Everyone knows that fashion trends come and go.  The hardest part of style is knowing WHEN those trends become crimes of fashion!

All new and updated are some fashion trends that are becoming passe.  Don’t make your passion for fashion become a crime of fashion!  Stay current and up to date!

These are fashion blunders that you should never do.  Pay close attention because as you get older and more mature, your youth may no longer allow you to get away with these crimes!

1. Double denim…..never wear a pair of denim slacks with a denim jacket.  Mixing denim is o.k., but why not mix it with something more inventive-say corduroy, suede or leather??
2. All-leather looks.…leather is in but pair it wisely and tone it down.  Just because you see it on the run-way or on the movie stars doesn’t mean it’s everyday street wear.
3. Granny sweaters.…nothing ages you more than a pastel crew neck with a peter pan collar.  Open up your collar, put on a v-neck and show that you are alive and well!
4. 8″ Platform stilettos…ok seriously who can even walk in them???  Are you planning on using them for weaponry?  Instead try wearing a sleek moderate pump with a low vamp (opening).  Anything up to 3″ most people can actually survive the sidewalks in!
5. 80’s Dressing....we are seeing the resurgence of the 80’s but honestly if you wore it in the 80’s you’re pushing 30 years older and it won’t cut it the second time around.  Leave it for the 20 somethings!
6. Over-sized Bags...we are over them and you really should be too.  I’m talking suitcase-body bags!  You bag should be scaled to fit your body.  Besides who can carry one without reeking havoc to your shoulder??

Just remember that fashion is bought style is created.  Come and learn how to create your perfect style at Style Camp
