URBAN LIFE 'N STYLE NOVEMBER 2016 | TAKE ME BACK | Page 40
Whilst we should all have
our own personal style, there
are a few “no no’s” that we
should avoid. Things that
pop to mind immediately are
a wrinkled blouse or clothes
that are too small!
Here is what not
to do to stay fashion
forward!
1.

WEARING SHOES YOU
CANNOT WALK IN: If the shoes
don’t fit, then don’t wear them. If
you are unsteady in heels, then
stay away from them.
VISIBLE BRA STRAPS: Either
conceal them or make them
intentional. There is nothing
worse than having bra straps
showing, when they really are
not supposed to be.
Confidence comes from
feeling comfortable in what you
are wearing. If your feet are
killing you, believe me it will
show on your face.
2.
OVER ACCESSORISING: Think
less is more with accessories.
Focus on wearing one accent
piece, and then tone down the
rest. If for example you are
wearing an eye catching bold
necklace, then opt for a pair
of understated earrings. You
don’t want to start looking like a
Christmas tree.
3.
FIT IS VITAL: This is one thing
that I talk to people about all
the time. Wear what size you
are now. As much as we would
love to be the same size that we
were at 18, at 40, this
generally will not be the case.
You are the only one who knows
what is written on the size label.

There are so many options
available that allow you to not
have them showing, invisible
straps, strapless bras etc.
Consider this when buying
anything that may not work with
a conventional bra.
5.
LEGGINGS: We all love them,
they are comfortable and easy
to style. Worn with oversized
tops and long shirts are fine, but
don’t wear them as pants with a
short tee or crop. It’s
especially not okay when they
are worn and become
see-through.
Style is a way to say
who you are without
having to speak
