N E W   Y O R K, Nov. 10 -- Three good looks will take you a long way this winter, according to Lucky magazine's special projects editor Allyson Waterman.

Waterman showed off her weekend, office and party looks on Good Morning America as part of the show's "Monday Morning Makeover" series.

Weekend:

Iris Sutcliffe volunteered to have her weekend look overhauled by Waterman. Her original look consisted of high-waisted corduroy pants, white sneakers and an oversized jacket.

Waterman put Sutcliffe in a J Crew turtleneck sweater ($88), a Gap toggle coat ($98), kitten heels by Esprit ($55), boot-cut stretch corduroys by the Gap ($50) and a brown leather bag by Coach ($278).

Waterman says shoppers should always wear a sweater when trying on a coat to see if it will fit over bulkier items comfortably.

Office:

Melissa Rodriguez volunteered for Waterman's office makeover. Melissa had been wearing an oversized sweater set and pants that were too fitting, according to Waterman.

Waterman changed Rodriguez's look with an inexpensive, but classy look. She paired a $38 Gap wrap sweater with Banana Republic tweed trousers ($128), Steve Madden round toed shoes ($60) and a Tommy Hilfiger tote bag ($59).

"The wrap sweater is fitted and good for many body types, Waterman said on GMA. "The trouser pant works for everyone because it has a flat front, fitted through the leg but still has some movement."

Waterman says shoppers should always bring the shoes they plan to wear when trying on new pants.

Party:

Kristi McCormick allowed Waterman to change her party look. Waterman told McCormick that her original choice for her top was way too tight. She also said the velour material wasn't sophisticated enough.

McCormick's new look included a new beaded tank by Tracy Reese ($260), a tuxedo pencil skirt by Laundry ($155), Steve Madden heels ($69-$95) and a clutch purse from Express ($48).
