Don't be a Fashion Faux Pas...

  Listen ladies, we all like to look classy, but don't mistake classy for trashy. While style rules seem to change from day-to-day, savvy women know how to put a wardrobe together so that they're always appropriately dressed. Avoid some common fashion mistakes and you'll be a fashion "do" wherever you go. Look at yourself in the mirror...if you don't think what you are wearing is appropriate or that it doesn't match, it probably doesn't...turn your ass around and march back into your closet and put something else on! Do us all a favor! Save your reputation too. People remember when you wear something awful...you want to leave a good taste in their mouth so that they'll always remember that "LBD" that you wore to the office holiday party, or the suit that you wore to a friend's wedding.


Even stylish divas can sometimes take a wrong turn when getting dressed, but these style missteps are easily avoided if you take care with your clothing choices. Don't let these eight fashion faux pas for women happen to you! It's not too late to turn around an as Michael Jackson sang it... "Make a Change"

1. Don't mix prints, ever, ever ever:  Please ladies, listen to me... don't mix and match! Compliment plaid, and paisley prints, or  polka dots, but for goodness sakes, don't wear them together. When it comes to prints, you can be daring; just don't clash. Choose one pattern you love and wear it on a body part you want to emphasize. This is your outfit's focal point and the best way to draw attention there is to keep the rest of your ensemble more subdued. Wear a ruffled, polka-dotted top if you want to show off a great neck, but keep your pants or skirt solid. You don't want to clash...and you certainly don't want to give everyone in the room a headache. That's what will happen you know....if you have too many colors and patterns on, you'll look more like a roadmap, going in a dozen different directions, and you'll cause a real crash all right...Unless your name is Nicky Minaj, or Lady Gaga..don't even think about it!

The Signs to watch for; the Don't of the fashion world
Good Lord, lose the panty lines: This isn't 1950. Thongs, boyshorts, something just leave the granny panty type out of the equation, please! With the many underwear choices available today, no woman should be caught out with panty lines showing through her skirt or slacks. Wear thongs under clingy bottoms and low-cut underwear beneath low-rise pants. A quick peek in your mirror before you leave home should tell you whether or not your panties are showing.

Evening wear during the day is a BIG NO NO!!!! Sequins and rhinestones only belong on rodeo queens during daylight hours. Otherwise, save your bling-bling garments for after five and when we've all had a few drinks at happy hour,..then your awful apparel won't look so damn loud!

Not dressing your age? If you're in your mid to late 40s, act like it, don't wear your daughter clothes! There's a reason many department stores separate Junior fashions from Women's styles -- younger women dress differently than their mothers. Low-rise hipster jeans and lace leggings are more appropriate to the younger set. This doesn't mean that women over a certain age must dress in a dowdy fashion. There are elegant and stylish choices for women of all ages. Don't make the mistake of dressing like the teenage girl next door if you've already waved bye-bye to your 20s.


Too many accessories: Unless your name is "Mr. T" don't wear a lot of bling, especially not out in public. Your jewelry will pack a bigger punch if it's not lost among a sea of other accessories. A pair of earrings, a bracelet or watch and a couple of rings are all you need to get through any occasion. Chunky jewelry, especially, should be kept to a minimum. Select one big piece as a focal point and leave it at that.

Don't follow the wrong trends: Many runway trends don't make it to stores because they're so extreme. If you're a slave to fashion, don't make the mistake of following every single fad. Style-smart women know which trends work for their body types and which don't. You'll need to figure out what looks best on your body shape and then shop accordingly.


If you think it's a bad fit,...then it probably is: You should always feel comfortable in your clothing. Constantly tugging, pulling and adjusting your outfit are all signs of a poor fit. Women need to be realistic about their true sizes -- don't buy a size 8 when you know you're a size 10. Your clothing will be tight and uncomfortable, which takes away from a confident appearance. Similarly, don't buy sizes that are much too large; they will just create the appearance if extra weight.


Does it show too much skin? No time for slutty or tacky sister, shape up and go for classy.There's a time and a place for cleavage or sheer clothing, so make sure you pick the right time and place. Meeting your boyfriend's parents for the first time, a church picnic or the workplace are not places to wear your most revealing clothes. Even if your bustline is your best asset, a little modesty goes a long way toward making a good first impression and looking like a professional.

Bridal Slippers or Stilettos?

Ladies, how many times have you looked back at your wedding day (those of you whom are already married) and asked...Why did I look so uncomfortable on the dance floor? Maybe it was because some nimwit friend talked to into a keen pair of stiletto heels that were, oh I don't know, perhaps some 3 inches too steep for you? Just a guess. Not everyone is made to wear steep heels, and not everyone wants to.

We sell a variety of shoes for your wedding day and every day that are inexpensive and look like luxury. Visit our store as we are currently updating our footwear with new styles for the season. www.SimplyDeliciousLingerie.com

Dancing in High Heels is really no different from walking in high heels. The trick is to be honest and feel comfortable moving in your shoes. So many ladies wear flat shoes for most of the time, but at your wedding somehow flat shoes just don’t cut it. So few brides, however, think about the ramifications of wearing her beautiful heels for the Wedding Dance.Moving around in heels seems so very different from wearing flats. We have all seen ladies tottering around, struggling with her shoes. If you can’t walk on your shoes then you just can;t dance on them either. During your Wedding Dance you not only want to look spectacular but feel comfortable too.

So, the first question must be “How do I walk in High Heels?”Walking in high heels is no different from walking in flats. As we move our body, our leg moves under us to hold us up. The foot its the floor first and then we roll over our bodies as our weight moves forward. We then do it again with the other foot. When wearing heels the process is exactly the same. We move our foot so that if we were not wearing heels the heel of the foot would strike first. As soon as we feel the heel of the shoe making contact with the floor then we roll over our foot in a forward motion.

Dancing in heels depends on what style of dance we are doing. Decide this far in advance so that you can practice your wicked moves. All of the traditional ballroom dances likely to be used for a Wedding Dance such as Waltz and Foxtrot will use the method we have just described. Dancing a Latin American style such as Rumba or Cha Cha dictate the toe descending first, which does depend on your weight being more forward. If you intend to do the "Chicken Dance" or any other the other crazy dances that new brides and grooms do today...do yourself a favor and take your shoes off,..trust me, you'll have a lot more fun and when the alcohol wears off a few hours later, you'll feel better and quite glad that you did.

There are some more tips we can give however. Think about your shoes, the ones you wear to work or around the home. Are they worn? More specifically, are they worn unevenly with one side worn more than the other? If so, you are walking favouring one side of your foot.

Walking on heels is easier when you use the central area of your foot, bring the foot into contact with the floor in the centre of the heel and then on to the central part of the front of your foot. The finer the heel, the more important it is to walk “centrally." Stilettos are more difficult to walk on for this reason.

If you honestly want to dance in high heels, you are crazy and already not under the influence of alcohol which I would very much have to been with steep stilettos on....wear them around and try to use them on a regular basis you must practice walking in them so that you are really confident that you can handle all sorts of surfaces. No one wants to see you with your skirt up over your head and your ass smacking the floor, but it happens...Try this; constructed ballroom shoes have kid soles entirely unsuited to walking outside but brilliant for holding and feeling the floor. They are great! I'm not necessarily suggesting that you need dance shoes or even Isotoner Slippers, but do consider how it feels to walk on a hard, smooth floor – and now on a dance floor. Remember if you cannot feel comfortable walking on this surface you will not be able to dance on it. Screw the saying "No pain, no gain!" if your feet are sore, your back will hurt. It really isn't worth it, is it?
