Eva "The Diva" Pigford (The newest
America's Top Model) has me sold when
she said, "fashion is change". It's
the beginning of winter and time to
bundle up in your garments. This season's
fashion police have their trained eye
and fury hand cuffs thirsty for a catch.
There is the old and new of fashion
for every season. The old, that has
yet to expire, and the new, that breaks
through with ideas and guidelines for
the coming season.
Let's
review the fashion past that should be
left alone.
The Don'ts:
5. Poorly Kept Fur
(Fur that comes off on
anything you touch)
No
need to destroy everyone else's look because
your fur is shedding. Real fur is costly;
it cost to obtain, and keep up.
Tip: try
faux fur.
4.
Open Shoes
Don't
forget fashion changes with the season.
It may look cute but if it makes no since
leave it alone. Remember the heart break
hotel video where Whitney Houston had
a full length white mink on a sunny Jamaican
beach with flip flops on. The things she
had on may have looked cute but for the
season and together they made no since
and should have been left alone. Excuse
me; are you Whitney Houston's cousin?
3.
Jerseys
This
is not the season of the jersey. Unless
you live in California where the weather
is always jersey appropriate, leave your
jerseys alone until the warm seasons.
Jerseys over hoodies will get you apprehended.
2.
Knee High Timberland Boots
Just
because timberland made them doesn't mean
they should be worn.
1.
Manolo Boots (high heeled timberland)
That
was the boot of winter 2003.
Now
for our upcoming fashion goodies looking
forward.
The Do's
5.
Stylish Layers
Dressing
in layers will allow you to adapt appropriately
to weather conditions through out the day inside and out.
4.
Faux Fur
It's
fashionable, warm, easy to take care of,
and versatile.
3.
Winter Whites
Alluring
classic white grabs attention year around.
Unlike black, you can combine tones of
white. Try snow white with off white. Try textured and furry whites that
are wintry and defiantly not summer wear.
Cotton, cashmere, and wool.
2.
Accessories
Accessories
bring any bland outfit to life year round.
The great thing about winter is you get
to wear more. Try cute scarves, hats,
gloves, broaches, muffs, leg warmers,
and color. Keep your eye on theft stores;they
carry some of the hottest items. Think
vintage for the New Year.

Try Fashion
Dress
in what makes you feel best. "It's better
to have ten pieces in your closet that
you wear all the time and that make you
feel great every time you put them on
rather than having fifty pieces that don't
do much for you." said, Andre Walker (Oprah's
stylist)
