Another fun and fabulous makeover - go team Gorgeous Me.

 

Kelly, mother of four children aged 5 and younger, recently won the Gorgeous Me & Essential Mums Makeover Competition. See her stunning makeover here.
 

It never ceases to amaze me what a huge transformation these women go through. They haven't just changed their hair style and are wearing new clothes - for most, something unlocks or is released from within, something that may have been trapped for years.

Often the transformation doesn't take its full form straight away - having a makeover is a HUGE change in a couple of days. Individuals need to find a way to incorporate what they have learned into their everyday life, to break habits of old (some life long). My advice is to initiate small change day-by-day and eventually you'll start to become more confident with the choices you make and the things that you do.

I feel very privileged to be part of a team that makes a difference in so many women's lives.
 

 

I received a query during the week, resulting from our Winter Hats blog. It was from a woman in her late 50's with short, grey hair - she loves hats but from our article we only profiled attractive, young women with gorgeous long hair. We do apologise for this, and we know we do it a lot. There's a simple reason - we're VERY limited with the images we can access - from fashion brands, photographers, photo image sites, etc - and they tend not to photograph everyday women in fashion. Some do, but they're few and far between. That's why we do our makeovers, to show everyday women that they are gorgeous. So please bear with us... it's something we are very mindful of.

And to answer our member's question, yes, women in their late 50's with short, grey hair can looking stunning in hats. We recommend that you show a bit of hair if you can, it helps to soften the look, and make sure you get a hat that, size-wise, looks in proportion with your body size.
