Ask Audrey

Audrey McCelland

Last post I shared a bit about Audrey McClelland and how she’s been such a wonderful addition to Team Jenni. Not only is Audrey a beautiful fashion fixer – she is also a mighty partner in crime! Lately, Audrey has been working with me as I style Jenni Hogan. Here is our latest:

It seems a great time to go down the maternity fashion Q & A road with Audrey. Here is a quick conversation that will certianly help you suit up for your own fashionable Forty Weeks!

Q:

It is the dead of winter – what are the best tricks for brightening up an existing wardrobe?

Audrey:

I’m telling you, I love the pop of color through accessories!  They are my favorite added color to play with – you can be bold, you can be bright and you can make such fabulous statements.  I have 2 scarves that I live in throughout the winter – a purple one and a red one.  I love them because they’re big, cozy and comfortable – but most of all, they had such attention to an outfit in the winter.  They actually make me feel happier when I have them on!

 Q:

I always say that glowing skin is an expectant woman’s best accessory – what do you like to highlight Jenni’s glow?

Audrey:

Jenni is just gorgeous on her own, I mean… look at her!  And you can see that Jenni has such an amazing glow about her already.  What I love about Jenni is that she has such great skin tone, that she can get away with wearing any color.  Not many women are as blessed as her!  I would say, to keep adding to Jenni’s glow is to keep adding some fabulous color – either through accessories or clothing.  One thing about Jenni that I love is that she’s not afraid of fashion or color… she’s willing to play and have some fun.  I really think that adds to her beauty and her sense of style.

 Q:

How can this outfit make it from work to evening and still feel professional?

Audrey:

I would add an open vest.  It gives that touch of “fun” – but keeps the outfit professional and doable.  I would also recommend adding a shawl.  One thing when we’re pregnant, we don’t like adding more layers… so by adding a vest or a shawl, it’s not much – but it does its job. 

 Q:

Audrey:

Jenni is wearing an Ingrid & Isabel cami solid black cami under the dress for on-air – what other options might be fun for Saturday night?

Audrey:

Maybe toss on some leggings underneath with some fabulous high black boots!  If anyone can get away with a look like that – it’s Jenni!!
