every wednesday is going to be all about the DONTS, the NOT OK'S, and the INAPPROPRIATE! One thing that really makes me mad is when college students roll out of bed in their pajamas and into class.
NOT OK: do not wear your pj's to class, no one wants to see what you dream in. The christmas pj pants that your mom got you 2 years ago are by no means acceptable attire for class. Its understandable if you have a 7am class and you dont want to put on those jeans or even think about what to wear but there is a solution.
EXCEPTION: Leggings are a girls best friend. Use the appropriate style of leggings to work out or for on the go. As long as a baggy sweatshirt isnt on top then your ok. An oversized cardigan with some comfy boots can be your go to roll out of bed for class clothes. Dress them up or down, just remember; leggings are form fitting that means WEAR APPROPRIATE UNDIES LADIES!
For most of us, the transition from summer to fall can be rough. Having to store away the daisy dukes, crop tops, and gladiator sandals can be hard. Trust me, i understand. But ladies, leave them for the summer. There is a reason sandals are for spring and summer ONLY.
DONT: Please do not wear sandals in the fall or winter and sometimes at the beginning of spring. I hate layering myself up, going outside and the first thing i see is a girl wearing all of the appropriate attire then you get done to the shoes and shes wearing SANDALS. I get if its the beginning of fall and its still warm enough to wear those gladiators but its November now and the extended deadline is officially OVER. Sandals should not be your last resort go-out shoe. If you feel as though you dont have any shoes to go out in then its time to invest in some because sandals are unacceptable.
EXCEPTION: Fashionable sandals that are in season are ok. Winter wedges are sooo fabulous, if worn the right way. Thick straps and dark color wedges are ok. Flip through the latest vogue and get some ideas. Socks with wedges or peep toe heels are also all the rage. Thin socks are the best way to go because it will be easier to strap your wedges and it will be more comfortable. Unless you just got a pedi, flip flops in the fall and winter are a DONT.
I love when i see girls trying out new trends. The socks with sandals, knee high's, prints with prints, knuckle rings, and last but not least sheer tops. Of course there are right ways to wear these styles and wrong ways. What really gets to me is when i see a girl wearing a sheer top inappropriately.
INAPPROPRIATE: Some trends are made for people and some arent. Especially with a sheer top with no tank, it can be very easy to make inappropriate. Ladies, if you do not have a thin figure please stay away from the sheer. The sheer top will do nothing but bad things to you. No one wants to see your love handles or back fat. No one wants to see your nipple either. If you cant pull off the trend then dont even try it. Curvy women can pull off things that other women cant so why try to wear a trend that will only hurt your self-esteem, your body, and the people around you? Ladies, be aware of your body and only wear what will work with it.
EXCEPTION: Sheer tops, like i said, are a new trend. Sheer tops with your bra showing through is very sexy but be careful. Do not wear just your average bra under that top. Make sure your bra is either a fun print, black, or nude. Also please do not over-do the sheer trend. If anything, rock the sheer top once on the weekend. Never wear sheer tops to work and never during the day. If you over do it then its not fun and sexy anymore, it becomes old news and quite honestly, trashy.
