Before

Cheryl's ensemble -- khakis and a dark top, both of which hid her figure -- needed a shot of color and personality.

After

A punch-colored dress amped up with multicolored beads works for the office, a weekend brunch. The v-neck elongates her upper body and draws attention to her decolletage.

A lesson in mixing and matching, this outfit incorporates four different, but complementary, colors: white, yellow, teal, and blue.

This bold dress has a subtle pattern and a flattering A-line shape. A patent-leather belt and metallic sandals completes the look.
