You might not really have watched Real Housewives (like me!) but yet you can't really ignore these women and their unique styles. Whether it is they who dress themselves or it is their stylists, although I do think its them (judging by how some look!) there are a few lessons to be learnt here and there..
Most of these women look like they raided their teenage daughter's closets, while some of them can really pull it off, the other few just fall flat..
So here are some 'tips' for you to dress BETTER than a Real Housewife!
