The Dont's Of Summer Fashion

I've given my fair share of major don'ts for spring fashion, but now that summer has come into full effect...so have some summer fashion don'ts. From head to toe, beauty and fashion, it's time to indulge in the unglamorous sights that sneak out into public.

1. Daring To Show Your Delicates

I see London, I see France, I don't want to see your underpants! Backless dresses, tank tops, white clothing, and so much more skin start coming out to play during the summer time heat - but lets keep our undies to ourselves, yes? No matter how pretty, patterned, or bright your panties maybe, I'd rather not see what's giving you a wedgie. If you're wearing daring short shorts or even cute white shorts or skirt, turn the color volume down and keep with the basic nude or white color tones.

...but lets not forget about the upstairs. It's like a fashion horror film playing out before my eyes when I see girls wearing backless tanks or dresses...and decide to leave their bra in open view for the world to see. If nobody wants to catch a glimpse of a side-boob, no one wants to see what's covering it up either. There are millions of strapless, backless, you name it, bras out there that you can wear when your go-to bra isn't doing you justice.


2. Hair...down there?

It's time for a trim...downstairs. This don't was hard to find an example of...and I think that's because everyone pretty much agrees about it. There is no way of sugar coating this, no one wants to see whispys coming out of your bikini bottoms. Pickin' up what I'm puttin' down? Good. Trim it up, wax it off, frankly, I don't care as long as it's not in my view. That itsy bitsy teenie weenie whatever bikini is called itsby bitsy for a teenie weenie reason - it's not going to cover those overgrown wild ones trying to catch a glimpse of the summer sun.


3. Leave the buns in the bread basket

So we've talked about not showing your undies, but obviously people don't know the difference between shorts and wearing denim underwear. If your shorts are short enough to show that crescent moon of your butt cheek, it's time to invest in another pair. Do what you want with the cheeky look on the beach where you're trying to get your tan on, but out in public is not the place to see how little fabric you can get away with. Leave those baker buns and crescent rolls in the bread basket where they rightfully belong.


4. And this little piggy was a hot mess

I was glad that my toes got to see the light of day after being stuffed into boot after boot this winter, but that was before I saw the chipped winter polished toes squishing around in summer flip flops. I can understand chipped nails, whether it's a habit you can't kick or a rough day, but toe nails? It's bad enough seeing toes hanging over the edge of shoes, but to see a fully painted piggy besides a hot mess of a toe nail is nothing to prance around in the public eye.

Have a few don'ts that you want to rid the public of this summer? Instagram it, Tweet it, Facebook it, Pinterest it, whatever you like and tag me so I can see! Happy summer!

The Don'ts Of Spring Fashion

We've all seen first hand a major fashion don't while in public...and there might have been a moment where we had been sporting a fashion don't. Since spring has excitedly approached, I thought it'd be helpful to give a little insight on what not to do this season. I've been seeing more and more of these five major don'ts lately - and I just can't stand it anymore. It's time for some of us to get on track and be remembered for what we do well in our outfits rather than what we don't.

1. Bronzer and Blending

 It's spring or summer and you didn't have the fortunate opportunity of soaking up the sun on a sandy beach, so you eye the bronzer in the aisle and think, "No one will ever know." WRONG. When your face doesn't match the rest of your body's natural color you know you've gone too far. If you absolutely need bronzer, know how to correctly apply it. Nothing is worse than have a big orange line trailing on your jawline. This isn't the time to color inside the lines, so DO blend your make up outwards so it nicely blends into your natural tone. 

2. The Root Of The Problem

It's important to always stay in touch with your roots in life - and that means your hair roots too. All I've seen lately is bleach blondes that need to get in touch with their dark roots. It may look artistic in a magazine, but once you venture out into the real world it's hard to drag your eyes away from - and not in a pleasant way. So DO skip the shopping and take a seat at the salon instead.

3. Muffin Tops

 Love handles, muffin tops, coin slots, whatever you wanna call it - it's time to put it away. With crop tops and jean shorts barreling back into our lives, muffin tops are coming back into view. No one body is the same, we don't all have the luxury of slappin' on some low rise jeans without a little spillage over the sides, just because you can button it doesn't mean it fits. There are ways to hide it. High waisted shorts or jeans, flowy tops, and intriguing patterns are all lovely little things for spring - and to hide your little bakery delicacy.

4. Wear for the Weather 

It's forty - fifty degrees out, you see the short shorts in your closet, do not pick them up. No matter how tempting the increasing temperature outside may be, wearing your shorts or sundresses too soon can make you look incredibly out of the ordinary. Would you wear a swim suit out in the snow? No. So don't skimp on the material until you sense the time is absolutely perfect. 

5. We all hate cliff hangers

Nope, this cliff hanger doesn't leave me in suspense and wanting more - toe hangers have me back tracking to get away from the sight. Spring brings open toed shoes (which I cannot wait to wear out again) but seeing someone's toes hit the pavement before their shoes do can make you rethink your shoe choice. No matter how pretty your spring shoes are from last season - if they don't fit, get rid of them as fast as you wanted to get rid of all that cold weather. Oh, and don't forget to get a pedi before you debut your toes. Nobody wants to see what's been hibernating in those boots all winter.
