The Yes and No!

Finding our individual fashion sense is definitely a journey of self-discovery, fun, and inspired revelation, but it is also one of trial and error.  Some of us may get away with the trial, but unfortunately not always with the error. Between showing too much skin, wearing the wrong color combinations, over accessorizing, looking too sloppy or wearing too much make up, there are some looks that do not need to be revisited while there are others that can stand the test of time. 

How our clothes fit can either make or break an outfit. Avoid a fit that is too baggy especially in cases of a suit(shown below) or too tight in general. If you’re trying to achieve a chic baggy look, however; you can revert to the tasteful use of oversized wear similar to the image on the right.
 


How much make-up is too much make-up? One big no no of fashion is an overworked facial appearance. If you find yourself putting on one to many layers of foundation and blush, perhaps it is time embrace the more natural look.






















In terms of color mixes, colors such as yellow and brown are an example of combination that do not always necessarily blend well together; opt for staple color mixes such as blue and orange or yellow and purple instead.

      
On a more positive note, there are some fashion rules that never go out of style that every woman can follow to make it in the fashion world. These are the certain ‘you can’t go wrong rules’ that can be applied no matter the weather or season.

First up is adding a pop of color to your wardrobe. Color will always be in style and a tool to add some spice and variety into your looks! Mixing and matching colorful prints also works great with the right fashion eye!


The second and third timeless rules involve owning the ever so versatile black dress and a pair of black or nude heels to go with essentially everything in your wardrobe.


Owning a few items to accessorize that are not necessarily occasion specific such as a staple pair of hoop earrings in addition to a well-tailored blazer or watch will also bring usability and versatility into your closet. 

All in all, the greatest rule is that you do not always have to break the bank in order to achieve your best looks! Invest in a few quality treasures such as a lux handbag and then bargain or thrift for the rest. There you have it! You’re on your way to your best fashion year yet!
