How do I look fashion…
// August 1st, 2009 // Looking Good
Thanks to everyone for watching this week’s episode with Edith!! I’ve been getting so many emails for a few featured outfits, which I’m so glad you all dig bcuz not only were they stylish, but some were stealz as well! If you’re like me, you majorly heart great deals. So count on me to always give ya the Haute Hook-up..from head to toe cuz with fashion, you can never have TMI.
*I like to have all my outfits centered around a signature pop piece (in capitals below). Think of yourself as yummy banqueting table of fashion, with focus to one centerpiece. Helps keeps you fashionably fun without going overboard.

Pictured here with Edith: (pic with me in green black shirt)
SHIRT- Ben Sherman –STILL HALF OFF!!! I bought this at the flagship store here in LA for 40% off, and believe it or not, YOU can get it for more than ½ off now online here. For a fun layered effect, find a thin cotton button up with a bright print to have peeking thru. Twelve by 12 (by Forever 21) has fantastic low priced shirts perfect for layering.
Makeup- MAC’s Greensmoke Shadow with lots of Smolder Black Khol liner
Hair- I did this playful “pomp” with a fierce backcomb with my ultimate never leave home without Mason Pierson. This brush can cost quite a buck, but I’ve found this site to be great with free shipping and price. Don’t even think twice, OWN THIS. It will transform your tresses.

Opening outfit from Episode 1: (pic with unbelievable makeup artist Craig Beaglehole. Skirt is diff in actual episode.
Top- Karen Millen NOW ON SALE, can u believe?
Pencil Skirt- Smoke & Mirrors (one pictured here turned out too short!)
BELT- this belts MAKES this outfit. Anna Sui Obi belt. Ladies, skip the handbags..it’s the BELTS you need to splurge on. Belts bring out the best in outfits. Fellow blogger Couture Carrie buckles down on the best belts here.
Makeup & Hair Simple sleek and clean. Top it all off with Juicy tube gloss in Spring Fling, goes with EVERY OUTFIT. And guess what? Join MyLancome here and mention you’re a HDIL lady for free samples from Lancome!

Hi Jeannie!
I saw you on Fashion Tips Today with Natalie Morales and you were wearing a purple dress that was so cute! Can you tell me where you got that dress or who its by? Thanks so much!!!
Are you serious?? Can we talk about the fact that I DON’T EVEN HEAR when I air?? What time did you catch it Emily?? I’ll hafta see it so I can see what you’re referring to. It’s been so long- but I PROMISE I’ll get the deets to you!
It aired Saturday morning (Aug
@ around 10am. It was a purple strappy dress with buttons on the front and you paired it with a funky belt (contrasting pattern?) Let me know if you find out where its from.
Thanks so much!
Omg..I had to literally go back in the archive of outfits to find this –and I got it! Emily it’s a Myne Ashley Ann make. I purchased this at Oou boutique on Vermont Street She’s a fresh new designer who’s making her mark all around LA Also peep Shopbop.com for constant finds of her work. Hope that helps my girl!
Jeannie, can you snap pictures of all your outfits and have a page for all of them?
jeannie,
i loved that coral colored dress you wore on one of the episodes I’m not sure episode it was but it was with the woman who wore her husbands clothes. I would really appreciate it if you got back to me thanks. Oh and i also loved the pink one shoulder dress you wore in the episode where the mom dressed too hoochie…
thanks
Hello Jeannie,
My name is Lauren Grose and I am starting my first office job this week. I have just graduated from College and I am 23. I wanted to know if you had any tips on how I should dress for my first day of work. I am told it is a business casual dress code. I am entering this company as a graphic designer and I wanted to know how far I can go with the creativity of my wardrobe and accessories. I have a nose stud as well, is that appropriate? If you could answer these questions for me it would help me so much and I would greatly appreciate it. I love your show and your style and I was hoping you could impart some of your wisdom. This job is not permanent as of yet, so impressions are vital! I hope to hear from you soon.
