Reverse the color

How many of you watch TLC's "What Not To Wear"?
  I love to watch the show.  The above gal is who they did a makeover on last Tuesday.
How did you feel about the end results?
Through my Image Consulting Certification, I learned that this outfit is not the best for her body shape.  This gal has a triangle body shape, which means she has smaller shoulders than her hips.  With this being the case, the coloration should have been reversed.  They should highlight the top part of her body, where she is smaller and put darker on the bottom where she is wider.
 
Besides reversing the colors, another good look for her would be wide leg pants with a fitted shirt on top.  Create a column by putting a lighter top on with darker pants and jacket, this will trim the hips.  Note:  Don't let the jacket hit at the widest part of the hip.
 
Do you know your body shape and what shape clothing looks best on you?
