What to Wear

Fashion mistakes not to make!

Alright Ladies, so if you have trouble being able to decipher between things that match, and things that just make you look like you threw on every pattern you own, I have the tips that will help you to be able to tell what looks good... and what doesn't.

DON'T: Please, please, please don't mix patterns! When you have patterns clashing in an outfit, it makes it look too busy. People don't want to look at someone who is wearing a striped shirt, a polka dotted skirt, and floral boots. As a person who looks at fashion mistakes all the time, the impression I get from someone that has a clashing outfit is that they just don't know what looks good and how to pair things together. The simpler, the better in this case. Having a statement piece in your outfit is essential, but make sure that the rest of your outfit complements the statement piece. Here is a perfect example of what not to do:

This, Ladies, is were fashion is taken to an unwanted extreme. The color palate is correct, but the patterns are all wrong. If you are looking for a focal point, stick to one! The sweater, skirt, and socks are all different and very bold patterns, which in all honesty, just doesn't look good. The pieces are all fighting for attention, but negative attention is all they will get! If you have any questions or comments leave them in the comment box below and I will answer them with the best of my ability :)
