Showing Too Much Skin
If you think “sexy” equals showing lots of skin, your state of mind might be stuck in the early 2000s. We're not trying to be Christina Agularia anymore. Showing too much skin can appear tasteless, so before you pair a low-cut top with a mini skirt, we urge you to try a mock neck top instead. Leaving a little to the imagination never hurt anyone! A cute sleeveless summer dress is one thing—parading downtown in not much more than your birthday suit is another. Keep warm and keep classy! If you absolutely love an outfit that shows a little too much skin, don't be afraid to layer it up. You can always wear a cami under or a cardigan over. For dresses that feel a little too short, you can always pair it with a cute pair of leggings to not feel so exposed.

Not Wearing the Right Undergarments
Being Too Trendy
Not Cleaning Your Shoes
One of the biggest faux pas that even fashionable women make is not cleaning their shoes. Your white Adidas Superstars aren’t going to look striking and sporty if there’s dirt all over them. Preemptively spray your shoes with a protective spray, then be sure to clean them immediately if they get even a little dirty.

Not Tucking Blouses
Some outfits look better with your blouse tucked in. If you’re wearing a pencil skirt, don’t be afraid to tuck properly by adding a nice knot at the end of your blouse. It may feel a little strange at first, but it’ll definitely upgrade your outfit from great to glam.

Forgetting to Cinch
Some dresses don’t really flatter the figure, and wearing them as-is can make it seem like you’re wearing a moo-moo. It’s easy to cinch almost any dress yourself. It’ll give the rectangular dress some shape, and let you show off your figure.

Not Mixing Gold and Silver
Mixing metals used to be a serious faux pas, but the rule is falling out of style. Now, mixing gold and silver can look beautiful. Try it on a pair of delicate necklaces or even accent rings.

Avoiding the Tailor
Tailors exist for a reason. Getting your clothing tailored is a little more expensive, but it is the perfect way to make your clothing flatter your shape. It’s like men who don’t tailor their suits – it just doesn’t look as good.

Keeping Worn Out Clothing
We all have that sweater that we want to keep forever, but it’s worn out. Distressed can look good, but if it’s too distressed, throw it out! It’s time to make room for your new favorite piece of clothing.
