Major makeover: Melanie wants to inject some zest into her life - and her look

Melanie (47) is full of energy, but you can't tell from her look - at least not yet! It goes without saying that the big makeover by Lea and bonprix needs to be fresh and colorful. "We finally need something new, do you have any ideas?" And how!

Profile

Melanie is a school secretary and lives near Oldenburg. Her favorite pastime: driving through the countryside in her caravan. Melanie is 47 years old and wears size 40 shoes and clothes.

Her wish:

I am open to everything new! Let's go!

Outfit 1: Clear lines, a little twist

The trick is in the detail: the classic combination surprises with great jewelry effects on the trousers, and the belt is exactly the same color as Melanie's lipstick.

Outfit 2: Casual, casual

To ensure that the trendy palazzo trousers with side stripes don't look too sporty, it's important to always combine them in an elegant way, as shown here with a long blazer and sequin clutch.

Outfit 3: New girl on the block

Trendy: combine a pencil skirt (here in imitation leather with a great embroidery detail) with a relaxed top. The blazer in shades of brown and blue adds excitement.

Outfit 4: Red is the trump card

This jersey dress could become Melanie's constant companion, because on the one hand it doesn't need many accessories, but on the other hand it can be easily restyled. A statement necklace adds a strong accent here.

The hair: color accents & contour

A more intense brown emphasizes Melanie's beautiful eyes, the fringe flatters her face. Whether straight or curly - the short bob perfectly highlights Melanie's beautiful facial features.
