Hi Gals,

Here is a great question from Maria in New York:

I’m a 62 year old woman who looks 50.  I work in an office in NYC.  Any tips on fashion that would keep it young and fresh? 

Dressing for the office is so difficult.  Here is my thought...what about a grey suit...instead of the ordinary black or navy?  Then take that grey suit and incorporate colors (within the same family) to to complete look.  Like this...

1.  Grey pant suit
2.  Pale rose colored oxford shirt
3.  Floral scarf with pink flowers worn in your chest pocket or tied as a belt
4.  Bright pink heels

Does this make sense, Maria?  If you start with a basic suit and work in pops of color (in the same color, but different shades) you'll look fresh and wonderful.  And it works not just with pink, but yellow, blue, greens...play dress-up and try some different looks.   (PS: the suit above is from J.Crew)

Do you have a style question for me?  You can email me your questions at askisaac@nbcuni.com! Then check back every Wednesday for my answers!
