Five fashion mistakes …
You would never dream of making an obvious fashion faux pas.
But even dedicated fashionistas sometimes run the risk of making style snafus.
Here are fashion traps to avoid, with the fixes listed at the end of each:
1. Relying too heavily on the fashion media.
You buy all the fashion magazines religiously, watch awards shows, read the paper and keep up with all the online sources. How could that be a mistake?
By relying too heavily on the media to rule your wardrobe, you run the risk of being a fashion victim.
Remember: most magazines and TV programs about fashion produce an “aspirational” effect. They present you with fabulous clothes you’ll want to buy on fabulous models you’ll want to look like.
The problem is that a) you probably can’t afford any of the clothes they show and b) you’re never going to look like a supermodel or a celebrity.
