In an exclusive interview with Female Network at the Cosmopolitan Beauty Con 2019, Em Millan of styling company Team Rain x Em shared a helpful shopping tip for the 30-something Pinay who wants to look more stylish: "Start with small pieces first like accessories..."
"For example, get a necklace in a shocking color," which you can then incorporate with the pieces you already own, said Em. "Then, later on, maybe you can try wearing a colored top or jeans..."
"Start small and [mix it with whatever] your personal style is para it feels more authentic. The result will be more stylish than trendy," explained the stylist of 30-something celebs like Bianca Gonzalez.
