DO's and DON'T's fashion guide!

DO wear shoes that make a statement! Interesting eye-catching shoes (e.g. shoe on left, from Office) or super high shoes (e.g. from Aldo, right) .

DON'T ever ever EVER wear crocs anywhere if there is the slightest chance that someone might see you! I saw some of these dreadful things in the window of a London shop for something like 40 pounds ($80)!! Ridiculous!! Who would do it?! Another one to note is not to bother with dull dolly shoes; EVERYONE has them..

DO mix cheap dresses (e.g. from Primark) with (relatively) expensive accessories.

DON'T show your tummy with short cropped tops. This is NOT fashionable. The only way youn can perhaps do this is if you have a very cute small t-shirt, a VERY flat tummy and nice skinny jeans.



DO wear cute summery dresses (e.g dress to right from Forever21)

DON'T wear plain t-shirts with plain jeans and plain shoes; you look boring! On the other hand don't wear patterns head to toe either.

DO take a look around charity shops and through parents and grandparents old clothes; vintage stuff is great. You can be very successful in finding things like belts and jewellery by doing this. I always get comments on a bunch of my Mum's old belts that I took from her as she was about to throw them out!

DON'T buy anything that everyone has as this does not make you fashionable, it makes you a clone. If you really like something that everyone has, buy something similar with a unique twist.

DO be daring and try wearing things such as high waisted shorts and dungarees that look cool in magazines but you don't see many people wearing. You may start a trend!

DON'T forget about accessories. A pair of cool sunglasses are essential and make you look amazing. Long necklaces with lots of cute detail or something big and bold can make an outfit. Wooden and metallic jewellery looks great.
