There are few woman as recognisable as Ms Oprah Winfrey. After decades on television I know that for me Oprah feels like the aunt I wish I had {not that there’s anything wrong with the ones I have!}. Strong, powerful and with an empire under her belt it always amazed me that when it came to Oprah conversation almost always turned to her appearance {weight in particular} or relationship. I mean come oooooon. Surely when you are coming up with things to discuss about Oprah there are more interesting things than THAT!? Like her clothes for example, haha!
THE LOOK.
Sure for the majority of us {all? Maybe all.} Oprah’s wardrobe is a little out of our reach. With designer duds and killer shoes Oprah is always immaculately dressed for appearances and interviews. What I admired most about her on air outfits was the diversity of styles and her willingness to give the trends a go while always looking very classicly styled. You know, if you ignore the nineties. So what should you be looking to add to your wardrobe if you want to steal Oprah’s style?
I think you should start with some classic dresses and tops in the wrap style. Well fitted, well made and in classic colours. Then add one good pair of jeans either in a straight leg or a capri. If you’re doing an Oprah, there will be heels involved and these styles look killer with heels. Look to accessories to change up your look and add interest and colour. Invest in a quality bag and some great shoes and hey presto you’re there.
Last but not least when you’re off duty, enjoy being off duty with comfy layers, flats and makeup free skin. I still think that the photo I saw on Facebook back in July with Oprah, makeup free bbqing at home is one of my favourites. She just looked so relaxed and happy. It said a lot {for me, maybe for you too} about the opportunity we have on social media to be real, to show ourselves as we are behind the primping and preening. I love love that. And now, on to the collage!

Hi! I’m Suger and I’m the Chief Blogger here. I make stuff for the internet. Which means I take photos, build websites, write copy and create social media plans for people. This is my blog where I share my life and the things that interest me. It’s been living its best life on the interwebs since 2009.
Gosh I love Oprah, for so many reasons! I grew up watching her and I think she is such an inspiration. She is basically the epitome of all things good in life – the underdog who succeeds, the marginalised and oppressed who fight to the top, the philanthropist. What she has done in her career for herself, for women and for the disadvantaged is amazing. She has always used her platform and her voice to create change on all the important things. I’m sad her show is over now 🙁
Same Sheri. On all counts. Every one of them.
I like that light grey dress, the yellow dress, the jeans and cardie look.
I LOVE that midnight blue evening gown!
The gown is all kinds of wonderful, right? AMAZING.
