Fashion Faux Pas: an unfortunate error in fashion etiquette.
Don’t be “unfortunate”.
Here are my top 5 ways to end up on the Worst Dressed List, (and remember.. this is all in good fun.)
Number 1.) Wearing Crocs if you are over the age of 10… and not in the medical field!
There is even a website called IHateCrocs.blogspot.com, their mission statement: “Dedicated to the elimination of Crocs, and those who think that their excuses for wearing them are viable”.
Number 2.) Your version of ombre is waiting six months in between highlight retouches.

For all those who were wondering what the definition of Ombre is, here ya go. Ombre according to about.com: “The hair world borrowed the term ‘Ombre’ from the french word meaning shaded or shading. Ombre hair color is generally darker at the roots through the mid-shaft and then gradually gets lighter from the mid-shaft to the ends. It is usually achieved using a balayage technique and is ideal for clients looking for a low-maintenance style.” Summary… Ombre is NOT just letting your “roots” grow out!
Number 3.)People who live in Sweat suits and or work out clothes… who A: never “jet set”, and B: don’t actually ever make it to the gym.
(if this isn’t you, and you are not going to the gym and/or airport… don’t do it!)
Number 4.) Fanny Packs. (Exception to this rule.. you are a makeup artist or hair stylist!)
(If Hulk Hogan can’t pull it off…. neither can you! And in case you were wondering, a trip to Disney does not constitute an exception!)
And Last but not least…
Number 5.) Mom Jeans! ie: those terrible highwasted pants with pleats, that taper around the ankle… usually give wedgies in the back and make you look huge in the front… not flattering!
Just because you may now be a mom…. does not mean you have to equal a fashion Catastrophy! There plenty of stores who now offer “denim experts” to help you find a flattering fit. Some examples of places to shop are Nordstrom, Gap, and Express, or better yet take an honest friend!
