“What gives me joy is just to see the person wearing what I made and that person calls me back to say: “Modela, when I wore that dress, it was a stunner as always. Everybody complemented the dress, everybody loved my outfit! That make my day.”

Belted high-waist pants
bootcut trousers are more universally flattering. When wearing the trend, steer clear of Blake's(left) cleavage and instead stick to a higher neckline to elongate the body.
Long chain link necklaces
HOW TO WEAR IT: The accessory is great to wear on days when you're feeling a li'l edgy. Wrap it around your neck twice for a layered look. You can even pile on another type of jewelry, such as Kim's feathered option, to create the illusion of a completely different statement piece. Rock the trend with a black blazer and white shirt so that it not only complements your masculine-chic outfit, but so that it also pops!
jewel-tone trousers or Jewel-toned high-waisted pants
HOW TO WEAR IT: Keep this trend in mind as another way to dress warm at holiday parties. The colors are festive, while the tailored high-waisted silhouette is elegant and chic. Tuck in a cream or off-white blouse into the trousers for a flattering shape—and wear heels to elongate your frame. While Katie is obviously slender and tall enough to pull off the pants, she does herself a disservice by rocking clunky booties and a sloppy shirt. Tape a pic of Jenna or Katharine to your mirror before attempting the look.
