What NOT to wear

So, here's a little photo post with some examples of what NOT to wear and how to fix it. Enjoy!

#1- what's wrong with this outfit? First off, the cardigan is a dressier cardigan, and the skirt and shoes are casual.
#2- Fix one, Switch out the light wash skirt for a dark wash, and switch out the Toms for slightly dressier counterparts.
#3- Fix two, if casual is what you're going for, switch the cardigan for a more casual one.

#4-The problem with this one, isn't colors. It's the materials. The Toms and shirt are both very casual, and the skirt is very dressy. Velvet can NOT be dressed down. Ever. It's a highly dressy and pairing it with anything but another dressy piece looks mismatched.
#5- Fixed! Switch out the casual red shirt for a dressy one and some cute flats or heels.

#6- I decided to roll my post about being overly match into this post. So here is a picture of a very matchy outfit. I regret to say I've worn this outfit. A few times. And so we must learn from our mistakes, and lucky for you, YOU can also learn from my mistakes. Now. There there is nothing wrong with pink, but unless you are a 6 year old, it's probably a good idea to tone it down a bit.
#7- After realizing I looked like a run away teletubby, I made a little progress...
#8- MUCH better. Breaking up the colors so that one piece is the main focus, not to mention making the outfit much, much more age appropriate.

Cheers! Xoxo.
