Five ways to anger the fashion police

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Jeans

While I'm sure you look just fabulous every time you set foot outside the house, the majority of people don't. At least, not all the time. Sometimes it's because they didn't change out of their sweats they wore for yardwork earlier in the day, in which case I have ZERO sympathy.

However, even I have been guilty of thinking I put together an outfit that was, you know, fine (and not fine like Beyonce -- fine like, "I suppose it'll do"), only to realize later that a crime of fashion has been committed when I wasn't looking. Maybe my skirt looked fine when I was standing straight in front of the mirror in the morning, but apparently the humidity or sitting in it or something caused it to ride up in unflattering ways by the afternoon.

This post at Blogher points out five common style mistakes and how you can stop making them. Click through the gallery to see if you've been guilty of these fashion faux pas. If you have, don't worry -- I'll tell you how to avoid them in the future!
