Fashion Talk - Part 2

Style is about polish and more importantly, about confidence.

Sometimes, though, sporting an ugly ensemble with confidence doesn't necessarily work. Attempting to assert their individuality, we often see people take fashion to the tacky. Quite honestly, this is ok. Without the no-no's, how can we gauge what is tasteful and what is intolerable? Let's take a look at some key don'ts for females in today's world of style:

Don't wear accessories in ways they are not intended. Take the the Rambo band, for example. This misguided soul does not resemble Sylvester Stallone, nor is she carrying an AK-47. Headbands are meant to be worn on the head, not around it.

Don't wear tights in obscure colors or tights that are overly textured. Yes, leggings are cool, but coordinate them correctly - they should not stand out. Hey, chica! 1980's Madonna called. She wants her lacy, pink day-glo tights back! Oops, I take that back. Even 80's Madonna didn't wear anything as hideous as these.

Don't wear too sheer lace out in public. Frocks like this belong in the bedroom only. Oh, and if you bought it at Frederick's of Hollywood, it should be worn under clothing, not as clothing.

Don't wear a top that accommodates a visible bra. If the exposed bra is unavoidable, at least wear a pretty bra.

Don't wear jeans that don't fit. Baggy jeans are for rappers. Too tight jeans give you muffin-top. Find a pair that fit you just right.
