Fashion Conscious

Fashion magazines and shop mannequins generally view the appearance of perfection in terms of  what to wear and how to be a success fashionista. Some of us do not have that elusive flair for fashion and try to develop a great costume for a special occasion that falls flat on our face !  Sometimes the question is not what to wear, but what not to wear. Let’s look at some warnings of fashion to help you avoid inappropriate selections.

Say you’ve been invited to a wedding. The occasion warrants a special dress, right? You have to remember not to outdress in  the wedding! Although the choice of a shimmery, glittering shawl during this fabulous dress may be beautiful and well suited to a hot dinner date, it will not work for weddings. This suit is in fact too good. You will get much attention, but the guests may try to distance from you. This is a classic case of what not to wear.

How about a warm dinner ? Perhaps your date is the conservative type. Wanting to impress your date with your vital statistics, you opt for a fine wool suit and a string of pearls. Guess what? This is another what-not-to  error. Although conservative, a sexy dress that is not too revealing, paired with high heels and delicate, shiny jewelry will make him proud to be with a woman beautiful.

Today, your dilemma is what to wear  for lunch with your girlfriends. This date is not to appear impressive on men, but a casual date with friends.  Do not let your show of insecurity by “dressing to the nines” or being too elegantly dressed. You can alienate your friends and feel underdressed. Go casual and charming, as befits the occasion. Tall, shiny boots and short skirts are the epitome of what not to wear here.

Office dress is often overlooked by aspiring fashionista. At work, it is important that you dress professionally. Unless it’s the office Christmas party today, stick to classic styles and unpretentious daily wear.

In summary, wear something that fits the occasion. Be yourself so that you may not feel uncomfortable for any reason whatsoever.

One last tip, if the guy who asked you for a date is just your size, do not wear high heels!
