Fashion Do's and Fashion Don'ts

Sorry I haven't posted in a few weeks, but I have been out of town.

So, this week I'm going to talk about the three biggest Fashion Do's and Don'ts.

1. Dress for the weather. This is important, if it is 30 degrees outside you should wear a coat! If it is 90 degrees outside, don't wear a coat! Now, this may seem obvious, but people commit this fashion crime without knowing it. Have you ever seen someone wearing Uggs in the summer? That is a fashion crime!!!!!

2. You know, there is something known as matching too much. It is good for your outfit not to clash with itself, but there is a stage of taking it too far. Like it you had a printed shirt, which matched the print one your pants, which matched the print on your shoes. Your shirt and pants shouldn't be the same print. Also your shirt and shoes shouldn't be the same print. Your purse shouldn't be the same as anything in your outfit.

3. Accessories, accessories, accessories! This can make or break your outfit. Adding jewelry, belt, or jacket to any outfit can add that spark to make your outfit go from 'ok' to 'awesome!' BUT this comes with a warning. Don't overdo it. If you add too many accessories your outfit can look crowded and lose its simplicity. On the other hand, if your outfit is really simple, adding accesssories can make your outfit awesome. Also, you don't always have to have a belt or jacket or jewelry, sometimes with your outfit simplicity is the best way to go. You have to ask yourself, 'Is my outfit boring? Or is it simple?'

REMEMBER!! The best thing to do if your not sure with ANY outfit, is to ask someone you trust for advice! 'Hey, what do you think about my outfit??' That simple phrase can prevent you from many fashion crimes. And if someone ever asks you that, tell them the TRUTH!! You're helping them in the long run.

Look and Learn from these fashion DON'TS!!!!
