"What Not to Wear" host Stacy London mouths off in Mebane

"Refresh Yourself" stylist Sheon Ladson files this report after the Tanger Outlet opening. Don't worry, it's TV related:

Regular watchers of TLC’s “What Not to Wear” probably noticed a difference in the latest makeover, which aired Nov. 5, of a San Diego therapist named Wanda.

Usually, the makeover contestants are given $5,000 to spend on a new wardrobe and they shop in New York City. But for the first time, a contestant shopped at an outlet, this one the Tanger Outlet Center on Long Island.

And it paid off: Wanda ended up with 45 outfits, instead of the 25-30 outfits that contestants usually can afford when they shop in the Big Apple. She stretched that $5,000!

"You're Wearing That?!?" is necessary, but not nimble

There just can't be too many makeover shows. You know it's true: most of us have no idea how to dress. Some of us are criminally deficient when it comes to style.

Like the women in the photo. I truly believe jail time is in order. She's one of the mothers featured in the new mother-daughter makeover show "You're Wearing That?!? (WE tv, 10 tonight). She has a nice figure, sure, but she's 54. And she's raising a daughter. Her complaint about her daughter's clothes? "She looks cheap."

Thankfully, host and stylist Luciene Salomone comes to the rescue. The format isn't radical; Salomone comes in to the home, meets the mother and daughter, and asks to see two of the outfits they'd wear for certain occasions. The mother gets to comment on the daughter and vice versa. That's how the shopping goes too; each gets to shop for the other, using the tips Salomone has shared.
