Fashion Do's and Don'ts

We have all seen blatantly obvious fashion don’ts on the street, in the halls, or at the mall. The ladies with the ridiculous mullets, the lady who wore every shade of purple in her closet, and the woman who decided to wear boots made of yeti fur.
A key tip to avoiding fashion catastrophe is to dress for your shape and size. Know your shape whether you are pear-shaped, curvy, boy shaped, petite, or busty. Figuring out your size will help you from either busting out of your clothes or drowning in them.
Something we all want to avoid in life is the muffin top; it’s almost as worst V.P.L. Avoiding the muffin top can be difficult considering the downhill evolution of our once favorite jeans. Some designers have decided that woman no longer have hips, butts, or thighs causing the trend of the super low rise jeans with no stretch. The stretch in the jeans is a savior to many. Go for the jean that sits on the hip or a little above the hip and that has some stretch in it; it will save you the hassle and embarrassment of having to deal with the unfortunate muffin top.
While on the subject of jeans please remember that if your jeans are ripped and expose half your thigh it is best to keep them at home. A distressed pair of jeans with a tiny rip or fray is fine but if half your leg or backside is exposed than its best to leave them at home.
Color is key in fashion, but overloading on color is another fashion don’t. When working with color never overload on that color. Just because every piece you are wearing is purple does not mean it matches. Colors have many shades, undertones, and warmth’s to it. Focus on a key color preferably one that compliments your skin tone, hair, and eye color. Pick a color and match it with neutrals to make it stand out. Accessories are a great way to add colors into your outfit you would normally shy away from like a scarf, handbag, or coat.
Designer handbags are a wonderful fashion statement, but not all of us can afford them. When buying a knock off the key to making it look authentic is to keep to the original concept and design of the creator. Try not to go outside the box with colors. When buying a Chanel stick to black and white lets. Remember just because it has a designer label on it does not make it fashionable; head to toe label is a fashion don't.
