Fashion is a changing art, some trends are a total no-no and some become a fundamental rule. So here I am today to list 7 most common fashion mistakes that you might be doing right now!

1) Don’t mix prints in one outfit

This is a common mistake that everyone makes. We think that the outfit instantly becomes too busy when we mix two prints together but that isn’t true, here are a few tips to incorporate multiple prints in just one outfit. Mixing prints that belong to the same color family is the best way to go. Keep it simple and monochrome. Treat camo and leopard prints as your print neutrals! Add a camp or leopard printed accessory to an existing print in your outfit and see the instant transformation! 

2) Mixing Gold and Silver accessories are a major fashion Faux Pas

This is a total myth! Mixed jewelry have been in trend for a long time now! Accessorize your look with some gold and silver metallic flash tattoos to see how they add a glamours edge to your rather boring outfit.

3) Showing too much skin

Showing too much skin doesn’t necessarily add sexiness but it will only make you look trashy. Always remember that every outfit needs to be balanced. If you decide to show off your arms and cleavage then make sure you have your legs covered up or opt for s stunning full sleeved mini dress! Remember ladies, Balance is key!

4) Too much bling

I understand the urge to look like a sparkly angel but there is a limit to how much diamonds you should wear in one outfit! I think Coco Channel nailed it when she said that it’s always necessary to remove at least one of your accessory before you leave the house. Too much bling will distract the eyes from the outfit. So remember, bling can make or break your outfit

5) You can’t wear sequence in the day time

It is ridiculous to think that sequence is just meant for the night! You can easily pair a sequenced piece of clothing with some solid neutral pieces and rock it as a day time outfit. Pair a sequenced jacket with a basic white tee and some ripped skinny jeans and a nice pointy heel and you have a great day time chic look

6) You think short girls can’t rock a maxi skirt

Maxi skirts look great on all women! A nicely fitted maxi skirt can actually make a short girl look taller! Just get a solid colored maxi skirt and pair it with a tight top to show off your body shape and wear some heels under the skirt to help guide the eyes in a vertical manner making you look taller. It’s that easy folks!

7) Denim on denim is a fashion no-no!

This one is a total myth! Anyone can rock the double denim look but it is essential to keep some things in mind! In order to look chic you need to mix various washes together to create a coherent look! Try pairing a dark denim jacket with a pair of light denim jeans!

There you go folks a quick list to help you dress better! Stay Chić.

Here is a run down of all the staples in a woman's wardrobe!

1) Classic White T-shirt

A definite staple! A white T-shirt is so versatile! You can dress it up with a monochrome patterned pair of jeans, a fitted blazer and some strappy heels or dress it down with a pair of ripped jean shorts, a nice boyfriend blazer and some colorful wedges and accessorize with a nice pair of sun glasses. The possibilities are simply endless!

2) Cargo pants

Yes! You read it right! Cargo pants are coming back and they are selling like hot cakes! Pair your green cargo pants with neutral colored tops like white, grey or black and pair them with a nice chunky knit scarf, boots or some nice heels! and accessorize with  gold jewelry and you’ll have people doing double takes all day!

3) Little Black Dress

Who can go wrong with an LBD? Every woman must have a LBD. LBD’s never go out of style! You can wear them throughout the year. When you’re in a hurry just slip one on and you can head out hassle free. They are chic and effortless. You can go elegant and regal like Elizabeth Taylor in her iconic LBD or you can take the sexiness to a new notch and go all glam like Elizabeth Hurley’s iconic black Versace dress.

4) Cardigans

Cardigans are the ultimate finishing touch to bring your outfit together! They are great for layering in fall and winter and provide a pop of color to your outfits in spring and summer. A nice solid cardigan can be styled with any look you’re going for and are perfect to spice up your boring work outfit

5) Plaid shirt

Plaid is the new black! A woman must have one pair of oversized plaid shirt. You can wear them as a cardigan or go super casual with a pair of shorts or tuck them under a skater skirt for an effortlessly chic look or completely glam it up with a sequenced skirt, high heels and a chunky statement necklace.

6) Jeans

A perfect fitting pair of jeans is an absolute must have! A perfect pair must fit your hips snuggly and fall straight down from your widest part of your hip. Dark wash denim are so versatile as they can help you create an outfit that can easily transition from a day to night look (and they are extremely forgiving too!)

7) Blazer

A blazer is a no brainer! Every woman must have a nice fitted blazer in her wardrobe. A blazer is the only piece of clothing that will help you dress up any outfit in an instant. Believe me ladies, a blazer is a gift that simply keeps giving! 

8) Black skirt

A skirt is a girl’s best friend! You can rock a nice black skirt to the office with a blazer or hit the clubs with your girlfriends if you pair them with a sequenced top and accessorize with some minimalistic jewelry 

9) Nude Heels

Nude heels is a wardrobe essential! They make your legs look longer there by creating an illusion of looking taller! You can pair them with a flirty skirt or with any neutral shades. When in a rut just stick to the classics and a nude pair of heels can pull any outfit together.

There you go! These are my personal wardrobe essentials! Happy shopping and stay chić!
