Fall Fashion Do's and Don'ts

Working in retail I see people with great style and others well, not so much... Sometimes I find myself needing to fix the expression on my face quickly before they notice I have a "WTF are you wearing?" look on my face. Here are my biggest pet peeves and the solutions to them.

1. Shorts/capris with boots (DON'T) / Solution: Skinny jeans tucked into tall riding boots

2. Button down shirts worn as a cardigan (DON'T)/Solution: JUST WEAR A CARDIGAN! HELLO?

You know how people will wear a button down dress shirt and leave it open to expose a tank top or t-shirt?  Please stop.  Just button up your shirt and wear a cardigan over it or pull over a cable knit sweater.  Ta Da!  Examples of said solution:

3. In the workplace, particularly during the Fall season, it's appropriate to pair your dresses with a pair of tights.  It makes the outfit look more polished and professional.  So cheers to a free pass to not having to shave everyday! Ha!  Lesson here? Dress with bare legs= DON'T/Solution: tights or tall socks with boots.  Here's a pic of a perfect look for work:

4.  Sigh.  I do love nail color, but in the Fall walking around with your pointers looking like Rainbow Bright is not cute.  Choose earthy or jewel tones for nails.  If you must do a different color on each nail, try the ombre effect.  It works for both weekend and work if done in a neutral color.
