Delia
Twenty-six-year-old Delia, a recent M.B.A. graduate, favors quirky outfits more suited to a club kid than a professional executive. Stacy and Clinton have to convince this ex-Miami resident that there's more to looking young and fashionable than glitter and pink clothing. Hairstylist Nick Arrojo gives Delia's curly brown mane more volume. Makeup artist Carmindy steps in with a new routine to include colors that highlight her olive complexion. Watch this makeover transformation as Delia learns What Not to Wear!
Delia's Rules and Mannequins
Mannequin #1A,1B,1C (Work: 3 Looks from One Suit):
#1A:
- Pamela Robbins Boutique: HOW & WEN lavender silk charmeuse blouse with neck tie
- ZARA: Brown skirt suit
- Nine West: Purple platform pumps
#1B:
- ZARA: Brown skirt suit
- Macy's West: TWINKLE Sand washed silk charmeuse Victorian blouse

- Barney's New York: WHITE+WARREN mauve cashmere cardigan
- Banana Republic: White elevated camisole
- www.zappos.com: SAM EDELMAN "Brigette" flat in grey tweed with a pink trim
Rules:
Suit broken up to create 3 different looks:
- A one-button jacket with a low stance is flattering on someone with a medium size chest and hitting at the hip gives a better body proportion.
- The trumpet skirt comes just above the knee balances out the hip and derriere areas.
- The bowtie on the blouse covers you up but is still flirty and professional.
- This suit is perfect for a job interview and can also be broken up to create other outfits - be sure to look for a suit with pieces that can work independently of each other.
Mannequin #2 (Casual):
- Banana Republic: Green nylon belted jacket
- Denim trousers
- Century 21: Burgundy "Marilyn" argyle sweater with attached collar and cuffs
- Max Studio boutiques: MAX STUDIO sky blue cashmere pashmina shawl
- MAX STUDIO black leather bucket bag
Rules:
- Bright colors near face bring visual interest to you.
- A sweater with an attached collar adds a layer without the bulk of a rumpled shirt underneath.
- A wider leg trouser jean is a classic and sophisticated look.
Mannequin #3 (Fancy/Event Wear):
- DVF Boutique, Paris: Diane von Furstenberg "Madam" dress
- Nine West: Black rhinestone buckle shoe
Rules:
- A wrap dress is great at accentuating an hourglass figure and in cotton jersey fabric this dress can easily go from day to evening.
- The Nehru neckline with keyhole opening is a sexy look without revealing too much skin.
- The pink and purple print is beautiful against an olive complexion.
