email me photos in the silhouette stance and I will happily get back to them with my best suggestions for styles that will work. Thanks again for the rave review. You, my dear made MY day! x Annebelle’
Yes. You read correctly. That’s Annebelle Van Tongeren. AS IN THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOK THAT I WAS HAVING A RAVE ABOUT!!! It’s called Dress Like A Star and trust me, this book is even cuter than I am. And even cuter than the book and myself put together is the lovely Annebelle. If you visit her website Your Wardrobe Mistress you can get a taste of what this fabulous lady does. She is a stylist, designer, writer and author and has dressed the likes of Jessica Rowe, Guy Sebastion and Fuzzy Agolley. She has also worked on television shows such as So You Think You Can Dance Australia (I know a few of my readers are massive fans of this show!), Video Hits and every awards ceremony there is – Logies, Arias, Nickelodeons… you name it!
So… what are you waiting for ladies and gents? You heard the woman! Email her your silhouettes. It’s an offer that’s too good to be true. Annebelle is a PROFESSIONAL STYLIST!!! Offering you her services! Um… why are you still sitting here reading this? GO!
Annebelle has also agreed to do a follow up guest blog featuring some of her advice to Smaggle readers. Which means that your silhouette could appear on Smaggle alongside personal advice for your shape from an industry professional! Am I using too many exclamation marks!? It’s just because I’m so freakin excited!!!
So here is your check list –
1. Take a head-to-toe photo in fitted clothing
2. Black out your silhouette (Click here for visuals)
3. Let Annebelle know about your one Killer Feature (your best bit) and your one Worst Enemy (your yuckiest bit) she says in the comments section that this is REALLY important.
4. Send both to annebelle@yourwardrobemistress.com.au and also to lady@smagglestyle.com
5. Let us know if you would prefer it if we didn’t use your silhouette in the follow up. I know some readers can be shy. For those of you who don’t mind we won’t mention names. We’ll just use your figure as a gorgeous guide for similarly shaped lads and lasses.
Thanks poppets! If you have any questions feel free to email me or comment.
Love Lady Smaggle

P.S Since posting this a few people have asked me how I blacked out my silhouette. This is where I admit to you all what a total technophobe I am. I’m sure there are plenty of programs that allow you to do this on your computer but they scare me. So I just printed my photo in black and white on a regular piece of paper and coloured it in with a good old fashioned texta. I was even too scared to use the scanner (I know!) so I then took a photo of the piece of paper and uploaded the photo. If anyone else has any suggestions please comment but my way works quite well. Plus colouring in is good for your soul…

Hi again.
PAH-LEASE you need to stop gushing!! And please if anyone is sending me their pictures, I would also like to know their One Killer Feature and their Worst Enemy. Make sure you think this through as the One Killer Feature especially is really important to get your look working. Looking forward to those emails ladies! x Annebelle -
Annebelle – Super quick response! I’ve added your request and I can’t to hear your advice. xxx

Niki – I’m sure we can cope with head to ankle! Unless your feet happen to be your killer feature???
-
Cupcake – I think as long as we can get a full view of your shape and you can show us your killer feature and your worst enemy I think we’ll be sweet.
-
Cupcake – It’s up to you really… I think the black one will be fine. Just make sure to point out your killer features and worst enemies!
Ivy – You welcome my love. Look forward to receiving your email! 🙂
