Today I'm sharing the top 10 fashion mistakes many of us make and how to fix them. Now, fashion mistakes are a little controversial, I know, because ultimately there should be no right or wrong. Say no to plagiarism. Get a custom essay on “Why Violent Video Games Shouldn't Be Banned”? Get an original essay When it comes to fashion, I don't like having rules in pretty much any area of my life, let alone fashion which is really all about having fun and on self-expression. But there are some things that I see on a regular basis, and I think they are fashion mistakes, and by tweaking them and making just small changes, we can step out in style every single day. So if you want to see what I think there are some fashion mistakes that can be easily fixed, then read on. The first mistake I think most of us make is that we limit ourselves when it comes to fashion. We limit ourselves because of our age or our size. I've heard people say things like I'm too old to wear it or that I'm too fat to wear it. In the end you are not too nothing to wear anything. Fashion is fun, it's self-expression and don't limit yourself by thinking there are certain things you absolutely can't wear. So I think it's really important to start from scratch. Don't decide that you can't wear something because of something you read or something maybe someone told you, actually ignore everything and start over. Don't limit yourself. I've had people tell me I should dress my age. And ultimately, what does that mean, you know I'm going to be 51 next month and that also means that I should dress very conservatively or I don't know what that means and I don't think it should actually mean anything. I think we should dress how we feel and dress what makes us feel good. So my number one mistake in fashion is to stop limiting ourselves, to stop putting ourselves in a box and let others decide what we should and shouldn't wear. Another fashion mistake that I think is often made is thinking that a lot of skin and showing a lot of skin equals being sexy. And in fact I think the opposite is true, showing little hints of skin but not too much is in my opinion much sexier than showing everything and leaving nothing to the imagination. I think a gorgeous silk shirt worn with a pair of distressed denim jeans and heels is super sexy and doesn't show too much skin. So I think a mistake that a lot of us fall into is if we want to make sex attractive and feel a little sexier because we have to strip everything off and show a lot of skin. I think it's a fashion mistake and I don't think you need to show skin to look sexy in clothes. Another mistake is letting yourself be intimidated by fashion. I know it may sound a little strange, but we are often intimidated by fashion labels and fashion assistants. Now I know that feeling comes from walking into a fashion store and the staff will be amazing and they will be impeccably dressed from head to toe, but we have to remember that it's their job, they're there all day every day playing with the clothes, create clothes, stylize clothes. Don't feel intimidated by this. This often stops us from exploring new stores, new labels and new places to shop. We tend to go to places that make us feel comfortable and that's fine, but it means we don't explore other labels because we're secretly intimidated. Don't be intimidated. You deserve to look amazing regardless of the label and how you are dressed when you walk into the store. The other mistake is listening to what people tell us about what not towe should wear. Sometimes it's our moms who told us that we shouldn't wear a particular color or a particular style but that's usually not always true and old fashion trends evolve and show up. Evolve your personality changes so don't let some of those seeds that were sown by other people. Get in the way and cloud your fashion judgment. If you wear something and you feel great and feel good, then it's for you. Works! Don't let other people dictate to you and sow a seed of doubt in your mind. Another mistake is always shopping in the same stores. Now I understand that you can feel really comfortable with the styles, you generally have a good idea that those particular brands will suit you, but here's the thing that every season fashion obviously changes and labels also change their look and feel that they will have a new buyer that comes in and they start buying looks different and everyone has to evolve their labels. And I'm sure you can relate when you walk into a store and one season everything works for you, the next season not so much. So what I think is really important for us is not to just go to the same stores over and over again. Trust the stores you love and feel good in, but don't forget to explore other labels and other stores to create your own sense of style and help you evolve your fashion sense. Now, I don't really like to talk about right and wrong when it comes to fashion, but there is one fashion crime that I think is unflattering for everyone and that's the classic mid-calf cropped pant. Now the problem I have with this is unless you have long, incredibly skinny legs, anything that cuts off mid-calf will highlight that part of your body. Now the problem concerns most of us. The mid-calf is the widest part of our leg, so why should we highlight it. So I think unless you have great legs, everyone should avoid shorts that impress you. And mid-calf shorts are fine, but wear them 3/4 length or wear them just below the knee or just above the knee. The next fashion mistake that I think we can easily change is not wearing tops, skirts and pants that fall at the fullest part of your body. So, for example, if you carry most of your weight on your hips, the last thing you want is a top that falls squarely across that widest part of your body. This will highlight that area of your body so the eye is naturally drawn to that part of your body, so it's the least flattering place for a top to end up on you. Same thing with pants, skirts, shorts, whatever. If you follow the rule of making sure that tops, skirts and pants fall at the narrowest part of your body, then it could be just below the knee. It could be your ankle, if you carry most of your weight on your hips, opt for a dropped hem that will draw the eye down your body. It's all about illusion. Dress and create a slimmer and longer figure. Another fashion mistake is bras that don't fit well. Many times I have done personal styling sessions and tried the same top on the same woman but the only thing I have changed is the bra and often we wear the wrong size bra, the wrong shape bra and the wrong bra for the wrong one item. Things like wearing a lace bra under a t-shirt. It's a bit of a science when it comes to bras and I think it's really important to measure ourselves professionally and fish it professionally. Quite regularly our breasts change size and shape depending on the time of the month or it is a part of our body that tends to change more than the rest. So I think it is..
