Ten Fashion No No's







As I spend time back-to-school shopping, I find myself in a mall people watching as I wait for my girls to make their purchases.  I see a whole lot of fashion blunders walking past me, so I decided to use this as my next blog. 

Please note:  I am NOT the fashion police!  If you are my friend or associate and are guilty of any of these mistakes, I WILL still own up to knowing you.  I do know there is such a thing as a BAD fashion day.  All I ask of you on one of those bad days is before you step out of your house, step in front of a mirror first.

MY TOP TEN!

10. If you wore an article of clothing 20 years ago and even if it is seemingly back in style, DO NOT wear it again! Example: Leg warmers, Tie Dye shirts, ANYTHING that looks like it was once owned by Madonna, etc.
9. If you are over 25 years old, DO NOT show your belly off with a midriff shirt in public.  This is especially true for men.
8. If you have been to the beach and have white tan lines around your eyes from your sunglasses, please use concealer to make it less noticeable when going to an event.
7. Make sure your clothes fit. 
 Example: Men's jeans that are too long and slouch near the ankles or don't fit the rear end are not “IN.”
6. Hawaiian shirts should ONLY be worn at a pig roast or in Hawaii.
5. If at all possible, DO NOT wear high heels that are chipped or worn out.  That just isn't HOT

4. Don't wear lip liner darker than the lipstick.  They should blend together. 

3. Don't wear dark eye shadow AND dark lipstick.
2. Make sure your foundation is matched to your skin type.  NO line from your face to your neck should exist. 
1. If you’re over 30, DO NOT wear your hair in a high ponytail with a scrunchy UNLESS you are working in the garden

We all slip into our comfy clothes, which have worn out but we just can't bring ourselves to throw away, sometimes around the house.  These articles remind us of our youth or bring back memories of another time.  However, some people seem to think the old look is still working for them and then go out in public.  I am here to say, “It is out of style!”  To create a better you, ditch the palm trees on your shirts and get a great pair of jeans that fit.  Just maybe you will run into a trendy girl that wears........ leg warmers. ;)
