Kelly Cutrone at her desk

With her disheveled hair, unmade-up face and shapeless black garb, Kelly Cutrone is a cross between a bag lady and Anna Magnani. Her show, called "Kell  on Earth" (Bravo)  has, however, found a home in many a fashionista's heart. This is partly because of Kelly's "don't suffer fools lightly"  attitude (she just wrote a book with the title, If you Have to Cry, Go Outside)  and partly because the program exhibits the distinctly unglamorous side of the fashion.

We're talking about real "reality" TV, an accurate depiction of what goes on at a boutique fashion PR firm, with a leader who's equal parts mom and dictator.

And I'm addicted to it. Better tune in Monday night if you want to catch the last episode of the season. What will Skinner do? What will Kelly do? How does a long-haired Goth guy with black fingernails and lots of spiked jewelry navigate life?

Take the case of rocker, Patti Smith. Recently profiled in the Sunday Styles Section of  The New York Times, she discussed how she arrived at her image.

What looks like fashion hit or miss, is a base plan. “My style says ‘Look at me, don’t look at me,’ ” she explained. Read how she does it at http://nyti.ms/cdc5eT

Yes. And you can read all about it at more.com. The article, Coming Out of (My) Closet, by Sheryl Kraft, could make me seem like a fashion martinet, but don't believe everything you read. I suggest solutions very, very gently.

Anyhow, my time spent with Sheryl was Fun, Productive (I think we created about 35 new outfits) and Delicious (she makes a heck of a lunch). Here are 2  of her new looks using the same pieces, but different accessories.

If you're confused, overwhelmed or uncertain about your best looks (and what to do with all that stuff you own), get in touch with me so we can discuss what I can do for you!
