Here's My 2 Cents on Fashion No-No's

I would definitely be the first person to openly and quite rudely admit that there is absolutely NO  exception to fashion rules.  I believe that creating a look that expresses your own awesome and most spectacular personal style would be OK, but even that can exceed it's limits, and you do NOT want to go down that road ladies. So lets talk turkey for a few moments shall we? Fashion no-no’s, with no questions asked, hands down fall into a league all their own. You just don't do it. No way, no how...get rid of the ugly clothes. Burn them please don't give them away, no one wants to drive down the street and see them on someone else!

 95% of the time universally speaking we find an outfit that is totally unflattering that we might not think is so bad after all. But guess what, it is! Do women not know this outfit would be burned by the fashion police? Do women just get dressed in the morning thinking that this is cool, or are they out in left field somewhere not able to relate to fashion at all? I, for one, know of no woman who wakes up each morning thinking, “Why don’t I put something on today that looks dreadfully shitty?” It just doesn't happen, but there is that other 5% that lives on another planet that thinks that what they've selected to wear today is quite hip and cool! The cold hard truth is that they couldn't be more wrong. Lookie here..., colors clash and so do various patterns, and no one want to go into work or  to meet a group of friends for lunch looking like Rainbow Brite...so leave the multi-colored outfits in the closet with the unicorn.

 Why are there so many fashion no-no’s floating around out there?  And, now really, think very carefully…have you experienced one yourself? I have, when I was younger for Halloween and that was even scary. People really do dress goofy in public.There are a ton of reasons why these no-no’s are so pervasive.  Let me briefly share a few.

Are You Trying to Hide Your Body? Women are given messages all the time about what the “perfect” body should look like, and when they don’t feel like the body measures up, they just try to hide as much of it as possible. Sad that this is the way things are, and even worse that women have to feel poorly about themselves because of a few people with bitchy attitudes that think they can set the standards. This has become so over-simplified, but body image issues are rampant in our society today and it's all about looks. What happened to personality, integrity, and character? Just ask any woman how she feels about her body and 9 times out of 10 you’ll hear a barrage of self-critical comments about parts of her body she’s unhappy with rather than loving, glowing comments that bring a smile to her face. 

Unconscious Decision Making with Wardrobe: For a dozen or so reasons, so many women have given up trying to create a wardrobe and personal style they love. My question is this; Who in the world taught some of these people how to dress in the first place? Often women will resort to what is comfortable and easy and "not horrible." I hear this one so often...  As a result, they have given up on their beauty (some have no idea they even have any natural beauty and oh if they really would only take a good hard look at themselves they would see that they have so much beauty and potential.) These women just want to blend in and cover their body so that they don't get taunted and teased by others.

Comfort is Cost Effective: I don't know about you but it seems that our lives tend to get crazy and if you add the fact that as we get older we tend to get less tolerant of clothing that doesn’t feel good personal style often goes out the window in lieu of endlessly cozy options. Cost effective has nothing to do with dressing horrible. Cozy is great and all but think before you walk out the door in something hideous. If you don't know what I am talking about come to Youngstown, Ohio and go with me to Walmart after 11pm. Where are the fashion police when you need them? Yes comfort is great, but think about style and flair and fashion when you are trying to put together an outfit for the day. I think the  problem here is that we become very narrow minded about what is comfortable (polar fleece and yoga clothes top the list next to Pajama bottoms and big baggy sweatshirts, seriously? Are you going to wear scrunchies in your hair too?) when, in fact, there are surprisingly fashionable comfortable clothes out there – but that’s for another article on another day!

So listen here's the 4-1-1.... Have you ever gone to a business dinner and wondered, “what was going through their head when they came up with that outfit?” It’s good to know some etiquette about expected attire, not because you need to be a stickler for rules, but more because you don’t want to offend everyone around you. No short short skirts and dresses. We don't want boobs hanging out so don't wear your daughters dress that came from the junior department, and for heaven sakes no hoo-hah hanging out of your dress either. Have some dignity and respect for yourself, please! Think before you dress. You don't need to spend a lot of cash on clothes, you can get great values and sales on really nice looking attire if you just take the time to look!Go back to the basics, get old fashion and dress in an appropriate manner.
