She Wore What!?!!

The fashion faux-pas, we've all committed them at one time or another. You know the whole "I thought this would go perfectly with that." And, you find out otherwise as onlookers pretended not to see you.

Sandals
Now the faux pas' I want to address is not one of fashion as it is more one of fit. Ladies, please take a close look at where your heels and/or toes lie in proportion to your shoes! This means if you cannot see the front rim on back rim of shoe, then your feet don't belong in them. Stop wearing shoes that unbeknownest to you are exfoliating your toes b/c they are on the ground being scraped as you walk or wearing shoes that are cutting the back of you feet b/c your heels are hanging over them. Trust me your feet will thank you for sandals, mules and the like that fits.

Babydoll/Swing Dresses
Some us need to wear more of swing and less of the baby. If you are a plus-sized woman, find a way to play up your assets, not detract from them by wearing clothing that makes you resemble Disney's beloved Dumbo in a baby bonnet. I know that may have sounded harsh, but consider it a kind dose of reality so that you may proceed with caution with these styles in the future. And stick with the women's department and stay out of the juniors department as my good friend "E" pointed out.

Leggings
Just like Jay-Z's "Hollywood," these ain't for everybody. If you're "too" anything, then leggings are probably not for you. Too skinny = not flattering, too big = most likely not flattering unless your top goes all the way down to your calves at which point, what would be the point of wearing them?

Just K.I.R
Til Next Time,
