What Mama Wore – Wallis Style Advisor
I mentioned in my last outfit post that after having a baby, sometimes I don’t feel like ‘me’, I’ve spent nine months with a big round belly, feeling feminine and beautiful, and suddenly that bump is gone and I’m not sure who I am or what to wear. The Wallis Style Advisor app is an on-site app that assesses your colour and style preferences, then puts together a selection of items that are aimed at your tastes and personality.
It asks questions about body shape and colouring, as well as questions about your lifestyle as well as other brands you like to put together a personal profile. It only takes five minutes to complete, and then it gives you your own style profile and recommended outfits.
It told me:
“You’re the ideal blank fashion canvas with your slender silhouette and balanced hip to shoulder proportions. Focus on creating a more defined waist and magic up some sexy curves. Tops and dresses with belts, ties or nipping at the waist are your best friends. Details at shoulder and bust create shapely volume. Look for fuller bottoms and skirts that create shape. Straight, baggy clothes are a waste of time.”
It also suggests which styles are best for you {in my case, it recommended shift dresses, fitted tops, slim jumpers and slim leg trousers. About 70% off the pieces it picked out are the styles that I’d usually go for, you can also tell it what size you wear in other brands so it can suggest the size you need in Wallis clothes.
Based on it’s recommendations, I picked out a pair of slim fit jeans, a striped long jumper, a pair of black mocs and a grey biker jacket.
Overall, I’m happy with the suggestions that it picked out for me, it’s a great way of seeing what you should be wearing or avoiding and perhaps finding some styles you might not have picked out before.

March 31, 2015 at 11:22God, I definitely need a style advisor. I have come out today in floral trousers, a red vest and this baggy green t-shirt over the top that I have tied in a knot at the waist as though I’m a member of the cast of Fame…
