Take a Cue from Sarah Palin
New York Times best-selling author, Sarah Palin, is not only an accomplished writer, governor, and mother; she is also an impeccable dresser. It was apparent during the election and it shows up in her book tour.
You can see Palin has chosen a black top, black suit jacket, and a deep charcoal grey skirt. The combination is brilliant. It shows off her toned legs, the silhouette of the outfit is balanced, the colors look great on her, and the shoes take what could have been a bland outfit and give it a bit of edge, a splash of color, as well as showing the world, there is an energetic and confident woman walking in these steps.
And, for the lip color, the base is best if it is red with brick undertones; which calms down the red. Allowing the wearer to have a bit of red to brighten her face, yet with the brick color mixed in, adds a soft and traditional look for the woman.
