Photos from Styling Workshop with Cathy O’Connor

We had an absolutely brilliant evening here in Anastasia Boutique with stylist Cathy O’Connor . Cathy chose 3 versatile outfits for 3 different women (a size 10, 12 &14), in a very casual and super fun fashion show!

She talked us through what styles suited what figures and what to wear and not to wear and gave great advice such as – regardless of what’s in fashion, most women over a certain age should keep their hem line to the knee and v-necks are great for elongating the figure.

Here are some photos from the evening! For more photos go to our Facebook Page
