Fashion Rules, according to Swissmiss
1. No velvet between Valentine's and Labor Day (if in the south, wait til the beginning of October!)
2. No white shoes, sandals, etc between Labor Day and Easter.
3. Your skirt should have more material vertically than horizontally.
4. Black is chic anytime during the year, but hot during the summer. Off set it w/ khaki or white for your own sake.
5. Do not wear summery shoes with winter clothes or vice versa.
6. If I can see your thong/panty line thru your jeans, they're tooooo tight.
7. If I can see the stretch marks on your chest, perhaps your shirt is too low cut.
8. If you are going to wear sandals, refer to the thread on the rules of feet.
9. If you have fat rolls on your stomach or back, that's perfectly cool. God made us all different sizes. Just don't let us see them. Clothes come in large sizes for a reason.
10. As a corollary, skinny girls should not wear skin-tight stuff just because they can. Especially during the day.
Black in the summer is sorta cool though. It has that Audrey Hepburn/Jackie O at Cape Cod sort of look. I have lots of black stuff that I wear, but mostly at night.