Hi Lauren! I’m so excited for your job opp…congrats! At a time like this with our economy, I take every business as a blessing. So I’m glad you’re making this first impression be a lasting one.
I suggest you dress for success. With that, I applaud you to embrace your creativity and tastefully choose the office-appropriate outfits that allow you to be taken seriously for your talents. Don’t let your style be a distraction. Meaning- any loud accessories, chains, too many bangles, clutter, leave em at home. Think polished and sleek with a hip cool touch. You sound like a chic young woman who can get creative with what you have so your style speaks just enough. With the nose ring, I suggest you remove it for the first week, just to feel out the atmosphere of your job, and decide the week after. Again, first impression is everything. After everyone gets your talent and work, they’ll appreciate your style and swag you bring after because you’ll have their RESPECT by then.
Great luck! Update me and lemeno how it goes!!
Hi Jeannie!!!! I L-O-V-E all your clothes you wear while hosting “How do I look?”. Where can I find out the designer/ or where-to-buy ALL of them? Could you keep updating this page? Or is there a sight to go to, to find out your fashion 411? (ex: seenon.com??) I need to know! Love your style, and you are doing a great job with the show! xoxo KELLY
Kelly, you so got it! We’re creating a gallery now called “Mai Closet” that’ll show u each and every outfit u see me in on HDIL or Extra. So stand by– I will certainly let u know when it’s up!
Hey Jeannie,
, is only available in London. Soo sad lol…
.
thank you very much for share with us everything about your outfit, where to buy and ALL the good deals. You’re amazing!!!!!
I tried to find the green shirt on black strips at Ben Sherman but it seems it’s sold out
ok it’s 9:00pm , let me wacth the hdil new episode now
Love you, girl!!!!!!
OH NO! Are you serious?? Ughhhh, I’m so sorrry Renata! After I posted it on this blog, THEY SOLD OUT THAT SAME DAY. I didn’t know if they’d replenish. I would check out the store–last I was there I saw similar structured shirts. A tad higher in price , but well worth it!
Thank you so much for watching!! Do let me know what you thought of tonight’s episode!!
I just love the last episode, as always…lol That lady really needed some help. I liked the way that you say to her ” You look a Barbie at the jungle “lolol. It’s good have a piece of tiger or animal, but wear just this is very overwhelming. My ‘tip’ is ,I bought a preatty animal print shoe and the day/night that I want to be a little wide I put it on with a black dress. I’m glad that you said to her lolol. On the reveal she looked very pretty and more important confident. I didn’t like a bit of her black hair, I think blonde was better on her, but change is always good
…
.
And thank you for let me know about the shirt, I’ll definitely try to find out
The best for you, girl, you deserve.
jeannie i’m wondering where the green dress came from that you wore in the latest episode that had the woman from texas that was obsessed with animal print, that dress was beautiful!
Aimee, I am going to find out the dress designer and get back to you on that! I’m prepping for the Emmy’s and incredibly swamped right now gearing up for the big day. I’ll make sure to let you know..in a new section called “Mai Closet” coming right up!
Hi Jeannie,
I love the opening dress you wore on the episode Kindergarten Couture (1-23-10). It was a two tone asymmetrical dress, the top was a deep red with a large flower and the bottom was black below the knee. Can you tell me where the dress came from or the designer name. I have a big event coming up and would love to wear this dress.
Thanks for our help and hope to hear from you soon.
Carmela
Carmella! That dress I am wearing is a KAREN MILLEN dress. It’s amazing isn’t it? One of my greatest faves! You can find it here on her site, and don’t forget to view the sale section for great finds!
I love that outfit…
Let me know about Mai Closet…I am so excited to see ‘em.
I watched you last How do I look episode and it was so funny…”The bun is so crazy!” We were cracking up the entire show..LOL
Are you on this Saturday for live chat?Can’t wait to see and chat with you again.
