I could post plenty of women with blazers and jeans in 2016 too! Jessica Alba, Kate Winslet, Rachel Bilson, but I will settle for two of the most stylish women in the world, Emmanuelle Alt, editor at French Vogue, and her colleague, Capucine Safyurtlu, below:

Bear in mind, as you race from store to store chasing down this year's silk bomber jacket, what YSL said: "Fashions fade, style is eternal."

Do you go to Europe ever?

Publicist PP here. I go to Europe for fashion week at least once a year. It doesn't change the fact that this look is dated and it looks like someone is trying too hard to look young and hip but they've missed the memo that the trend is over. There are plenty of cool outfits that OP can wear that look polished and put together that will look a million times better than this.

OP, I don't know what you own, what your regular style is, or anything about you, so I can't make any specific suggestions that will be helpful to you but the blazer and tee look isn't it.

What's a good look for a short (5ft) fullfigured woman? My style is more trendy than classic. I love heels. Examples of things I have: an a-line leather dress in a neutral color. Suede platform boots with stacked heel. Velvet blazer. Crinoline skirt. Several denim jackets and blazers. Animal print wedges. Denim dress with pussybow. Leather Obi belts in various colors.

My advice here is based on not knowing your body shape or anything so please remember that. This is so different than the advice I gave on accessories and holiday gifts because those items are pretty universal. I rarely, if ever, give anyone clothing advice without having seem them in person because I don't know how fabrics will drape and how certain materials will look on certain body parts vs. other parts and even saying "pear shaped" or "apple shaped" isn't enough because there's still such variety in those shapes and sometimes you'll want to accentuate one part and downplay another. So this is me shooting blind and I'm fairly certain it'll be a miss, but I'm going to try anyways.

In terms of the crinoline skirt - no, just no. That's not a good look, especially on a shorter, full-figured woman. And I say this as a 4'11" woman. If you want to update that look, take a look around for a simple pleated skirt in a metallic color. Your a-line leather dress sounds good. If it's a neutral color, then you can play up the accessories - especially your shoes - so make those pop and make them fun. Throw in a glam cocktail ring or big earrings. Depending on the neck line, a fun, bold necklace can also look fab. Do you have any type of bomber jacket? They're having a BIG moment right now, and the satin ones really help polish a look and pull it all together. (Shockingly, Abercrombie has / had a REALLY nice burgundy one for a great price!) If you're going to do a blazer, do a dark solid pant on the bottom (I prefer dressy joggers - I scored this one in black - but pick a pant that flatters your body), some sort of fun sparkly top, and a neutral, lighter color blazer with it. This time of year, I also love a flouncy, comfy cashmere sweater paired with a simple a-line skirt and over the knee boots. You might already own these, so put them together for a great holiday look. As much as I personally loathe denim dresses, you *can* wear it if it's flattering, paired with a leather jacket and boots, along with your obi belt. I'm a little more lenient with how I feel about denim dresses when it isn't wintertime, but if you're in a pinch, you can try to make it work.

One of my clients is a jewelry designer and she's a full-figured 4'10" gal so I've tried some of the looks above on her and she's loved them. Especially the dressing up of the joggers. She's obsessed with that look right now! Surprisingly, we don't have much luck dressing her here in DC but when we are out on the west coast, I find her some killer outfits at Ross and T.J. Maxx in Los Angeles. So if you're ever out there, spend an afternoon hitting a few of their locations. Chances are, you'll walk away with at least 6 beautiful outfits for less than $20 / each. (She's on a budget so we splurge on accessories for her and a few statement pieces of clothing, but then mix and match from Ross, T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, Nordstrom Rack, etc. for the rest of the pieces to her wardrobe)
