“'Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably
and they remember the woman”, said the priestess of fashion, Coco Chanel. So
far in my posts, you have read about a couple of the latest trends this summer,
and how to best carry them. In this post, the objective is totally different.
Some say not following a fashion trend is criminal. In my opinion, following it
blindly is disastrous!
Here are some of the eyesores I can honestly put people in
jail for committing.

Checks and stripes and everything printed
(together!!!): I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve seen this...printed
pants and striped top, checkered skirt with a printed top. The permutations and
combinations are endless…Whatever happened to simple, fundamental, plain or
even call them boring basic colors, teamed up with wild prints, and checks?

Monochrome: There are over a million of colors,
and all you chose from head to toe is just one! Prejudice! Injustice! Unfair!
Some of the words I chose to describe your bias if you opt for this…It’s disheartening
to see the same color in your hair accessory to your heels…from your top to
your jeans…from your bag to your watch…phew! Combinations and contrast
definitely add that ember spark and delight to ones look…so try them out
without any hesitation please!

Body hugging clothes: Spine chilling is what I
call it…some of us are so scared of our actual size, that we end up wearing a
size or two smaller, under the false impression that it'll make us look
thinner….Sorry for the Earth shattering news, but wearing a dress size 6 when
you're actually a size 10, won't make you a size 6! It’ll only add a lot of
volume and make you look way heavier than you actually are. Even if you insist
on wearing that body hugging top you bought, please ensure that you team it up
with lose pants J

Over accessorizing: While accessorizing, always
keep your end look in mind. Working backwards from the end product is often the
unrivaled way to chose amongst the array of accessorizing options we have. Will
I tie my hair, or let them lose? Will a chunky neck piece enhance my look more,
or dangling earings? Clearly both can't be an option. In my mind, an accessory
is best if it complements your clothes, but never draws attention from them!
Would love to know about the fashion disasters you've been
witness to. As always, keep your fashionable foot forward ;)
Impressive article Tanya :) Keep writing . Although I am monochromatic when it comes to fashion, but I hope it doesn't apply to men :P