We love you Jeannie <3
I would greatly appreciate learning where I might find the black dress and black high waisted skirt that Jeannie wore on “How do I look” on February 6 with a woman named Victoria. The black dress with a high neck collar is exquisite and would appreciate if you could give me any lead on where to find it. Many thanks, Dawn
Hi there Dawn! The black high waisted skirt you saw me wear was actually an H&M skirt, believe it or not! The black dress..I can’t seem to remember a black dress in the wardrobe changes of that episode. Can you describe what scene?
Thanks for watching my girl!
Hi Jeannie! I LOVE the black shirt I saw you wearing during a recent interlude on style.com. I love it so much it is inspiring me to watch your show. Can you help me find it? I think you wore it with jeans/pants. It was simple, but just awesome. Silky material, sleeveless and the neck line was a strand of the same material with the bottom part scrunched around it. Not a very elegant description on my part, but the top was amazing. I’d love to find it. Thank you very much! Renee
The only black tops that come to my mind are the Karen Millen asymmetrical top, or the Victoria Secret blouses I ordered for you online, but it doesn’t fit your description exactly. Hope that helps!
Hi! I just watched eposide 157 with Stephaie from the Jenesse Center. I’m a full figured woman as well & live in the LA area. Can you please tell me where you shopped for Stephanie’s clothes? Thanks!!
Hi Jeannie, I love your show. You always look amazing! i love the black shirt you were wearing on the episode with the young lady that thinks fashion is stupid and her style is tomboy hippie. The shirt had a career look to it with a band around the hip. Could you tell me where i could buy one. Thanks.
Hey Jeannie! I’m from South-Africa and I absolutely LOVE your style and the show your hosting “How Do I Look?” I adore fashion and can spend hours on end watching shows like these and paging through magazines. BUT! I cant seem to create the same looks for myself that I see on T.V and even my mother tells me that I ALWAYS look the same, even though I can wear anything with my body type…Please HELP! I cant afford VERY expensive clothes and I cant shop at stores like where you would, because of where I live? what to do? Ps. keep in mind – $50 = R400 in South-Africa…
Hello Jeannie, i admire your style because you and I are the same height, I really like your style. I wanted to know the cropped jumpsuit your wore on July 10, 2010 episode, where did you get it. Please let me know. Keep up the good work and keep up the fashion.
Thanks
P.S I hope you reply, God Bless
OHMIGOD! i’m watching one of my recorded episodes of How Do I Look where you’re transforming the identical twin, you were wearing a black (or it could be navy…) and white striped blazer…I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! Can you PLEASE tell me wear you got it!
thanks
Hi Jeannie! I think you have great style and like you as the host of How Do I Look! I’m watching the “Double Trouble” episode and saw a piece that I absolutely love during the viewing of the 3 different looks. You were wearing a pair of of black high waisted harem pants and I was wondering who the designer was. I loved the whole look actually and would like to know where you got all of your pieces. I appreciate your reply and great job on the new “How Do I Look!!”
Take Care,
Vivian
Amor, I feel your pain. I must be honest with you- u DON’T need to spend a fortune to look expensive
And guess what.. I’ve thought of you! I have an archive of videos here with major tips to save a bangin buck. Check them out Amor and floss that fashion out there for me! http://www.mystyle.com/mystyle/shows/howdoilook/videos/index.jsp
Carole, I will get that jumpsuit info for you. I’m coming out with a new website that will dictate EVERY outfit I’ve worn. For now, tell me which episode you saw the jumpsuit and describe it. (So many hard to remember!) Was it Alicia’s episode?
Yes! Maddy I got that blazer at FOREVER 21. I KNOW right??? Check it out online may still be there!
You got it– I’ll be posting full shots of the outfits this week! Please stay tuned Viv!
Hi Jeannie..I absolutely LOVE your style on HDIL!! I’ve even seen you wear a couple of pieces that I own!!! I can’t wait to see the upcoming website that details all of your looks. Right now, I was wondering about details on the wide blue leather belt you wore on the recently aired episode of HDIL w/ “Illiana.” You had it on w/ a black and white patterned top, black harem pants (could be a jumpsuit) and black pumps. Can you please provide any info on the blue belt? Thanks!!
