Christine's Rules:
1. Wayne and Stacy showed Christine a wonderful peasant-style blouse. It was in keeping with Christine's hippy aesthetic but in a more delicate fabric than she would normally choose — slightly wide (but not super wide) — it skims and flatters the body.
2. They also advised her to look for day boots with a more pointy toe and a chunky heel. But nothing too high or narrow that would make her feel uncomfortable.
3. Christine was advised to look for a light-weight, sweater coat.
4. Wayne and Stacy's answer to Christine's hippy skirts was a beautiful, more fitted long skirt in rich red tones; teamed with a short jacket, it looked like a million dollars.
5. Christine was also shown a great A-line suede skirt that skimmed the knee and would look terrific with boots.
6. "Keep away from black!" the stylists advised. "Rich chocolate would be wonderfully flattering."
7. Stretch velvet pants were teemed with a gorgeous, dark purple turtle-neck sweater.
8. Finally, Christine was advised to look for dresses with an empire waist and a deep V-neckline. The Empire waist is the seam that goes right beneath the breast. It raises the waist line and is very flattering for women who might have concerns about their midriff.
