The following definition comes from the dictionary:
FASHION: a prevailing custom or style of dress, etiquette, socializing, etc. : the latest fashion of dresses.
There are numerous articles, magazines, shows, and books regarding fashion. You can learn how to dress for your body type; be it pear, apple, hourglass or magazine. You can learn how best to dress for success. You can learn how to dress for your 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's -- you get the idea.
My fashion advise: go with what works for you. I will add though that there are exceptions to this.
My list of fashion do's or don't's
DON'T: Wear pajama pants out in public. What are you advertising here? You want someone to follow you home and go to bed with you? They are pajama pants meant for the bedroom or around the house not for public viewing. This just says you are one extremely lazy person to lazy to even dress yourself for the day. Now, there is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing your pajamas all day, just keep it at home.
DON'T: Wear bedazzled jeans unless you are a teenager. I'm sorry but I just don't think wearing jeans with sparkles (bedazzling) all over the pockets in back is attractive for women. I don't necessarily like it for teenagers either. Why call attention to your backside? And frankly, most bedazzled jeans are found in the Juniors department. If you are over 20 you do not need to be shopping in the Juniors department. (This will definitely bring on the comments as my oldest daughter and I disagree on this. LOL When I go shopping with her I steer her away from that department and she continues to go back there. Glad the size fits but don't think clothes made with pre-teen or teen girls in mind should be worn by women no matter how cute they are).
DO: Dress appropriately for the occasion. Yes, you may look good in the workout outfit but it is not office wear. Same vein, that awesome looking nightclub dress is called a nightclub dress for a reason.
DON'T: Wear skin-tight clothes. I'm sorry no matter how good your body is your clothes should fit. That means that if you need help putting the outfit on, most likely it is at least one size to small. No one but your husband or wife needs to see every detail and outline of your body.
DO: Have one person who will be totally honest with you in regards to how something looks on you. This may be your husband, your wife, your sister, your best friend but be sure they are honest. They must not tell you how awesome you look unless it is the absolute truth. In our house, Gary is our go-to person. When we got married he very politely would let the girls and I know if something did not look right on us. He was never rude about it. There have been a couple of times that Charlie and I have looked at a picture of us and said 'What was Gary thinking, letting us go out looking like that?"
DON'T: Go with the fashion. It may be all the rage but that does not necessarily mean that it is the right item of clothing for you to wear. Not every one can pull of skinny jeans.
DON'T: Follow every piece of fashion advise you see or read. If you look long enough you will almost always find something that will contradict what another article said.
DO: Know your body and what looks good on you. That's the best piece of advise you will find anywhere. Know your body and what looks good on you. But also, make sure that you are comfortable in what you are wearing. No matter how good something looks on you, if you spend your time pulling or tugging at the clothing you are wearing you spoil the effect of the outfit,
