Never leave home without a thong, and other common fashion mistakes

Anyone can present a stylish fashionable look, as well as anyone can make mistakes, but some fashion mistakes are just unforgivable. Are you in danger of being a fashion victim? Here is a list of 14 tips how to avoid fashion faux pas that are common for women, even for those who are ‘professional’ fashionistas.

1.Do not wear colors that don’t match your skin tone. Wearing the wrong colors will make you look pale and will accentuate your wrinkles. On the other side, your colors will give you a healthier and joyful look.

2.Do not wear fabrics that don’t match.For example winter fabrics tend to be heavier, denser and rougher, while summer fabrics are mostly made of natural fibers, single-layered and airy.They rarely match so, do a selection so you avoid accidents.

3.Do not let your bra and panty lines show. Always wear proper fitting underwear under your exact size clothing to avoid showing the lines. I say never leave home without a thong!

4.Do not get too comfortable with definite clothes. Is more important to dress appropriately for the occasion, than feeling good in your favorite pear of jeans. Don’t fall in love with your accessories.They’re only meant to spice up your wardrobe.The latest styles in handbags, shoes and jewels will bring your look into the current season.

5.Do not wear to much bling (especially if you wear it in areas that you don’t necessarily want to highlight-like a beaded chest sweater for a busty gal). A little goes a long way!

6.Do not buy clothes that don’t fit hoping you’ll loose weight or jackets with sleeves way below the wrist bone.Trust me, you’ll loose your interest quickly after.So, you better not buy them in the first place.(Unless you know how to adjust it yourself).

7.Do not mish-mash your wardrobe. Buying odds and ends on sale really helps you save money, but it may as well kill your personal style. Having a lot of different unmatchable stuff in your closet won’t make you a fashionista (I don’t mean to imply that buying on sale is always a mistake).

8.Do not overdose on a single fabric. Head-to-toe denim or velvet, for example, are ridiculous.
Do not get rid of your most flattering clothing cuts that is best suited to your body shape, when you decide to change your look.

9.Do not wear to much make-up. Makeup overdose creates an aggressive look and accentuates your lines.Try to come up with at least 2 personal makeup styles: a light and simple one for daytime and a bolder one for the evening.

10.Do not wear chipped nails. If you cannot afford a manicure, do it yourself.

11.Don’t wear an outdated hairstyle. Your hairstyle can be a information source for people about your age, social status, education and so on. All these are instinctive presumptions (not necessarily accurate).Visit your hairdresser on regular bases so you can notice if he/she has gotten you stuck in typical haircuts. Change your hairstylist if necessary.

12.Don’t wear mismatched shoes. Your shoes must match with your look and your outfit.
Don’t wear nylons that don’t match your shoes, pants or skirt. Do not wear nylons with sandals (if you’re not comfortable doing that try to find a super sheer, nude color, so it will look like you’re not wearing any).

I'm not much on fashion, but this is a solid, well put together blog IMO. I also like the style, but I'm kind of biased there.

Go check out mine if you get a chance, recently relaunched. www.bartraeke.com.

Hello there! Nice to hear from you! How are those "must have" stilettos holding up? I don't know how you women wear those things! Can I ask, are you in the UK or the US? I cannot tell from what I have read so far! Hope you are well!
