Summer Fashion Mistakes

Quick Tip

I asked your opinion on summer fashion mistakes at the beginning of the summer and this was the response. Thanks to everyone who participated.

  • Belly just a little too noticeable. Avoid belly shirts if this is a problem area for you. And really, how many girls/woman can really pull off this look. About one in a thousand from what I have seen. And yes, I do envy that one in a thousand! Anne

  • Too much cleavage... need I say more? Anita

  • Stretch pants. If they are personal favorites, wear them at home, not to the mall. They are great for lounging around the house, but the knees get baggy very quickly! Gillian

  • Self tanner applied incorrectly. If you find yourself with a smear of color that you hadn't intended on, I hear a wedge of lemon will dissolve the mistake in seconds. Marly

  • Patterned panties under white pants. Overly obvious pantylines are bad enough... I certainly don't want to see the color or the pattern. Brenda

  • An orange tank top and a fushia purse. Have at least one neutral summer purse. Angeline

  • Uncared for feet in pretty sandals. Margo

  • Sandals that are blatantly the wrong color. I saw a gorgeous black and white skirt and top combo paired with a pair of old brown sandals. Jennifer
