Street Style: Tina McIntyre's Shopgirl Style

This Street Style edition is featuring Tina McIntyre's shopgirl outfit worn on the Monday August 24, 2009 episodes.

Tina's personal style reflects her personality: youthful, price-conscious, flirty and casual. It's also relatively low-maintenance, compared to some of the ladies on the street of her age (read: Rosie Webster). I find that Tina's personal style is quite close to that of Molly Dobbs'. Only, Tina doesn't try as hard to dress it up as Molly does. This is likely because Tina has a similar lifestyle to Molly's, and her style reflects that lifestyle. She works in a shop, makes a reasonable (minimum?) wage, doesn't have a lot of money to go to a salon, somehow always has a tan, and has a tradesman for a mate.

Needless to say, she has a few showy pieces in her closet and doesn't mind dusting off the sex-appeal when necessary (remember her black ensemble when she was wooing our Jason?), but it's not full of pantsuits and gowns, or any expensive designer pieces. Tina's a woman-on-the-go who doesn't take an hour to dress herself, since she's got bigger fish to fry. Tina manages to look cute, well-kept and respectably dressed. Enough to attract a handsome fella! (Jason, not David).

In any case, Tina's one of those women for whom it really doesn't matter what she wears, because she'll always look great since she's got youth and beauty on her side. She knows that the woman wears the clothes, the clothes don't wear the woman.
