Kirsten is a nice looking woman and I like her as a host but I wish someone would find a good stylist for her. Yesterday she was wearing a shapeless floor length gray skirt that looked like she was wrapped in an old blanket, with big heavy clumpy boots (or shoes..?) and a skimpy top that didn't even begin to match anything. Add to the mix that her hair didn't seem to have even seen a brush lately, and the overall picture was not pleasant. I do not usually bash any hosts but I couldn't help being disappointed at the mess Kirsten was presenting to national television and I am surprised that QVC allows this. She is a pretty woman and could look so much better. And ladies, before you start criticizing me - this is just my personal opinion.

I know it's your opinion but I saw her and while her choice of clothing wasn't to my taste thought she looked great. She was wearing the TSV boots which I didn't like the look of them with the skirt but that is what is being worn now. I also noticed nothing wrong with her hair either. I don't watch with the expectation that every host/vendor/model has to conform to what I like. It's your opinion and that's fine but to say you're surprised QVC allows this (her going on air in a look you don't like)....!!!!

way too casual to be on air representing this business

fine for running errands but not going to work

QVC programing is more casual now - thank goodness!!! She was wearing the TSV boots also. The long skirt would be cumbersome to run errands.

Also, they want to make the hosts your friends and so why would they have to dress uppity. I once heard a host say thanks for inviting me into your home so why would I insist on a guest to my home dressing for a boardroom!!!??

It makes no difference what anyone is or is not wearing - if I want to purchase something, a host/vendor's clothing has no bearing on it.!!

It appears that some are stuck in bygone days and can't accept that life is so much more casual now!!

No one has to like the way fashions are in this day and age, but it's a reality! that is not going away!

I remember when I was young, I thought I could throw on just any thing and look great, maybe that's how Kirsten feels. Kirsten is very fit and I think she's attractive, but her job is TV sales and she should look the part. I'm surprised the Q doesn't have some sort of standard for dress and hair and makeup, I thought they had people who helped the hosts look good. I usually don't watch Kirsten's shows because I don't feel she likes what she's doing, I feel her presents are flat and tired unless she's presenting athletic equipment of some sort.

ITA with the suggestion that QVC try some new looks for the hosts or consider getting a new stylist. I would like to see some hair makeovers on certain hosts.

I must admit OP, I saw that skirt and immediately thought of The Munster's Show!

Kirsten is from California, and is a beach girl. She admits her taste in fashion, home decor, and pretty much all else is "California casual" and much inspired by the water, and when she and her hubby lived on a boat for years instead of land. And she feels she is still pretty young, and has stated that her husband loves her well-exercised body, loves her figure and they way she dresses. Now I think she dresses for her style and her man. What is wrong with that ?

Nothing is wrong with dressing for her style and her man on her own time, but when she's on QVC's time, I think she should dress and present herself a little better.

Well, if no one has corrected her, tried to change her, or they possibly do dress her with her input, who are we to criticize ? She has stated frequently that she loves the color blue, it many forms, more the shades of the ocean, the darker colors, but all colors, and I do note that she wears a lot of various shades of blue, so it obviously is a favorite. But I see nothing wrong with that. Don't we all tend to dress often in our favorite color ?

I've never seen Kirsten look bad in anything. She always looks good.

I didn't see what you are talking about but Kerstin has 2 daughters. She and her husband adopted a daughter and I believe while they were in the adoption process, Kerstin found out she was pregnant.

She has written a blog about her struggle to conceive, adopt and shared some of her heartache. It was very touching.

Re: Kirsten

I'm sure the Q would have loved it if she had adopted while an employee. Another marketing strategy. It's unseemly to be wriing such personal matters to a bunch of unknowns. Is nothing private or sacred?

I agree with you. Just like Courtney and her wedding, I think it's tacky to use such personal events as a sales tactic. QVC is as bad as the Kardashians.

Yes, I know I read that blog a few months ago. It was very touching. The video clip/commercial is usually shown durng the Christmas shows they are showing now. Kirsten is at a playground interviewing little kids about being naughty and nice. They are all so adorable. She was hosting and they showed the clip, and she pointed out how the little one at the end was her daughter. I don't know which one was her other daughter because they have a bunch of kids in there. The little girl eating the ice cream sandwich looks exactly like Kirsten---it's so cute!!!

A couple of hosts did in fact adopt while hosts at QVC. Did you know that? If not, I guess that blows your theory.

Same here. Lisa Rinna is "California casual." It's nice to be casual, but then there's a good-looking casual, and she could put together a good looking casual. Sloppy and ill kempt, just rolled out of bed, isn't a generational gap or work casual.
